The storyline and character development is typical Heinlein quality and thus I couldn't wait to sit down and continue reading. This is more of a story about sexual morales and short stories of a characters lifetime than it is about science fiction. However there were long periods where the main character would muse about sexual morales in an almost dogmatic manner as if Heinlein himself wished for these morals to be true in his lifetime. Other times I felt that Heinlein purposely pushed the reader to accept these dogmas which themselves are contrary to 20th century thinking. These two things in themselves aren't what I disliked, but the amount of time it distracted the reader from the story is what I found annoying. Other than that this is a fun read and definitely conjures up some interesting thoughts.
