Lines: 27 From: "Thomas Young Galloway"There'll be some minor spoilers coming up. Warnings will be posted. As much as I like Heinlein, I have to reccommend that you don't buy this one, at least in hardcover. While it starts off well, it tends to be pretty disconnected. To put it bluntly, the book doesn't really go anywhere. Minor Spoiler: The cat doesn't appear until about page 270 and is a *very* minor character. Semi-major spoiler: Is there really an ending to this book? Or does it just stop? Is there any real point to the book? Major Spoiler: It's a sequel to Number of the Beast. tyg p.s. Has anyone else spotted the error in the cover illustration? -------
