Title: Pure drivel from cover to cover
Product review: "Number of the Beast" makes me wish Amazon had a no-star rating. This book has nothing to recommed it to anyone but the most extreme Heinlein afficianado.For starters, the struggling-to-be-one-dimensional characters not only have little to no appeal, but are dull as well. And of course, all the protagonists must hold seventeen hundred doctorates as well as be in prime physical condition, not to mention that they all have the most sparkling of personalities. I thought for a while that this was a parody, which would be fine except for the fact that it's not funny.We could move onto the plot at this point, but why bother. It's the typical nonsense that Heinlein wandered into during the latter stages of his career.Heinlein can be brilliant, as in "Stranger in a Strange Land," but not here.
