Negative Positive
Title: pretty bad
Review: I read some of the reviews - wasn't sure about buying this book. I like Heinlein, have read his books over and over for years, but haven't read this one up to now. What tipped the scale was the hint that the book would continue the story of Adam Selene/Mike from the Moon is a Harsh Mistress which is one of the best Heinleins.However, this book doesn't actually have a story. It's one long chase scene with lots of boring derring-do. Also pages and pages and pages of Nick and Nora Charles style conversations with no content, just quip quip quip. And they talk about sex and have sex constantly, but still it's boring. The guy can't write about love and sex with any conviction. Makes you wonder if he ever actually had sex himself.And the final disappointment - almost no explanation of Mike the computer except to mention his name as the reason for all the derring-do.
Is the review positive or negative?
