Title: Farnham's Follies
Review: I am so surprised that this book ever got printed. At the beginning of the book, there is a part where a girl falls for the neighbor's dad..in a matter of a few hours after being trapped inside their shelter, she professes her love for him and he does for her in a manner that two 8th graders would. For Heinlein to harvest this story beyond the first chapter is confusing and at the same time laughable. The story zips along as if it is contrived of paper dolls and cartoon images. Not a good one, my friends. Not entertaining for a sophisticated reader. I think perhaps a 12 year old might be entertained. But my gosh,...please mom, steer your children onto something with a little meat on its bones.
