Heinlein, I Will Fear No Evil

[dmaze]

I'm not normally much on the book review thing here, but I finished Heinlein's I Will Fear No Evil last night. The plot made no sense beyond the first chapter that introduced his concept, which could have been a good one. But wow the sweeping generalizations brush comes out. And if you know, or happen to be, someone of the female body-type that you consider a generally respectable human being not totally driven by their reproductive organs, you'll probably find most of the book pretty offensive. Blech. Really just not worth the effort.

From what little I've read of Heinlein (Starship Troopers, Ringworld trilogy, the opening of another book that I eventually hurled across the room in disgust), Heinlein never got laid while we was writing.

I kept hoping the Ringworld books would get better. Then again, I kept hoping the Wheel of Time books would get better, too, and I'm not so sure that Jordan has been getting much, either.
