Format:Paperback
I've read all of Heinlein's books, and this is one of my favourites. It's interesting as a period piece (turn of the century onwards) as well as a fantastic set of memoirs of Maureen Johnson, mother of the infamous Lazarus Long. If you haven't read any of Heinlein's other books, you might find things a little confusing in places, but it's still very readable. If you have read any other books by Heinlein, then what are you waiting for? All (or nearly all) the best characters are in this book. It really wraps everything up nicely.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I imagine this book wouldn't make much sense to people who haven't read other titles in the future history series (mostly involving "Lazarus Long"), but I'm enjoying reading it again after a gap of some twenty years.

Heinlein sadly died before this book was published, but it is a fittingtribute to The Master. Including characters & ideas from several of hisearlier classics, the main plot (Time-traveller Maureen Johnson beingaccused of murder) is weak, and what happened to the SF? - but the subplotconcerning Maureen's life in the 19th/20th centuries is as fascinating &illuminating as we fans would expect.
Read 'Time Enough For Love' and'The Number of the Beast' before this - it'll make more sense.
