Description

The brilliantly shocking story of the ultimate transplant from New York Times bestselling author Robert A. Heinlein.

As startling and provocative as his famous Stranger in a Strange Land, here is Heinlein's awesome masterpiece about a man supremely talented, immensely old and obscenely wealthy who discovers that money can buy everything. Even a new life in the body of a beautiful young woman.

Once again, master storyteller Robert A. Heinlein delievers a wild and intriguing classic of science fiction.

    Read this twice and loved it. Second only to Stranger In A Strange Land among the best of Heinlein. Conceptually unique and way ahead of its time.

    Possibly the worst Heinlein novel, and certainly not worthy of being listed by iTunes as "an essential." Overwrought, rambling, silly, absurd, poorly-edited, repetitious; truly an awful, awful book. If you can only read one Heinlein book, choose "Stranger in a Strange Land", "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", or one of his excellent young adult books such as "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" or "Citizen of the Galaxy". Look: I'm a huge Heinlein fan. I enjoy even his bad books, and have reread almost all of them, even such iffy offerings as "The Number of the Beast" and "The Day After Tomorrow". But this? #Epicfail. Do not buy. Seriously.
  • One of his best!

    I've read and re-read this story, as I've done all of Heinlein's works, and I would rate this one of his top five. The other four being 'Glory Road', 'Time Enough For Love', 'The Number Of The Beast' and 'The Door Into Summer'. I would include 'Starship Troopers' in that list, but the abomination of the movie by the same name soured me on that particular yarn.
