My God the man can write.

Also:

Dear God this is garbage.

The Heinleinian woman is unbelievable. I don't believe in her. A gorgeous bombshell drops into a man's life, struts around naked with no shame, is super smart, and conveniently wants to share her life with this particular meathead ex-soldier who she's never before met. Nope. I don't believe it.

Heinlein needs an editor. Oscar, Star, and Rufo just defeated Igli the giant by making him eat himself. They crammed his arms and legs into his mouth and forced him to eat himself, which he did. And when he was finished, there was nothing left. Literally, the giant ate himself and the mass of his body disappeared into nothingness. This is not science fiction. This is not even fantasy. This is farce. I do not like this.

It never gets better.

Rating: one.
