Coco Li cocoooo — WARNING: You must read Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," "The Rolling Stones," "Time Enough for Love," and "The Number of the Beast" before reading this book. It would also be helpful to have read "Stranger in a Strange Land," and "Friday." Familiarity with Baum's Oz stories and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars series is recommended. I think that a lot of the negative reviews here stem from people reading the series out of order or just picking this book up independently of the series or any other Heinlein book. The Cat Who Walks Through Walls is a volume in the continuing saga of Lazarus Long and what has come to be known as the World as Myth stories. Richard Ames is a resident of Golden Rule habitat, which is a space colony near the moon. He is out to dinner with Gwen Novak when a man is killed directly in front of him. Before he knows it, he's running for his life from an enemy (or enemies) unknown. Because this is World as Myth, there's a lot more to the story than Richard is prepared to believe. Those of us familiar with (and half in love with) Lazarus Long might be put off by Richard's disdain for the man, but his position is understandable. Familiar friends are revisited yet again, especially after the action moves to Boondock, where little clothing is worn and lots of intimate action occurs regardless of gender or familial relation. In one amusing exchange, Richard calls Lazarus a "mother-" and Gwen replies, "In his case, that's merely descriptive." If that sort of thing is reprehensible to you, you might want to skip this (and everything else Heinlein's ever written). Fans who overlook (or agree with) his philosophy, and sexism, will find this a rollicking good time. P.S. Unfortunately, Pixel, the title character, doesn't show up until much later than I had remembered. That's sad, because he's awesome!

2lf Twelve 2lf — Just started this, but I like it so far

Thang Nguyen thangnm1702 — I loved this book, though not in a way that would make me will my estate to the Ayn Rand society or drop everything to read the rest (or any other) of her books. Mostly I loved it in the "I'm glad that I could appreciate what so many other people go bonkers for" way of literary affection. (Though alas, A Confederacy of Dunces continues to leave me out in the cold . . .)
