The Cat Who Walks Through Walls (The World As Myth #3) 
This is not one of his greatest, but not bad either, pretty good. Heinlein's the world as myth concept, imaginative and entertaining is as good as his earlier work, even though this is a product of his later, weirder phase. The return of some older RAH characters is also fun. Books about time travel are always confusing, maybe by default (see Piers Anthony Bearing An Hourglass) and this one is no exception.
This one takes a while to really get moving, but at the end of the day is goo SF. Like many of his post 1970 writings, Heinlein had taken a turn towards the bizarre, but if a reader is patient enough a good read can be had.

Undecided rating. 5 stars for dialogue. 5 stars for Mike the Computer but Negative 5 for that plot thread never obtaining resolution(??).
There is a saying that when pizza is good, it is great, and when its bad its still pretty good. This saying may also apply to RAH titles.

Why, why, why? Why am I so stupid? After I finished my last Heinlein book some months ago (can't remember which one, sorry), in my review I said I'd never read another one of his books, I was so disgusted with him as a perverted writer. I mean, he's a De Sade pervert. Dirty old man. And I'm no prude. But I don't want to pick up a decent seeming sci fi book only to find it full of nothing more than gratuitous sex and little else, likely designed to shock and titillate. It's stupid and, frankly,
Review from 01:I am a great lover of the words of Heinlein. But this book has got to be one of his worst. While it has some very interesting quantum physics threads, and some interesting character as aware entity moments, it does not hold together. The relationships of the main character and his children (near the end of the book) are confusing and more explicit than needed/wanted. The 'mysteries' the main character was trying to solve fell apart like wet tissue paper. I was dissapointed that
Abandoned 3/4ths of the way through. Life is too short for this shit.
Do you know how the cat can walk through walls? Because he doesn't know he can't. The first 2/3rds of the book played out like a James Bond novel. It was a lot of fun to read and the two main character's dialogue had me laughing out loud. All this takes place 200 hundred years in the future but it didn't feel so futuristic at first. But then starting on page 255 everything changed...no more repartee, no more thrilling chases, no more edge of your seat fight scenes (did finally get to meet that
