" The idea behind this book was splendid and ground-breaking. " Despite its problems, this is still one of my favourite Heinlein books. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.And by far a minor issue is light of all the great things happening in this book!" The writing voice is choppy at times, but that's pretty much always been my opinion of Heinlein.
Its a look at gender identity and sexuality. There was a lot of things to consider here. I loved the interactions between the characters: heartfelt, honest and raw. Written at the dawn of the 1970s, this novel is the brilliantly shocking story of the ultimate transplant. Heinlein delivers a wild and intriguing classic of science fiction. He was now fused with the very vocal personality of his gorgeous, recently deceased secretary, Eunice-with mind-blowing results! Together they must learn to share control of her body. The operation was a great success-but the patient was no longer Johann Sebastian Bach Smith. His solution was to have surgeons transplant his brain into a new body.
Though his mind was still keen, his body was worn out. Johann Sebastian Bach Smith was immensely rich-and very old. As startling and provocative as his famous Stranger in a Strange Land, here is Heinlein’s grand masterpiece about a man supremely talented, immensely old, and obscenely wealthy who discovers that money can buy everything.
