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.

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,
This was my very first RAH book...the one that got me hooked. I thought it had a cool cover and was in the discount bin so I had just enough for it. I was 15. I couldn't put it down. Since then, I've read almost everything he has written and have loved every single one!

Robert Heinlein has always been near the top of my favorite science fiction authors. His stories, projected through lush language and vivid images, have always given me a chance to escape whatever task I'm doing and invite me to "live" in his world for a bit. THE CAT WHO WALKS THROUGH WALLS is a bit different. Heinlein takes a romance and tries to stuff it between space opera and detective fiction. I can't say that this ménage a trois fails, exactly, but I have a feeling that space opera and
I'm going through my Heinlein collection trying to decide what, if any, to hold on to and what to toss. This one is being tossed. I can only assume that the publisher took this because they figured the author's name would sell enough to give them a profit. They must have been aware the book was poorly written. Or perhaps they knew Heinlein was dying (if he were, this is a guess) and so respected him they took the book anyway. I doubt this but suppose it is possible. One item that I find
This book ended. That is definitely the best part of it. I have enjoyed some of Robert Heinlein's books, but I struggle with his Luna series. This book is part of that series. The story is about Richard Ames who takes his girlfriend Gwen out to dinner. While there someone comes up to the table and tries to hire Richard as an assassin. That man is then killed at the table. When does that little plot point get resolved? Why the next to last page of course! Why resolve it sooner?Anyway Richard and
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.

Im not a complete newbie to Robert A. Heinlein, having read and thoroughly enjoyed The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. TBH, I read this strictly because of the cat, who doesnt even show up until the last part of the book. Still, just like real live cats, Pixel was worth the wait - and someday Im pretty sure Ill name a future cat Pixel. 😽But I do wish I had read more reviews of this one; if I had, I think I would have read some of his other books first. I do enjoy his writing and characters and worldWhy, why, why? Why am I so stupid?
