Synopsis

Time Enough for Love is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein’s famous Future History series. Lazarus Long is so in love with life that he simply refuses to die. Born in the early 1900s, he lives through multiple centuries, his love for time ultimately causing him to become his own ancestor. Time Enough for Love is his lovingly detailed account of his journey through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical ideas on sexual freedom. His use of slang, technical jargon, sharp wit, and clever understatement lend this story a texture and authority that seems the very tone of things to come.

This was such a yawner. For each unit of boring the story was, the narrator was 3 units.

Goodreads review by J.L.

“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.” There is plenty of Heinlein's reshaping/questioning of social mores in Time Enough for Love (much like .Stranger in a Strange Land); however, without the driving force of Stranger's narrative behind it, Time Enough mostly feels disjoin......more

Goodreads review by S.C.

People seem to have a love it or hate it kind of relationship with Heinlein’s Time Enough for Love. And I’ve gotta say I’m strapped firmly to the former bandwagon. Granted, I can see why some of the negative Nancy’s are getting their panties in a knot (okay, maybe the incest theme goes a little far)......more

Goodreads review by Emily

What would you do if you could live 4,000 years? Try out every profession at least once? Make enough babies to populate a planet? Travel as far as the galaxy goes? Lazarus Long has done all that and more. He’s about to die peacefully when he’s kidnapped and rejuvenated and coerced to tell his memoir......more
