Once again Gollancz edition spoils big twist that happens in latter half of the book in the description on the back. I could've guessed based on weird stuff that was happening earlier but it's nevertheless upsetting.

4.5*, very enjoyable read albeit sometimes silly read. I love that Heinlein made his cat into a whole character like that. Love the story behind the title as well.

The more I know about Heinlein the more I like him but let's just say the romance subplot did not age well at all. Introduction by Baxter explains the deal (she was meant to be character of his wife) but it was creepy. Should've made her older in the 70's.
