Yes, Job is another of Heinlein's books where pontificating to
the reader seems to be the main purpose. It's quite a bit like
The Number of the Beast in that respect. Somewhat disappointing;
probably not worth the hard-cover price ($16.95, I believe)
unless you enjoy being preached at, or want to hear about
Heinlein's trip to the South Pacific. I suspect that the first
part of the book is an attempt to write off that trip as a
business expense, but then the whole thing seems forced.
