I'll tell you, I grew up with Heinlein (so to speak).  Through his books 
he taught me a great deal and was a pleasant companion from elementary
school onward. 

Now I'll continue to buy each new book in hardcover the minute it 
appears (a rare exception for me) because I feel that I owe him a lot, 
but the two most recent novels have left me somewhat cool.   What 
happened to the TREMENDOUS, almost enveloping structure and content of 
the Lazurus Long and other, earlier stories?

I mourn for this loss, but I WILL keep on hoping and buying...
