![]() The great wail of Pete and his warpath are, to me, the real core of the book. OK, time travel back and forth twice (not exactly, but I am not going to reveal the story) is fine with rare exposure of the inherent paradoxes (do we need parallel universes to avoid meeting our doppel gangers?) and is the nominal theme here. I enjoyed all the passages where Pete is present and active the most. Since I got her from a shelter, she had to be neutered, an absolute no-no for Pete (and, perhaps, Heinlein's own cats). I finally got my first cat six years ago and she is not quite like Petronius the Arbiter, Pete for short, in the book. Except for one thing: Heinlein, I think, knew a lot about cats. There are many aspects to this book that is not meant to be taken seriously. ![]()
