Time Enough for Love

The Lives of Lazarus Long

By: Robert A. Heinlein

Narrated by: Tom Weiner

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 Loveis 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.

Gratuitous sex ruins the story

Anyone familiar with Heinlein will expect a degree of hedonism in his stories. This story lays it on thick. It is basically the story of a Man breaking every heterosexual taboo over 2000 years. It is interesting at first, but it gets to be too much by the end.

Interesting subject matter, but dull and drawn out

Lots of good ideas explored, but overall the dullest heinlein book I've read and it just kept going and going and going...

Best Book in the World

My favorite book ever.

Fifteen words are required to save a review. word word word.

classic Heinlein

I think th e voice actor is amazing... would have liked to have heard his young and old voice have differences... also would have liked a female voice actor to do the female roles.

Intriguing but too long

A little too repetitive, but worth hearing to the end. The concepts are exceptionally thought provoking. Once man conquers space, how will he master death? Where will he explore afterwards? How will our relationships evolve in the future? What are the consequences of humanities norms and morals? None of the questions are answered, just explored.

Wonderful

Heinlein is one of the masters of sci to. What an imagination!! Narrator did a fantastic job.

An Exceptional and Exhausting Story

Although the storyline was quite interesting when contemplated afterwards, reading through this novel was exhausting. I have effortlessly read a large body of classic literature and science fiction, what many would consider boring books, but I struggled greatly to make it through this one. The dialogue and events were far too drawn out, for my taste. Some fairly heavy editing would have made this book marvelous.

Incredible

Heinlein is one of the greatest storytellers I’ve ever seen, and also one of the greatest thinkers. This book was as much of a life lesson as it was a darn good story.

Great

Superlative! Magnificent! Best Heinlein book ever written. Sets a new bar height that thus far has remained out of the reach of any other author.
