Wonderful...but not for everyone

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls was my first Heinlein book, read when I was 13, interestingly enough because I was so into quantum physics that I read everything I thought might be remotely related. I was intrigued and delighted, simply assuming there was more to the ending than I understood. I was right. To fully enjoy this bit of sci-fi joy, you have to read more of Heinlein. It opened a whole new world to a science-obsessed teen-age girl, with an admittedly open-minded attitude towards so-called moral issues. I've re-read it more than once as an adult and get more out of it every time. I agree with a previous reviewer in that this writer requires thought and analysis. This is something almost entirely lacking in too much of the reading public today, at least looking at the bestsellers lists. I will admit that this isn't the best of RAH, and for the average reader, not the one to start with. But, oh, what a great step into a wider world.

A great plot! One needs to look for a deeper meaning.

Cat has a great plot and wonderful action. It was the first of his books that I have read so I can't atest for the content of the novel being Heinlein or not. However I can say that it shows a amusing insight to the behavior of people, and the expectations that we have for one another.

Great Book, not Heinlein's best, but a great book.

Call me biased, Heinlein is who got me hooked on Science Fiction, but this is a great book. Lots of fun to read, it's much like Job: A Comedy Of Justice, but it gives us an outsiders look at the Long Family of Time Enough For Love, and ties together many of Heinlein's earlier and later works. Don't read this book until you've read Methusaleh's Children, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough For Love, and The Number of The Beast.

Although I enjoyed this Heinlein book I recomend reading Time Enough for Love, To Sail Beyond the Sunset and perhaps Stranger in a Strange Land before reading this. I didn't like how the book ended, but the ending turned out to be in To Sail Beyond the Sunset.I didn't like the portrayal of the charactures such as Lazarus or Jubal Harshaw, or the real reasons they were trying to save the computer Mike. Some of the time loop stuff got kinda crazy and hard to follow. Generally I love Heinlein but this seems to be a weaker edition to some of his other stories. However I would read because it is an interesting closer look on some of the less promonint characters in the Long family.
