The Cat Who Walks Through Walls

The unabridged version of "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" by Robert A. Heinlein was intended to be my latest "read," but I didn't even make it through the third chapter...

I guess I should have read the reviews before I started, since they seem spot on to me.

The basic theme of the reviews is that this is NOT the first work of Heinlein you should start with. In fact, you shouldn't broach it until you've read at least a half-dozen or so of his other works. And then, you still might not enjoy it if you aren't a fairly hard core fan. And even then, because of its highly unusual construction, you still might not enjoy it.

I wasn't too keen on the style anyway, so I'm guessing this is one book (and maybe author) I probably won't get back to...
