I Will Fear No Evil by Robert A. Heinlein
2.0
Ugh. This starts off with an excellent science fiction concept - a brain transplant! How will the patient respond in her new body? How will those around her react? What does this say about our society now and in the future?
Then Heinlein bogs the story he started with page after page of pontification and armchair analysis of the sexes, wealth, and free love. I lost interest in the story a while after the court case ended, but kept going in the hope that another thread would appear to draw my interest again. No such luck. Tons of dialogue, but not much plot to drive the dialogue.
There are much better books out there, both by Heinlein and by other science fiction greats. Don't waste your time on this one.
