That's what most people say when they read heinleins later work. I for one find I like those little distractions. I prefer his later work a whole lot more than his earlier because of that I think.
I agree 100% of mistress and cat who can walk through walls. I read the later before I read any Lazarus books, than reread it again after I read the rest. especially after reading Number of the Beast. tunnel in the sky and the door into summer (my first heinlein, I've read that about 4 times) are also some of my favs
I just found the story line of Maureen a little boring, the part of the book that takes place in the present really sucked, and almost all the flashbacks were repeats from other books I read I think, though I found certain parts I liked. it just didn't stick with me as much as I liked.
I've worked my way through about 80% of his novels. I seem to like his little escapades into the working of machinery and robotics and everything from his perspective. I still havent read stranger or troopers (I'm still trying to forget the movie) But I love the mars and venus he created.
