Ideas about our identity. Rich old man who is dying has his mind transplanted into a young woman's body. Both have to learn to live together.
I generally appreciate Heinlein's attitude to love, romance, and relationship but this one goes too far. Crossing the border between SF and erotic novels.
Uttery entirely totally creepy.
Why this story is considered a classic is completely beyond me. Far from Heinlein at his best, this is Heinlein far into his descent into 'junk that can sell'
Content-free and more than a little silly. The protagonist, a filthy rich, dying old man, buys a new body and gets a brain transplant. The catch is, his new body is female. Then he has sex with everyone. The end.
A natural evolution of the direction Heinlein was going at the time. Not his best book, but thoughtful and intelligent.
