Review of 'To sail beyond the sunset' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Oh, no. This might be the first time a book I read later ruins a previous book I loved.

It felt a bit as if I was reading the same [b:Time Enough for Love|353|Time Enough for Love|Robert A. Heinlein|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1218664355s/353.jpg|75443] only with all the iffy parts accentuated; it felt like I was reading smut that wasn't all that good and had a lot of disagreeable moralising in it.
I think the biggest disappointment was that every character is the same.

I know it's an old book but it felt so wrong listening to such oblivious views, and it made me think that my very much loved earlier book by same author has those same views, only the reader of it was just as oblivious at the time of reading it.
