Though flagging behind "Stranger in a Strange Land" in mass appeal, perhaps to due upsetting religious sensibilities, "Job: A Comedy of Justice" has to be my personal favorite work by Heinlein. The protagonist, Alec Graham, is flung from reality to reality taking every available opportunity to make things worse, and doing so. A modern Job, his existence is being tested by God. Through love and suffering he eventually reaches a highly bureaucratic heaven to try and get redress for his grievances. ONLY Heinlein could have made this book with delicacy, humorous while making you question yourself and everything else. In my opinion, this book cannot be read once. You must read it and let it work on your subconscious for a few years. Upon re-reading it, the brilliance of writing and the eloquence of Heinlein's phrasing will astound you. This book can affect your life, even if the only message that comes to you from it is... "Take it Easy"

Anyone who has ever read Job realizes that the book basically begs you to come up with your own answer of why bad things happen to good people. I realize that Heinlein is not a "religious" writer; but he's more explicit in his descriptions than other derivative works of Job such as Harold Kushner's. (yes I realize his title uses when and not why in its title). Maybe because Heinlein's book isn't written by a member of the clergy, it can posit an answer to the question that may on the surface be blasphemous but isn't really at all. I have never forgotten the answer to the question of why that is presented in this book, and in a very human way it makes more sense than any of the traditional religious explanations I have found.

This is mind bending novel by a real master of the science fiction genre. It is one of the many memorable books that late Robert Heinlein has written. It's a favorite of mine because it is the first Heinlein novel I ever read. I quickly followed it up with "Starnger in a Strange Land," "The Fourth Estate" and "To Sail Beyond the Sunset." A truly excellent read...and I read very little sci-fi until I came across "Job..."

The Modern Book of Job
This is the only RAH book I have read. That is not to say that I have'nt tried to read His others, they just don't seem to hit that grand slam that this one does. Lesen Sie weiter...

Great RAH book
This book was really funny and filled with irony. Anyone who attends church of any kind regularly should find it entertaining, but not too blasphemous or offensive. Lesen Sie weiter...

One of my favorites!
I also originally read this book in high school and was my favorite book I had read. Still passes the test of time, and is still one of my favorites.
