From Library Journal
Sure, there's time enough for love...but who has time enough to get through 281/2 hours of a novel as dull as this? It opens 22 centuries in the future, when the ruler of a remote colony planet tries to keep 2000-year-old Lazarus Long from committing suicide before he passes on what he has learned. What follows is a very talky book, comprised mostly of Long's reminiscences. Curious about his possible blood ties to almost everyone he encounters, Long talks at length about genetics, but what he says now seems absurdly out-of-date, thanks to recent developments in DNA fingerprinting. When this book first appeared in 1973, it was hailed as one of Heinlein's masterworks the capstone to his future history cycle. Now it creaks with age, leaving listeners to marvel at how quickly the future can grow stale. Lloyd James's reading injects some life into the story but not enough to make it a worthwhile acquisition to any but well-funded sf collections. R. Kent Rasmussen, Thousand Oaks, CA

I'm half way through this book for the second time, the last time being over 5 years ago. The first time I read it, it was full of wise words, now they are words with meaning in my life.
Lazerus' "wisdom" he does not want to share, but so redily does has meaning to anyone willing to think about it, and aply it in thier lives.
I will admit, it is not an action packed adventure, and one must have the patience of Job to read it. :) If you like action and adventure, try Starship Troopers, The Rolling Stones, or Glory Road. Even I have said to myself, "I need a book with some ACTION!" and read one of those.
Time Enough for Love is a quiet book, for thinking. If you don't want to think, don't read it.
"Sheffield had decided, centuries back, that the saddest thing about ephemerals was that thier little lives rarely held time enough for love." - Heinlien, from Time Enough for Love
Lazerus Long, the oldest man alive wishes to die. But some well meaning far distant relatives "rescue" him from his dignified death, and keep him alive, against his will, at first.
As Lazerus undergoes treatment, he is urged to share what the leader of the planet (and Howard Families) calls wisdom, but that Lazerus calls nonsense and false memories. He agrees to share his stories, only if something new is found for him to do, 'cause he's done it all.
Lazerus tells some winding stories, and then we emerge three years later, on a new planet. I won't go any further, I don't want to spoil what "new things" were found for Lazerus.
Lazerus Long, scurge of the universe, rouge of the ages has a tender side. And his stories about the people he loved will touch your heart. Give this book a chance, and stop waiting for the action to kick in, you'll just disapoint yourself.

Simply put, this is the greatest book ever written. When I first read this book, it was a follow up to both Stranger in a Strange Land and Number of the Beast, two more great books. Needless to say, I thought I had read the best of Heinlein. I was wrong. When first introduced to Lazarus Long in number of the beast, I disliked the character, after reading Time enough for love, he not only became my favorite literary character of all time, but also my namesake (e-mail). As always, his character development is astounding as well as the content. This is a great chapter in the future history series and gives an almost autobiographical feel to it. I must say that this is my favorite book of all time, because of it's uniqueness. It attacks just about every taboo known to man and introduces a fresh and unconventional hero. If you read this and like it, I also recomend To Sail Beyon The Sunset, the story of Lazarus Long's Mother

"Time enough..." was my "entry" book to Heinlein, and my "turn on switch" to Sci-Fi. Before it, all I had read was Isaac Asimow (and still love the good doctor...), and my interest for the matter was quite superficial. But when I started this one, and could never put it down, I discovered Sci-Fi could be much more than good story-telling! Heinlein has a way of making his stories double-meaning: you can read them as nice Sci-Fi tales, or you can think better, and find new ways to see Life, Mankind, and even God! Here is an excellent example of this: it goes from morals to adventure, from sex to family, from war to peace, and it never stops making full sense! You can disagree with Heinlein's ideas, but I strongly recommend that you don't miss knowing them!
