Lazarus Long, the main protagonist and Heinlein's alter ego, is so in love with life he refuses to die. Born in 1916, he lives through multiple centuries. Time Enough for Love is the telling of his journey, lovingly detailed, through a vast and magnificent timescape of centuries and worlds. Using the voice of Lazarus, Heinlein expounds his own philosophies, including his radical (for 1946) ideas on sexual freedom. Time Enough for Love is the capstone and crowning achievement of Heinlein's Future History series.

This review is specifically for the Kindle edition I purchased in September, 2015. The novel itself is one of my all-time favorites.EDITORS, PROOFREADERS, OR ANYONE IN CHARGE OF THE KINDLE EDITION:
I will proofread and correct your Kindle edition for free. I am a professional technical writer, editor, and professor.
The Kindle edition is so full of errors it is difficult to read. It's not the occasional flub caused by scanning and then converting an old file, something like a missing apostrophe. The Kindle edition has numerous errors, many of them serious enough to confuse the reader. Character names are misspelled. Sentences are lacking end punctuation.
I say this as a fan of Heinlein's book: you have injured a classic SF novel. You have, quite frankly, reduced the quality of the work through lack of proofreading. I am not some grammar pedant who has identified a single error or two and would like everyone to know about my erudition. I know that today's publishing market moves fast and the margins are thin. That is why I offer, again, to proofread and correct the many mistakes in this long and otherwise wonderful book. I will perform this service for FREE. Please contact me.

Time Enough for Love (Audible Audio Edition) Robert A Heinlein Lloyd James Inc Blackstone Audio Books Reviews
This book is a special favorite of mine. I have read it several times. The major element of fantasy is that the hero Lazarus Long lives many lifetimes of an ordinary person. The initial story line is that Lazarus is going through the process of rejuvenation. Not his choice. He intended to die. But he was kept alive to tell his story becuase he had lived so long, in the hope that his long life might provide lessons to others about how to live better. Eventually he accepts life and moves forward to a new life. Subplots Intelligent computers, one of whom becomes a woman, disagreements about what he should do with his rejuvenatted life, but he is cloned to give him two females whom he raises, time travel to his birth family where he falls in love and has sex with his mother, enjoys and has problems interesting with his grandfather, sees and interacts with himself as a young child, goes off to war in the First World War and is killed and brought back to life, helps found a colony on a new planet, and many more. I really enjoyed this fantasy, although I know at my age there is not too much time left for me to live. I really like reading Robert Heinlein's novels, but I think this is one of his best. I very highly recommend it to anyone who lifes Heinlein's work. . .
I read this novel originally when it was first published. I have been on a "journey" to reread Heinlein's novels again since I am older (and hopefully, wiser). I was not disappointed. It was as fresh as when I read it the first time. And I may read it again.
This novel is often referred to as the 2nd book in the Lazarus Long Series (Methuselah's Children, Time Enough For Love, The Number of the Beast, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls and To Sail Beyond the Sunset). Lazarus Long (nee Woodrow Wilson Smith) is the longest living member of the Howard Families. The book includes numerous short stories/tales as told by Lazarus through Justin Foote (Chief Archivist) and also includes a number of his "saying" (collected in another book as well.) Stories in the book are about events that take place after Methuselah's Children. And one about meeting his mother (and himself). It is fun, amazing, sad, and enlightening.
If you have enjoyed Heinlein's Future History novels, you will probably enjoy this one as well.
I loved this book when I first read it, which was back when it was first published. Unfortunately, when I decided to go down memory lane, and re-read it. I discovered that the ending of the book has been edited. I remember what I read. And I remember very clearly that there is another chapter to this book which has been removed. I don't want to spoil this for any new readers, so I am not going to tell you what is missing. But if contacts me, I will give them a piece of my mind I am a frugal senior citizen on a very fixed budget. The fact that I paid full price for a book I already read indicates that it was a good book. I am furious about the omission of the real ending. Frankly, I can't understand how, or why it was done. Didn't anyone else complain? To any new readers, perhaps you should buy the hard copy. My guess is that it would be complete. As for me. It has been a couple weeks since I've read this, and I find that I am still angry.
This review is specifically for the edition I purchased in September, 2015. The novel itself is one of my all-time favorites.
