   Oh yes, Number of the Beast started out good. That's actually what makes it more frustrating.

   I think part of my problem with Fear no Evil is that I read it just after reading all of the Lazarus Long stories (which I enjoyed a lot) and coming from that Fear no Evil just wasn't as good...

   I actually did like Job A Comedy of Justice which he wrote after Fear no Evil... It's very different from his other books and I wouldn't say it's great but it's fun.

   Friday is one of his few novels that I never read..

   Pre-MCU at least, Loki in particular had come to be seen as god of merely mischief/trickery--I assume in part from various comic/cartoon treatments. Heinlein spends some time on this "rehabilitation" in Job: A Comedy of Justice.

   I have never heard of this book before, but the description made me think of the Robert Heinlein novel 'Job: A Comedy of Justice'.

   Especially the line "The final joke of the book is that maybe Satan is not the bad guy after all"

   I am adding it to my reading list. Thanks!
