Is it any good?
I really enjoyed his juvenile space adventures--when I was a juvenile. And his short stories were very good. "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel",
"Citizen of the Galaxy" and "Starship Trooper" were great reads, if you could get past the propaganda. Even if you couldn't swallow Heinlein's politics, he did bring up a lot of good points and he made you think, he was a great storyteller, wrote effortless prose and his science was excellent. But "Stranger in a Strange Land" was a disappointment to me in spite of its success with the hippie-dippie crowd. The books that followed were a real embarrassment. I couldn't finish even one of them, and I soon gave up on him. Either I outgrew him, or RAH had collapsed into senility and near dementia. Even worse, his sexual attitudes and his view of women bordered on the creepy.
It's sad, Heinlein was one of my childhood heroes, but towards the end of his career he just broke my heart.

I never read that one.
