I really enjoyed this book. It has its flaws of course, but I was a fun and light read, unlike some other Heinlein works.
His politics and gender roles are very 1950s, but it is what it is. That’s who the man was and when he lived. But he did craft an interesting story, well paced, with an excellent main character and good support cast.
It is more a comedy than a true sci-fi book, but Heinlein knows his sci-fi and uses to good fun.
