• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Truly tremendous work of science fiction.  Anti authoritarian if you are like me, but potentially pro military if you have a different world view.  No matter what you come into the book thinking Heinlein does a masterful job of conveying the thoughts and feelings of a young boy becoming a soldier.  Perfectly executed in every way.
