I know it's a classic but it left me cold.

This one hasn't aged that well. While certainly a product of its time, it's still mediocre despite such a concession.

I went in with high hopes after another Heinlein's books. Then, kept waiting for it to get better. While it had a few interesting moments, it would have been better to have listened to the little voice saying to put it down and move on...

Has a female “protagonist” but she’s really only there to sound dumb and ask the male characters questions. Classic scifi from the 60’s, need I say more?
