This book was a lot of fun. The future speak that Heinlein used threw me off for the first couple pages, but you get used to it!

I was continuously surprised with how Heinlein's predictions of the future were. Except that phones still had chords...

His creativity is amazing. A penal colony on the moon that ships grain back to Earth via a catapult-- genius.
