The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein
4.0

This is a political story wrapped up in the shell of a space colony. But isn't that the basis of all good sci-fi stories? To reflect our world through the lens of a past or future that does not exist but could.

This was a more engaging story than I thought it would be. I went into it as a student to the genre but became engaged in the story. Towards the end, I found that it lagged a bit but overall it was a good story and a great example of the sci-fi genre.

I stumbled a bit with the colloquial language used but understood the purpose. If you find the stilted language as difficult in the beginning as I did, I recommend sticking it out as its worth it.
