Science Fiction Book Club discussion

I just got my book in the mail today, so I am not yet ready to start posting opinions, but I thought we should get a thread going.

I just finished the book. Overall I liked it, though I was irked by a few parts. I try to keep in mind that this book is a product of the times in which Heinlein lived.
I was intrigued by the culture and dialect of Luna. It added depth to the story, and made some of the summary parts a bit less boring.
I also really liked Mike. Although I wonder what his motivation was for helping in the revolution.

First, This is one of my favorite Heinlein books. Keeping in mind that he does tend to be pretty chauvinistic, and is a product of his times.

I found the culture and dialects he created for the Loonies very interesting as well.

I recommend the future history books as your next read if you're continuing Heinlein. It takes place in the same "universe" as this book, but along differing time lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_H...

@Tasha - I assumed that Mike's motivations were similar to any child, in that he wanted to help his friend.

I've just downloaded this book. Never read any Heinlein before so here goes.......

This book was amazing

I reas this several months ago and found it to be very engaging. I also listened to it as an audi book and the narrator voiced the lunies with a russian accent which may have been what Heinlan's intent was.

I really want to read this one!

A classic. I have read it several times over the years.
