Heinlein books are not easy to ready. If you read them as science fiction you will be disappointed, but if you read them as view on society then you will be utterly delighted.

This book is just fantastic, a very interesting view on our society, on politics, religion and so on.

After reading this with a different expectation than when I read “Moon is a harsh mistress” I thinking I need to read “Moon is a harsh mistress” again but this time not as a science fiction book, but as book that writes about our society in the bounds of science fiction. Similar like reading a Philip K. Dick novel.
