Title: not a good novel, but interesting for fans
Review: It is pedantic and full of lectures. It's a mildly interesting short story that has been stretched to a novel. It's even harder to understand the character motivations than his later works.HOWEVER as the review says, it has a lot of the threads of his later works, and as such is interesting. If you have not read his "Tramp Royale" and understanding more about Heinlein is of interest, read Tramp first. It's a travelogue of a trip he took around the work in 1953 and it benefits from better writing and a more interesting storyline.
