Title: Disappointing
Review: I love Heinlein's early stuff. His later stuff is often preachy with the pacing of molasses in a New England winter. And then there is this.It's the pacing of the early work, with the preaching like quality of the later, and characters I find it hard to believe Heinlein created.None of the characters are really all that believable. They are flat and inconsistant in their behavior. Even the Ayn Rand-esque main protagonist seems poorly thought out and tiresome.The story has many interesting points, and some of the future society ideas are very well done. But the plot that they backdrop is far less interesting. I often wondered where events were coming from. And the ending seemed self-indulgent and disappointing.I love a great deal of RAH's work, but this isn't one of them.
