It was so cheesey that it was funny which then equals good in my book. I also read Heinlein’s book – I had to write a paper, an author study in my Science Fiction class.

There’s a large part of me that appreciates what Heinlein did, for science fiction and (more importantly to me) for women. Uh, can we say Girl Friday? Yay! **But** I’ve never really been a huge fan because his characters tended to be flat. I wanted more character development.
