I'd never read this "classic" SF book before this summer, and I really wasn't missing much. I disliked pretty much everything about this book. Part of the problem was surely my distaste for the religious ideas that the book puts forward, but Heinlein's patronizing attitudes and unengaging writing style didn't help.

Lauri recommended this one, and I'm glad. I feel kind of odd. As much as I dislike the "Gen X" stereotype that has evolved since this book was written, the characters and their opinions really strike a chord with me. I'm going to have to pick this up again in a few months and give it another read.

Tremendously fun children's book. Plays around with Goth stereotypes, but doesn't fall into the trap of predictability. Almost makes me want to have children, just so I can read them books like this.
