One day I'll actually read the book so I can see what Heinlein was really intending with the story.

I read the book in three days last year. I found it very easy to read, like most Heinlein, and I also disagreed with almost all of it, like most Heinlein.
I don't honestly know if I'd rate the book or the movie higher. They're both quite different, and flawed in different ways, but I guess the book is important in a way that the movie isn't. A lot of other books are reacting to it.
