I've read a lot of Heinlein's later stuff, but this was the first time I tried any of his juveniles. While it's not one of his finest novels, it was a fun read and an interesting look at an earlier RAH and his take on slavery, wealth, learning and the growth of a young boy. |
I like "Citizen of the Galaxy" a lot.
And there are some interesting bits in the background. Dr Renshaw is the most obvious. He was a real person, and did some interesting work on how to improve learning and perception.
