I agree...I didn't discover Heinlein's juvies until I was in my late 20s...always passed right by them on library shelves when I was a kid.

You can tell they were written in the great heyday of "We're going to go to the Moon and have flying cars and robots and stuff and the future's going to be AWESOME...as long as we don't nuke ourselves back to the Stone Age. Duck and cover!"

Great stuff.

As for his older work...just not my cup of tea.
