I like his juveniles a lot better than some of his later stuff, which just got a bit too weird for me. (I actually loved the first part of
Stranger in a Strange Land then it got so weird in the second part I had to force myself to finish it.) I read them first as an adult, but still enjoyed them a lot. I suspect I would have adored them as a teen or preteen.
I haven't tried any of Smith's stuff yet, and haven't been in a mood to read much lately or I'd give this a try and let you know how it works for me as an adult.
I may still try to, and report back if I manage to finish it. (I've been stopping partway through stuff I
like even, I just really don't feel like reading for some reason. It'll go away eventually and I'll probably read twice as much to make up for it.) I'm pretty sure I'll like it, I really enjoy the more pulpy writing from scifi's golden age.
