Yes, I remember really enjoying it when I first read it 30+ years ago. But when I revisited Heinlein 10 years ago the only books that got a 4/5 were his shorter space operas. With "Stranger in a Strange Land" I enjoyed the first half, the second half got bogged down with Heinlein's hobby-horses of sex and religion (it makes me wonder what I was thinking 30+ years ago ... then again, maybe it's obvious
).
