I loved Starship Troopers, and the Verhoeven film seemed little to do with the book, with the exception of the title and the character names.

I think it safe to say that Time Enough For Love would not be considered one of Heinlien's juvies.
Not so oddly, Time Enough For Love was the last Heinlien book (chronologically) that I read. He was just going off in a direction that I didn't care for. I did like his stuff up through the 60's, though I wasn't a huge fan of Stranger in a Strange Land.
