I started reading Tunnel in the Sky recently, and have put it down. Maybe I'll try again, but start skipping forward to a bit that grabs me.
My impressions of the book are that Heinlein writes like a soldier in a war who has never been in a war. He idolizes a mythical American frontier liberalism, that maybe never existed. It feels like a garish pastiche. I wonder if his appeal is particularly American, for those Americans who like that kind of stuff.
