Review of 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

It's a very entertaining book. I have enjoyed it a lot. Nevertheless, the paternalism showed to the female characters was really bothering me all the time. I know that is a novel from the 50s, but they are supposed to be living in some kind of matriarchy.

Still deciding what to think about Heinlein

Definitely an interesting book. Not completely sure what I think. That seems to be par for the course for Heinlein in my experience.
