I thought I had read this before but I don't think I have.
Much of the early part is interesting as we discover what is happening.
But the ending is kind of abrupt and violent.
There are no women in most of the book and they are treated very badly when they finally appear.
So I would only recommend this to Heinlein completists and even they should have low expectations.
Decent. Felt a little like it was written for young adults. I like the generation ship losing its understanding of the technology trope. Some of the book was bit weird. Just missed the mark for me.
