Heinlein gets quite preachy often, and this one is no exception. I get bored with the benevolent rich guy that seems to know everything and has the moral philosophy that gets libertarians happy in the pants area. It is beyond reasonable for me to believe that a human left with aliens for 20 years could develop the crazy powers described in the book. It was difficult to suspend disbelief and get on with the story. There was pretty sexist and misogynist talk throughout and overall it was just hard to slog through.
It also ends halfway through but then keeps on going for no good reason at all.
