Yes, it was. I got my copy autographed by Robert Heinlein the night it won the Hugo. An editor had invited several writers, including the two of us, to sit at his table during dinner and the ceremonies.

As for the movie, they took the title, and some of the characters, and made a whole new story out of it. I was really disappointed.
