I love his juveniles. Some of that is nostalgia, I read them when I was eleven... and some is that I just enjoy SF in the grand old tradition.

Puppet Masters was good. Moon is a Harsh Mistress is my favorite.

I know I've said it before...but I didn't like Rocketship Galileo...didn't think it was well written.

I DID like "Time for the Stars", though I still found it more technical than I like. Which is why I don't really care for his adult books...too many technical details...pages and pages and pages of 'em.

I dumb, I guess. But I find that stuff tedious.

But then, I don't have the nostalgia for these that you do. I didn't read much science fiction, really. L'Engle, for SURE, and some much more fantastic science fiction books like "The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet", but very little "serious" science fiction.

Me, too. My favorite SF authors are all Heinlein or earlier, with a couple exceptions. What else of his would you recommend besides Moon is a Harsh Mistress?
