Why is this book so praised? I like other Heinlein novels but this is so mediocre. When /lit/ criticizes about the writing style of golden-age science fiction authors I imagine this would be a prime example.

I'm about 100 pages in right now, and it's a nit of a slog. They don't focus on The Man from Mars at all, which is a shame, because when they do I like it.

Heinlein is no great stylist. If you read his books for anything other than the plot you're doing it wrong.
