If you like good sci-fi, then you definitely should add it to your repertoire. Heinlein was a genius. The book can be a bit of a challenge to lesser readers, as he uses a jargon and lingo of what a moon colony might sound like after a few decades of isolation and criminals being sent there from a wide background of different countries and languages to meld into a new language, but you'll soon get the hang of it.
And along with the Earth's own computer being hijacked to help bring about an independence revolution, wait until you see what the moon colonists use as their major weapon to threaten Earth... it's brilliant!
Sounds like a book I need to read. Thanks.

I love Heinlein. I read others from him.
I think "Stranger In A Strange Land" was my favorite Heinlein, but "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" it up there next to it.
