Space Cadet by Robert A. HeinleinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First, the bits that didn't impress me, in no particular order:
Heinlein's attitude towards women.
The science that he couldn't have gotten right because so little was known. (For example, inhabitants and human colonies on Venus.)
As expected in a science fiction book, "iffy" theology.
On the Whole, Though I enjoyed this book now as I did when I was 12. The "geewhiz" factor as Matt Dodson goes to space the first time still resonates. I wanted to be a part of Space Patrol then, and I still wish it was a possibility.
