tl;dr: People that only read Starship Troopers and google "Heinlein" quotes miss out on nuance. If you want to have your mind blown read the un-edited Podkayne of Mars stuff.

Hmmm..., not sure if I read an edited version of Podkayne of Mars.

My favourite was Have Spacesuit, Will Travel.

This is one huge group of nerds. I must include myself here, I read a ton of his stuff around Middle School age (Didn't go to Middle School, because there was no such thing where I grew up, it was Elementary then Secondary) . I loved the early stuff, and enjoyed it less the newer it got until I quit reading his new stuff when I was around 13. That Mars stuff was great though.

Yeah, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls and Time Enough For Love were where RH jumped the shark. Loooong books where he indulged himself. The incest stuff was a bit of an odd theme.

Have Spacesuit, Will Travel is great.

In the original ending Podkayne dies b/c the other kid messes up.
