Oh, God, this. Heinlein was always a real hit-and-miss, and that book missed for me in ways that can't be mathematically described (not even with the Stock Heinlein Character's Constant Slide-Rule of Heroism. A slide-rule in the future, Heinlein? Really? I had to ask my dad what they were.). My dad gave me his old Heinlein books when I was a kid, and Stranger in a Strange Land was almost as bad as Podkayne of Mars.
