17 August, 2001: Citizen of the Galaxy
Citizen of the Galaxy was the second book that I read while trying to fall asleep at my parents' house. I'm admirer of Heinlein's yarn-spinning talents, and Citizen reminded me why that is; it's one of Heinlein's better juveniles, I think, and parts of it -- the Free Traders and the Rudbek of Rudbek bits are quite well done and kept me reading, even though I knew the outcome and was gnashing my teeth. But I'm not a huge Heinlein fan, and this book reminded me of that, as well.
