By criticizing Heinlein you're going to open up such a can of worms!
But to answer your question, I understand Heinlein's literature to 
be excellent reading for teenagers.  His characters are very easily
related to by adolescents because of the feelings of loneliness
suffered by them and the "coming of age" that he usually has them go
through.  He lately has been trying to write to a more mature audience
but I think he is just wasting his time.  His older stories are by far
the better.  
	Enough of that.  My favorite story of Heinlein's is Starship
Troopers.  Also excellent reading is Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Nuff said.
