kittiwakeI don't think I've read anything by Heinlein since "Time Enough For Love" (the story of Lazarus Long, who also appears in the latter part of this book), which I think I read when I was still at school and much less critical than I am nowadays.
Richard Ames, aka Colin Campbell is the most irritating protagonist I've come across since I read "Headlong" by Michael Frayn! He is arrogant and condescending, speaks in an arch and mannered way, and practically every woman he meets wants to marry him, even though he keeps going on about wanting to spank their pink bottoms. Grrr!
