It's really more Heinlein in general. Basically, I think the guy wrote
extremely clean and elegant prose, but was otherwise clueless about plot,
characterization, subplots, or any other of the subtleties of writing
novels; particularly characterization. He substitutes his peculiar brand of
"Rah! for us!" didactic crap for virtually all the more complex elements.
