There are some books that never leave you and this is one of them. Reflecting on it now, I'm not sure that I grok it fully yet and I will reread it in the future, no doubt, and review it again better.
In this book, Heinlein presents beautifully rounded characters and a unique perspective on what it means to be human. I think my favourite thing that is discovered about humans by Michael the Martian is that we laugh because we are in pain.
Admittedly, the ending is a bit strange. The formation of a church and the existence of a martyr always make for an interesting series of events.
I rate this book 10 out of 10. It's really a superb read. I highly recommend it to everyone, though age should be taken into account due to some of the graphic nature of the novel.
