Double Star by Robert A. Heinlein
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I think I preferred this the first time around. As a re-read, I'm struck by how many others have performed this same trick by now.

You know, the exalted actor is hired to take on the role of a politician, winds up doing a much better job at it than the original politician?

Even so, there's nothing wrong with this novel. It's Heinlein, after all, and has a lot of wry humor, irreverent attitudes to politicians in general, and a healthy dose of clever SF and cultural commentary.

Plenty about this is relevant today, of course, but it does feel a bit old.

Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
