I read the "cut" version in high school about 40 years ago. I didn't recall too much about it except grok, sex and cannibalism.
I'm about 360 pages into this 500 page work, and I've spent much of that time mentally screaming "Get on with it!"
There's too much dialogue before that juicy stuff even begins, and too much talking in between brief periods of good reading. And I'm not finding Heinlein's views of the world, if they are accurately expressed here, very enlightening.
