The cover grabbed my attention and early reviews have made me take notice. Also read a nice interview with the author over on My Bookish Ways, I believe, that made me want to read her work even more.<br /><br />I "read" The Rolling Stones a few years back with the unabridged full cast audio and it was a delight. It was very well done and was steeped in nostalgia. I've enjoyed all the Heinlein juveniles I've read thus far. I have been pleasantly surprised that while the characters do tend to follow gender roles, in novels like this he also has moments where the female characters are strong and step beyond those old gender expectations.
