I agree with Urlik on this one...the poll options posed a problem...ended up with the 2nd option though. Part of the problem is the different POVs Heinlein presents him in. When he is first person like in TEFL or Methusalah, etc...I love him...even when I disagree with him...when he is viewed externally like in TNotB he is quite an annoying character, as he is supposed to be...demonstrating the complexity of individuality.

Oh, and to agree with Urlik again...I fear Lazarus would consider me in the waste of oxygen and DNA category. I think that is part of the reason why, even though I really like Lazarus, I prefer Heinlein's somewhat more realistic characters to his "Superhumans".
