I recently read this and really enjoyed it. The style was a little disconcerting when I first started it, but it was an interesting idea to have a narrator that had a slightly unusual way of speaking/writing. And like anything, you don't really notice the words like 'the' until it's suddenly taken away!

I'm reading The Cat Who Walks Through Walls at the moment and it's nice to return to some of the characters that we met in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Although I am enjoying The Cat Who... (and haven't quite reached the end yet) I think I prefer The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Man is a thorough narrator, explaining all the details of their Revolution, and it was a really interesting read.
