Is that the one with all the complicated relationships? I found it a little too detailed on that point, but otherwise a good read. I wouldn’t read it again though. I read Rendezvous With Rama around the same time and liked that a lot more.
It is about a revolution on the moon, and it had some complicated relationships (a very different society where there "clans" and basically open marriages), but I don't it was that bad. My current issue is that I can kind of see through libertarian ethos that permeates the book and at some points it's basically Heinlein pontificating instead of moving the story along... which my younger self enjoyed. Now? not so much.
