The thing about "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" that I had the most issue with would be the dialect used in the story. I find it to be cumbersome and a distraction. The use of "loonie" terminology not based in normal utilization was also cumbersome, as there are still a few words that I'm unsure of how they are supposed to be used and the nuances of them. Like "no huhu". For this reason, on the grand scale of things I'd give "TMIAHM" a 9 out of 10. Regardless of these critiques, I found this book to be a brisk and enjoyable read. Heinlein, it seems, can do no wrong.
