Friday Audiobook

" Very well written and entertaining. "

" One of my favorite novels. Heinlein casually tosses in more sci-fi ideas in the opening scene than many authors do in an entire novel but they are just background settings for the central story. "

" Heinlen was the reason I relished sci-fi.And for the 80's he was a kinky writer.This is one that I reread through the years.It doesn't wander off into techno babble and makes you love the character.Well worth the time. "

" It's not a great book, but it's a really engaging book, and one of the first female superhero sci fi books i ever read, so it has a place in my heart forever. "

" Not his best work by far, but I'm determined to read everything he's published. "

" An entertaining futuristic spy story, not on par with Stranger... but a fun read nonetheless. "

" I'm not a huge Heinlein reader, but this book has stuck with me for years. Excellent science fiction. "

" Friday was the first Heinlein novel I read. Late period Heinlein tended to be long on softcore sexual tease and it is far from his best work, but it did lead me to seek out his better novels such as Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. "

" Now this I could not finish. Sexist is not the least of it. I swear he must have been getting a bit brain damaged too. "

" I enjoy any book that exhibits can do attitude. Cudos to Robert for at least attempting to consider main characters from the woman's perspective. "

" I expected something similar to Stranger in a Strange Land (the only other Heinlein book I've read), and I got it. Friday has the introspection and philosphizing one expects from the 20th century's best science fiction authors, with an engaging plot and good characters to go with it. "

" A beach SF novel; I can sense the aftertones of Stranger, but there seems to be a failing of the heroine. The last section portrays the end of her story as motherhood. All in all, she is too willing to give up her adventure and replace it with a family. "

" Good read but not one of heinlein's best. "

" One of my all time favorites that I re-read every few years. Great escape. "

" This book was so innovative that I could not stop reading it. Seeing the future as Robert A. Heinlein see it is sometimes scary. "

" Parts were very very good, but some if it dragged. Still, read it if you get a chance. "

" A fun romp with a female heroine. One of the best features is Heinlein's satire of California politics, where everything is put to referendum. "

" I'm usually a Heinlein fan, but I just couldn't make it through this one. I think the action was a bit too slow for my tastes, and I really am sad to say that since I consider some of Heinlein's other works to be life-changers for me. "

" The golden rule for Heinlein books: if they're thick, they're boring. If they're thin, they're good. "

" Friday rocks! "

" It was okay. Not his greatest work, and frankly the people are more than a little wooden. "

" feminists say this is a terrible book. i disagree. mostly because what can be interpreted as some kind of sex-slave/misguided female future seems to me to be instead a cyborg manifesto. call me crazy...i won't mind. "

" One of my favorite sci-fi books of all times. I really can't pinpoint why, except that Friday reminds me of me. I read my Heinlein over and over and over again...until the covers fall off! "

" I've read,and enjoyed, this at least twice, and for the life of me I can't remember if Friday was 'respected.' She was strong, and interesting, etc. - but would a sensitive feminist be comfortable reading her story as told by Heinlein? "

" Always wanted to be her, secretly. Hehehe. "

" The golden rule for Heinlein books: if they're thick, they're boring. If they're thin, they're good. "

" Typical 'late Heinlein'. In other words, a platform for some kooky ideas for unlikely political, financial and sexual arrangements. I wonder if Mrs. Heinlein ever read any of this stuff.<br/>In spite of it all, I retain a soft spot for this stuff. I kind of enjoyed this. "

" Not my favorite. But I think anything of Heinlein should be read. "

" Twice I tried to get through this book, and twice it becomes so boring that I completely lost interest in it. How can something written by a pioneer of sci-fi be so droll? For the answer, check out Friday. "

" Well, I first bought the book when I was 15 because of the cover. Wow, what a great cover...<br/><br/>Anyway, the book was well written, smart and action-packed. Lots of stuff to think about, including and especially Heinlein's unusual views on sex and sexuality. "
