Helpful Score: 5
I KNOW I read this book when it was hot off the presses!! I can remember the brown cover, and I read it shortly after (before?) reading NUMBER OF THE BEAST. But this time round, every word was new to me!
FRIDAY is a sort of 'coming-of-age' novel, about a young woman who isn't quite what she seems, and how she comes to terms with her status in society. Of course, it wouldn't be Heinlein without political essays, highly probable inventions, cosmology, and LOTS of free love. Other than that, there really wasn't much of a plot. I was reminded of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. As Friday wandered from one vignette to the next, she seemed to come away with just a little more knowledge, and another lover or two. I would have to rate it below his earlier novels, but still worth reading.
