Heinlein sure knows how to write a good story, even if his female characters are always bi-curious sex maniacs in favor of free love with multiple partners.  For an artificial person, Friday seems pretty damn human.  I liked the mystery in the plot and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15951877">more...</a>]]></body>
