The thing that I found most annoying about FRIDAY was that it seemed as
thought Heinlein had an idea for a novel, and wrote it, but he couldn't
end the story well. Then he remembered this little short story idea that
he couldn't sell (for good reason) so he changed the short story around
a bit and made it into the ending for the novel. 

I am not saying that this was how it really happened, just that this is
how I imagined it happening after reading the book! Did anyone else
notice the huge discontinuity?

PS I thought TNotB was an interesting change of pace and a fun read,
though hardly worth the attention it has been getting lately.
