I read this book for a university course and I loved it. There is a reason this is still a classic and read the world over.

This review comes from a second reading (finished on 8.3.13). I was blown away by the sci-fi in this the first time, and I can see why (Heinlein anticipates the Internet, modern news coverage, etc., with pretty stunning accuracy). If you do read it, read it for that. What does not hold up well are his attitudes about sex and gender. Friday, the main character, is female, and that's where this book really breaks down in a number of places. It was just too obvious the writer was male, and very much a white, heterosexual male. Heinlein seems to think that once we get rid of the problems of STDs and unwanted pregnancy, sex will simply be a pleasure humans will engage in freely without hesitation. He envisions polygamous communal marriages, etc. What he actually ends up doing is telling me much more about his own sexual hang-ups than he probably intended to. There is a rape in this book I could have skipped, and I wish he had.

As a foreword to this book, Grafton elaborates on the fact that Kinsey never leaves the 80's. I liked that she did this, since it seemed odd to me (at times), but understandable. It is her prerogative. This installment allows us a peek into Kinsey's life before we met her, when she was still a police officer and married the first time. In many ways, I think this was one of the best to date. I really had no idea where it was going to lead. I do have to say, I enjoyed the journey. For once, Kinsey isn't maimed in some way. Up until now, she's been shot, beaten, and had her home blown up. It was nice for her to escape this one physically unharmed. For the past 14 years, Kinsey hasn't thought much of her ex, Mickey. However, a man contacts her with a box full of items belonging to Kinsey - diplomas, old report cards and school projects. He buys storage locker contents (Storage Wars, anyone?) and then sells what he can for profit. He had sold most of the locker by the time he contacts Kinsey and wants her to pay him for his troubles. That one box begins a quest to find out why the owner defaulted on paying his rental fees. It was fun to follow Kinsey in her walk down memory lane. We often don't get all that much information about her, even when she gives it freely. Throughout this book, we get a glimpse into what her circle of acquaintances were like 14 years ago. The only problem I had with this portion of the book is the fact Santa Teresa's supposedly a small town. Yet, in some way, Kinsey hasn't ran into any of these people in over 14 years. Obviously, what I consider a small town and what the author considers a small town differ quite a bit. I can guarantee if I were living where I grew up (which is how I imagine Santa Teresa), it'd be fairly hard to not see people for 14 years - you'd really have to try. Anyway, I really liked O is for Outlaw, and felt this was a very good stand alone installment. There wasn't a lot of mention of past cases, so I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Some of the previous books would reference something that had happened before, so you felt like a big portion of information was left out if you hadn't read in sequence.
I realize this is a classic of English literature, but I could never get past the fact that none of the characters were likable, or showed any signs of change or redemption. It was just multi-generational misery. The one upside I had was getting to visit the moors where Wuthering Heights was written while reading the book. It's a very dramatic, brooding landscape... and made it easier to see why Emily Bronte would reflect those same themes in her writing. Still wasn't enough to win me over to the book, though.
