    For being free, this is definitely worth checking out. I wouldn't call it downright amazing, but it's still a good book that's easily worth the read. There isn't much of a plot which was one of my biggest complaints. We do get to look into Mike's life, but unlike most stories, there's really no *point* to any of this. None of the action comes to a climax, and there's really no "problem" throughout the book - which is what makes a book worth reading. It gives you a nice look into an alternate reality, but you'll find yourself wondering if you just wasted your time since there was really no point to reading it. My other complaint is how the human/robot relationship is so closely compared to the current debate about homosexuality. Humans and robots are only allowed to get married in Massachusetts, and I felt it was a little insulting since homosexuals are both human while robot/human is obviously a robot. However, that might be where technology takes us, so it wasn't bad. I just felt it was a bit insulting. The writing was a bit choppy as well. It wasn't as fluid as you'd expect from heavily editted writing, but it was still nicely edited - it just didn't flow as well as I'd expect. Again, though, for being free, my complaints are minor. I'd be more upset about the lack of a plot if I'd paid for it, but since I haven't, I did find myself enjoying the alternative sci-fi reality that Allison presented. If you have some free time on your hands and wonder about the future of "sex robots", it's easily worth the read.

    Wives In Service ended up being a really interesting book. The author wanted to take in another manner from being the "traditional" romance story. It definitely ended up that way. Since no one has really given a good "summary" of the book, I figure I should: This book is made up of three separate short stories. Each one easily takes about fifteen or twenty minutes to read all the way through. "The Baby Machine" is about a young woman who believes, above everything else, that her only purpose in life is give birth to babies. The entire story is about her life and how it all ended up. "The Man in the Middle" is about a man who's ex-wife starts e-mailing him, wanting him back. The man chooses to be the "go-between" with the ex-wife and her husband - emailing both of them pretending to be the other in promise that, if she follows his instructions, he'll consider taking her back. "The Conjugal Clock" (which was easily (and by far) my favorite) is about a recently married couple who finds that, in order to stay a member of her new family, she must obey a "sex clock". The story includes its rules and its punishments, and while there isn't really a "climax" to the story, it's still an amazing story. I was impressed that all three stories are really unique. Really. There's no way you've read any type of erotica that in any way resembles these plots. The plots are neat, and while not too explicit, they are all easily worth the read for the free price tag. Really, there's no reason NOT to pick this one up.
