Murderbot is a really compelling character. The story was a little thin, but it served mostly to introduce the character.
Murderbot's clearly depressed and has social anxiety, but deals with it the best they can. I loved the ending, but wonder if we'll see the Preservation crew again.
Freedom is a pure idea. It arises spontaneously, without instruction.
En un tiempo donde los libros son principalmente sagas infinitas con manuscritos de miles de páginas, resulta chocante darte cuenta que se puede desarrollar una historia en el equivalente a dos capítulos. Además es ágil y rápido. Fresco y agradable.
it's hard to pull off a sardonic robot protagonist, and I think this did it
Content warning Vague spoilers involving Murderbot's character arc.
I loved the funny, witty inner voice of Murderbot, and I also love that it chose the name based on the coolness factor and not because it actually likes to murder. My mom has been bugging me to read this book for years, and I'm so glad I finally listened and read the first installment. I love how Murderbot grew to trust and care about the humans they were reporting to. 10/10, can't wait to read the next one.
Murderbot has hacked himself out of main control.
The idea of an android, part bot with lingering organics, gives rise to ideas of a machine that sometimes feels human, a very introverted and relatable human; with its increasing independency situations develop more unexpectedly than what I anticipated, and that kept me reading the whole book almost in one sitting.
The secondary characters add enough depth to the story and help the development of Murderbot throughout it, queer characters are also a welcomed presence.
It was a very fun and fast read 😁
It’s rare to find a compelling sci-fi book that also has a hefty helping of humor and sarcasm baked into its tone. I will definitely be reading more of this series.
A socially awkward, traumatized by PTSD, has executive dysfunction, and just wants to be free and watch entertainment streams ... Murderbot is very relatable.
I haven't been so compelled to read since a teenager. Murderbot sucked me in completely.
