The main character Murderbot is very interesting. It took a while to get into the book, but after 10%, I got hooked.
The story moves quickly. It is action packed mystery and adventure. I like Murderbot and would like to know what it is going to do next.

It's good with an interesting main character in Murderbot, but I think expected more after all the hype surrounding it.
I felt I could neither invest in the story or the characters. The characters beyond Murderbot and Mensa were rather thin and seemed mostly there to flesh out the crew. As for the story, the plot was fine, but I would've liked for a larger book for the story to unravel slowly. For me to invest and wonder and follow the characters as they are waylaid here or there and I won't know if they'll make it.
I guess this book simply left me with a real "meh" feeling.

Short and fun novella that features an asexual robot with social anxiety who loves binge watching tv dramas (murderbot and I will be great friends)
Also, the Kevin R. Free audiobook is better than the graphicaudio
