I loved the novella and really appreciate this full cast dramatized adaptation. If you enjoy audio plays more than audiobooks, I highly recommend this one. I also have the audiobooks of the series, but liked this version much more!

I wasn't going into this book expecting to like it as much as I did. But I should have guessed that I would thoroughly enjoy the hijinks of an antisocial murderbot who doesn't quite understand humans. And just wants to watch tv. Great novel, can't wait to read the rest.

4.5

WOW I LOVED THIS! one of my goals this year is to venture outside of my comfort in the romance genre and only reading books that have a romance plot/subplot, and this was my first of the year. this series came highly recommended by two of my online friends, and they did not miss!! i truly loved this and immediately went and put the rest of the series on hold at my library. the narrator did such a great job & i really like being in murderbot's head. i'm looking forward to continuing this series & seeing where murderbot goes from here.
