I can see why this series is so well-loved! I listened to the audiobook and would recommend it for anyone who can. The snark and dry delivery of the murderbot lines really helped pull me into the story and who this character is and how they think.

I cannot believe this lived up to the hype. Will definitely continue with the series; I've been recommending it to some friends of mine who don't really read anymore but loved Mass Effect. Took off half a star because the way the climax shook out annoyed me a little.
