Loved it! I thought the language would be hard to get into since it's sci fi and it's been ages since I've read one, but the moment I started reading I knew that I was gonna love it and wouldn't be able to stop until I finished it. Definitely recommend if you want to get into sci fi and don't wanna commit to sm huge, this is just right.

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.

A truely enjoyable quick read. 
Murderbot was an extremely relatable main character, I also would like to spend my whole day watching my favourite shows and don't like people looking at me. The other characters were also good, it's always nice to read about competent characters. And I loved how diverse they were and things like polyamorous marriages were just mentioned in a short sentence, really shows how common they are in this world. 
Even though this short novella didn't focus all to much on the wider world building, there were enough mentions of politics and technology and such to show it really is a fully fledged out setting and I'm looking forward to reading the other books in this series and learning more about it.

A wonderfully adventurous, funny book from the perspective of a security robot that just wants to watch its TV shows and be left alone (relatable). I laughed out loud numerous times as it begrudgingly needed to help and save the humans it's contractually obligated to protect, and how it eventually grew to like some of the humans- and even have a favorite!

Definitely looking forward to more Murderbot diaries!
