I would die for Murderbot (ok, an exaggeration, but he is a very lovable protagonist, and VERY relatable).
Really quick paced, great interactions - my only gripe and the reason for the dropped star would be that I would have liked a bit more description.
Will definitely be reading the rest of these novellas.

I rate this a 3.5. This was recommend to me by many people so I had high expectations. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this when I started but it turned out to be a really good read. The POV is “Murderbot” who is a half human half robot. It's a really interesting POV and I enjoyed seeing his prospective. I am looking forward to reading the next in the serious to see where the story goes.

Se me ha hecho increíblemente aburrido. Lento y los diálogos y personajes nada interesantes.
Más de dos semanas para leer poco más de 100 páginas. Supongo que no era para mí.

An interesting read with an unique voice telling it's story. It went through at a nice pace. The story set-up a nice little mystery but the pay-off was a bit underwhelming. Overall good and I'm curious about the next one but I think I expected something more powerful

A security robot hired to help an exploratory team on another planet hacked itself to be self-aware. Calling itself Murderbot, we watch as it struggles with existential dread and decides whether it really cares about the humans it's supposed to protect.
I haven't figured it out yet, but for some reason Murderbot presents as female in my mind. This was probably on purpose - you can easily project yourself into the character because it's so ambiguous.
This was a very fun, quick novella.

I have a feeling that I am going to love this series. Short and sweet but a continuation series. Sci-fi makes me happy so I’m excited to see where this series takes me.
