Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - All Systems Red (Dramatized Adaptation): The Murderbot Diaries, Book 1

How can a non-human character be so relatable?!?
It's a short book (a novella), which manages to be a super fun, fast-paced, adventure read, but also sprinkles in some deep questions of personhood.
Absolutely loved reading it, and if I had a list of favorite main characters, Murderbot would be in it.

All Systems Red written by Martha Wells produced by Graphic Audio is the dramatized adaptation of the first book in the Murderbot Diaries series of the same name, All Systems Red. This is the story of an android SecUnit named Murderbot who's hacked their governor module so they can watch their favorite show, or serial. Murderbot wants nothing more than to be left alone but when a mission goes sideways, they have to get involved with the humans they're there to protect.

I enjoyed the original novella, All Systems Red by Martha Wells. It was really interesting and a bit funny, I instantly liked Murderbot. The dramatized adaptation gives each character a voice actor and that adds so much charm to the story and the characters. I really enjoyed the story and the characters, it kind of makes me sad that

Murderbot decided to leave and journey to a new place alone, even though I understand the idea of them wanting to be free and not controlled in any way. I was just growing to like the crew of characters, but I know we'll meet new characters down the line.

Overall, the dramatized adaptation was entertaining, action filled, and funny. I enjoyed the time I spent listening to Murderbot and their crew of specialists. I'm excited to hear about what they get into next. I'm giving it 5 stars out of 5.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5/5 Stars

Can't believe I'm just finding this series. Love the world, love the POV, love the pace - only complaint is the book goes by too fast! Looking forward to devouring the rest of the series.

I love Murderbot. Thank you Emily Axford for the absolutely fantastic recommendation and thank you past Madison for writing it down when she mentioned it. Kevin R. Free does an absolute excellent job at narrating, I would highly recommend the audiobook (it's included on both spotify and audible for free if you have a subscription to either!!)
