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

First fiction audiobook I’ve listened to where I enjoyed the narration from start to finish. Books that include genuinely funny characters/scenes throughout the story always rank highly on my rating system.

Murderbot is a an unintentionally funny, sentient android (part human clone/ part robot) with AI like capabilities thank to a glitch in his software. He’s very relatable, and I enjoyed listening to his thoughts and seeing how he views the world through his lens.

And knowing how the book ends, has made me want to pick up the next instalment in the series and follow his journey.

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.

The ending felt a bit weaker somehow but the story gripped me quite well...goes to show that best stories don't need be 500+ pages long. Lolz
Murderbot is somewhat one of us, seen through the lens of a "construct" character, with some glitchy (metal health) limitations like social anxiety, past trauma, lingering connections, social introvert but media extrovert...come on now, at least for me, relatability was off the roofs! Lol
It's clever and smart with its world building and teamwork aesthetics but above all that, it's a masterpiece into exploring strong empathetic characters in such short tale! Ofc somethings felt a bit hindered by the shortness of the text but maybe that's just my bias to know Murderbot better...guess further books will be consumed with the same inspiration! Thanks for the brilliant story Wells 🤗🙏💙
