I wasn't going into this book expecting to like it as much as I did. But I should have guessed that I would thoroughly enjoy the hijinks of an antisocial murderbot who doesn't quite understand humans. And just wants to watch tv. Great novel, can't wait to read the rest.

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.

Very fun, has a very strong character voice and a fun premise, though the pacing and plotting fall a little flat. I was reading it digitally and was a little caught off guard that it was a novella, and it felt like the book was caught off guard too since it does end rather abruptly. It's not a work of high art but does have a very fun character exploration that's worth diving into.
