This was a fun quirky read that was super different from the other books from the author. I loved hanging out with Charles during all his journeys.
Very cerebral with dry humor. Bleak setting with a naive protagonist. I'm a sucker for a 'robot finds God' story.

I enjoyed this book very much.
This was my first title by Tchaikovsky, though I have been wanting to try this author for a while. The characters were interesting and complex, the pacing good, and the dialogue witty.
There was a similarity in feeling to the Monk & Robot books from Chambers, which I appreciate; although, this book was more exciting, with medium peril. The plotting was good, the story complete, and the denouement satisfying.
Great book!
ETA: my second time through this book, I listened to the audiobook version from Macmillan audio and it was fantastic! Tchaikovsky reads the book himself and his accent is perfect and his diction is sublime. His voice is perfect for the main character. An excellent audiobook experience!
