Such a fun little read, for a sci-fi book it is surprisingly easy to get into. I love the main character, I love him even more because we're in his head. I love his sarcasm, his binge-watching "addiction" and the way he doesn't care about anything or anyone. Somehow he feels more human than the actual humans in the story.

I'm not really a fan of the plot, though. The conflict came as quickly as it was solved, there's no tension or anything.

I don't feel that the cast, apart from the Murderbot, is developed very well, I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the crew.

Still, I think I'll continue the series.
