meredith_i 's review for:

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
DID NOT FINISH

DNF after the first chapter because the author is (presumably) going to ask me to become emotionally attached to a character that is a robot, but in the opening scene he destroys a whole boatload of robots (and, presumably, humans) that I could also have become attached to. 
Kids' book or not, I don't trust an author who treats this like no big deal. 
Plus, why are you gendering a robot? I read a review where this was explained, and I stand by my Ick.
