The concept incredibly original and I loved that. I just wished that more characters had been more fleshed out. I wanted to know why Oscar's family were the way that they are, but that's never really explained. They just seem to hate robots and androids for really no discernible reason. The story itself feels fluffy and light-hearted until like, the last 1/4 of the book and then it got very serious. It felt very zero to sixty because I wasn't anticipating it getting that serious.
