what a fun little read
it's hard to pull off a sardonic robot protagonist, and I think this did it

The series is about an artificial construct designed as a Security Unit, which manages to override its governor unit, thus enabling it to develop independence. It calls itself Murderbot, and likes to watch unrealistic soap operas. As it spends more time with some caring humans, it starts developing feelings that it does not care for.

Fun short novel with a strong voice
4 stars
It's a short novel so I can't expect much in character development outside of the main one, but that is my one critique: I'd like to know more about the other members of the crew and their situations.
But overall it was a fun listen; engaging, interesting, suspenseful.
good

This was nice. Extremely pulp, but managed to get at some larger ideas.

I haven't been so compelled to read since a teenager. Murderbot sucked me in completely.
