I was catatonic after finishing this. I loved it, but this absolutely tore me to pieces. The writing is phenomenal and visceral. From page 1, I was invested in the characters, in the family. Please please check trigger warnings before reading this. I don’t know if anyone can be emotionally prepared for this book.

Murderbot is one of the funniest, most real characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to read about.

One of the best books I read all year. The only reason I didn’t finish it in 3 days was because I was reading this with a friend and didn’t want to get too far ahead. This story was written in such a unique way, I was hooked from the beginning. The plot was amazing. Highly recommend, just check trigger warnings first because some parts are dark.

Attenborough, you’ve done it again. Quality education paired with an incredible voice for narration.
