I love Murderbot.
This is the sweetest and funniest book about a killer robot you’re likely to ever find. It’s got a bit of everything in such a short book.
I can’t wait to read the next one. Nothing like a TV watching introverted death robot.
In addition to being an interesting look at what it means to be human, it’s an interesting look at gender. I admit, I projected a bit of female onto it, and it’s interesting to look at why. Mostly because if I was going to ship anybody it would be Murderbo ...more

This review is specifically for the Graphic Audio version.
WOW. This is really REALLY good. Let's add another really to that previous statement. The main narrator / voce actor (David Cui Cui) is stellar in this. The audio production itself is good.
