I heard many great things about this book, and I must admit, I absolutely love the concept! I listen to the audiobook(specifically the “dramatic reading”) and enjoyed the sound effects and different voiced characters. Unfortunately, the story fell flat for me. Murderbot was just a little too dry.

I listened to the audio book so that I could hear the voice! It took me a while to finish this one because I really wanted to be able to give it my full attention so I can appreciate the humor. It’s ridiculous and incredibly British. I loved it.

I had initially started this book, and only got around 50% through it before stopping. I picked it back up as part of a book club, and I felt decently satisfied by the end. The short story at the beginning was scary and I felt this same sensation toward the end of the book. I became bored at times when the entity would disturb them after returning home. I preferred the moments at the cabin. The “twist” of the deceased brother kind of came out of nowhere for me, and wasn’t my favorite. I am happy, though, that I returned to this book.

I enjoyed this book, but I expected it to be scarier. There was disturbing imagery and suspense for what would happen next.
