If you're going to refer to a man's penis as a “tool” during one of the many sex scenes, or mention him ejaculating pretty much straight into her “womb”, at least go all out and give readers the super-drama of her winding up pregnant. What a missed opportunity.
To me this book is straight up rape. If you're kidnapped, blackmailed, guilted, or coerced into any kind of sex act it's rape. It's ok though, the big bad motorcycle gang member with a huge dick is super hot so that makes it all alright. eyeroll
I'm surprised this book is rated so highly. Why???

I've got such a jumble in my head about this book and I can't really put it in any decent order. So I'm just going to wordvomit a little bit.
If the Mad Max, Terminator, Matrix movies, and Waterworld (without the water) had a baby it would be this.
I need this to be its own movie. Maybe a miniseries because there's a lot going on here.
Holy shit I love good robot scifi.
Why hasn't a Goodreads librarian changed the synopsis to show that Brittle thinks of herself as a female robot?
Would robots really care about gender once humans are extinct? Was it just programming and voiceboxes that had them holding onto gender? I know Cargill tried to explain this but I still think robots might have thrown off human genders. It's a social construct they have no need for. Humans are people but robots are persons so why not a distinct robot pronoun?
I wonder if there's going to be a sequel to this. It wasn't a cliffhanger but it was still pretty open ended. What happened to Brittle was cool. What happened to Mercer was not cool. If there's a sequel we'd better see him again.

This was a 3.5 review worth rounding up. It would have been higher but one character was so annoying I actually wanted them to be eaten or slapped.All around interesting and solid dinosaur scifi thriller with a decent attempt at science. At 45% of the way through I had to stop and rewatch the movie, which is incidentally about where the book starts to differ quite a bit. It's probably sacrilegious but I think the movie was better. I could rewatch the movie over and over; once was enough for the book.The acknowledgements mention [a:Robert T. Bakker 68286 Robert T.

I totally forgot why I marked this with my catch-all disability shelf and had to look up if I'd made a shelving error. I didn't, as revealed in the prologue. I'll mark my reminder to myself with a spoiler in case anyone reading this hasn't seen the show and wants to go into this book cold. Simon's speech development was delayed and he had a stutter he worked to overcome.
Maybe I need a new guilty-pleasure shelf because I think I liked this more than I should have. Or maybe so-bad-it's-good. It's steamy, or the new phrase spicy, and so is the show.
