All Systems Red

On the first page, I had a thought that I didn't think this was for me ... and then when I got up to make dinner, somehow I was halfway through the book? And now I'm waiting to get the second one from the library? I am not a sci-fi gal, but if you strip away the whole being-on-another-planet-with-humanoid-robots thing, it's a familiar story of a group of people just trying to do their work and escape another group that wants them dead. And the narrator is a semi-organic unit that just wants to watch TV and be left alone, and who refers to itself as Murderbot, and also has some thoughts about whether humanoids deserve autonomy in the wider world.

I'm not doing a good job of selling it. I enjoyed it, and to be honest I was feeling real bummed about the fact that I'd gotten halfway way through February before finishing a single flippin book, so the fact that I finished All Systems Red in two days was a bonus.
