I've read and listened to this book several times. Each time I feel transported into a weird and bizarre, not to mention, violent world that I still would very much love to visit.

The build up was so slow I almost gave up several times. The "villain" became obvious fairly early. Some good thoughts on science vs religion, and great cultural history. The "Deus ex Machina" of quantum computing was better done than I feared initially. Regarding the narrator, the Spanish was so bad as to be nearly incomprehensible with several outright mistakes.

This story just grabbed me. And how could you just not love Murderbot even if it didn't love you.

I love Cline's books, but this one started slowly for me growing from mildly interesting​ to stunning. And Will Wheaton's narration was just perfect. You can tell he loved reading this book.

Who am I? If (when) I am no longer here, who will remember me?

A spy novel and a philosophical enquiry?

Wonderful?

I enjoyed the premise and the characters. The narrator's voice feels like a hammer in your head after a while. Just. Too. Forceful. All. The. Time. And the story is just too long. Otherwise, we'll written.
