All Systems Red

weish shared a tip "All hail Murderbot! No, seriously, though. Very approachable and readable book about a Security Bot who, despite not needing to follow orders anymore, decides to continue the charade of taking security contracts (while binge watching shows). Quick and entertaining read."

maren_l_3251 shared a tip "While I am an avid re-reader, I usually try and wait at least two years between revisits so the story stays semi-fresh. The Murderbot Diaries, however, is just too dang good and I typically only last a year between rereads and have read the series 3 times already!"

dunecello shared a tip "Social anxiety, asexuality, pessimism and indifference, internal remarks about the stupidity of humans, wanting to be left alone to just consume TV shows and books all day. Wow. Murderbot speaks to me on another level."

e.raser.shavings shared a tip "Definitely recommend the audiobook narrated by Kevin Arfree. I think if I started talking about why I love this book I would talk longer than it takes to read it"

michelle_jun shared a tip "This book is very short. You can probably finish in one sitting. The only problem is that all the books in this series are expensive, in comparison to the length of the books."

MonnieBiloney shared a tip "I enjoyed this book, and really like the concept. It had a couple of good jokes, but didn't really stand out of the crowed. HOWEVER the books that follow change this immensely. I personally think Book 1 and 2 should have been released as 1 book (as they are novilias) as All Systems Are feels more like, setting the setting then a story on its own, especially since books 3 and 4 continues the conflict of book 1 w"

christian_johnson_4750 shared a tip "Just have to say, I love this book. The character of Murderbot is so fun refreshing. It's (her?) Anxiety is so relatable. The plot is fine, not super unique but I couldn't put it down because of how attached to the main character I was"

emily_b_8139 shared a tip "A good book for a low commitment, low involvement read. A lot isn’t explained, though, and given the cost of each book, this doesn’t make me want to read more."

jeffinghammer_- shared a tip "Short, but so, so awesome. Wells did a great job, limiting what she portrayed in both get character and world (universe) helped make both feel completely fleshed out. The series doesn't let down either (I'm 3 or 4 in)."

sarah_muncy_2789 shared a tip "She’s created a million dollar franchise, if someone is smart enough to adapt it to a series. Great writing, fast paced but we get very attached to our characters. Also, I don’t know if it’s intentional, but its very gender neutral which is refreshing."

nikko_pacheco shared a tip "In a world and time as this let murderbot give you a smile. It’s a super short read but one with such heart that you can’t help but forget the barista forgot it was two shoots of espresso instead of one. Or that your boss asked you for the same assignment you turned in last week. It’s a book that will give you joy when you feel lost. This book gives me hope for our future. Also the quotes let’s just say my friends laugh even if they haven’t read this great book. Now please pardon me whilst I find where I left my car keys.#laugh#science_fiction#fantasy"

jody_waltzer shared a tip "Anything by Charles Stross (intelligent sci-fi with humor and adventure), Anything by Laurie R. King (intelligent mystery and adventure with a bit of historical fiction). I also recently liked the Ten Thousand Doors of January. So many books, never enough time :)"

ash.eliz19 shared a tip "This one is the first! It's followed by Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, Exit Strategy, Network Effect (I think this one might be a stand-alone novel though) and Fugitive Telemetry. I've only read up to Exit Strategy but I remember really enjoying it :)"

marie_drama_llama shared a tip "Beginning of a simple bot, that was just doing it's job, until it wasn't. Beginning kinda slow, but addictive after the first book. Very entertaining book from a unique perspective."

kaitlin_rayburn_7050 shared a tip "This series has fed my soul in a way I hadn't expected. I've eaten up every book I've read - listened to actually. I adore it and every book Martha Wells has written in his series."
