I’ve always been a massive fan of the sci-fi genre so when I came across this book I was intrigued enough to buy it. Having now read it I feel it offers an intriguing insight into the relationship between man and machine. It has more to it than just fast paced action, there are many more layers that added together create a fascinating and engaging story.The writing style the author used ensured that I could vividly imagine every scene and event as it unfolded. As we follow the escapades of Etienne and the robot you begin to be drawn in to their relationship and the course of their journey. The fact that Etienne was such a well-rounded and believable character certainly helped me to invest in both him and the overall story more. It’s always challenging to maintain the excitement throughout a book but this one is an exception to the norm, there were no lulls and the author must be commended for that.Personally I feel that this book would appeal to many people. Of course sci-fi enthusiasts like myself are going to be interested but due to the overall depth of the story and characters I can see a wider range of people being drawn into it. This gets two big thumbs up from me, highly recommended!
