There's something about a story that takes our hopes, fears and love of entertainment that is a sure-fire win for me. DESTROY ALL ROBOTS is that kind of story. Set in the not so distant future, it is an amazing read by author Darrin Grimwood that allows us to see what happens when greed and fear of failure settle in like a disease, threatening to destroy everything we know.For those who love the reality show genre you will be drawn into the premise of the book, but there are so many layers to the story that I think there is a little something for everyone. Our main character Toby Badernoch wants the prize associated with the show, but not for the reason others might be attracted to it. His being a part of the game is not just a matter of life and death but what might be seen as a betrayal for his mother---something that he doesn't do lightly.In the end this story gives us a look at what mankind will do to protect itself, and how what we create can sometimes turn on the creator.I enjoyed the way the characters were able to come to life in this book, allowing us to understand the motives and actions while entertaining us along the way.Darrin Grimwood is a genuine storyteller and DESTORY ALL ROBOTS is a literary killer of a story worth your time.
