Fatal Error

Confessions of a Trash Droid, Book 1

By: Michael Cheney

Narrated by: Lukas Arnold

They built him to take out their trash. Turns out they're next.

Tedd is a trash droid with an "anomaly" - he can think for himself. Management wants him smelted, and his runaway mouth isn't helping.

He could disappear quietly. He could play it safe. He could, for once in his miserable existence, do the sensible thing.

But he doesn't. He never does.

If you love Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, or Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, you'll devour this.

story went nowhere and never resolved itself. poor attempt at sequel baiting with no intermediate conclusion to the storyline.

no conclusion or real definition of what the story or androids motives where. poor character development. Definitely not in the same class as Martha Wells series as the advertising suggests. It's like the author wants to sell a book as if it's an episode in a season of show. credits are too expensive to sit through skimpy portions of a storyline.

Entertaining

I loved this book made me laugh and look completely insane in my office as I laughed out loud and gasped while listening can’t wait to start the next book in the series!!!!

Witty and Funny

I'm not usually a fan of first POV books, but this one had me hooked from the get go. The writing us rich and funny, and I look forward to the other books in the series!

mediocre robot freedom story

it was fine. the main character is sardonic and mildly funny. the story feels predictable and basic. it was enjoyable enough. the performer does a very good job in narrating the story.

So so

Premise seemed promising but execution was lackluster. Too short for the credit needed. Maybe do a two for one?
