I loved the funny, witty inner voice of Murderbot, and I also love that it chose the name based on the coolness factor and not because it actually likes to murder. My mom has been bugging me to read this book for years, and I'm so glad I finally listened and read the first installment. I love how Murderbot grew to trust and care about the humans they were reporting to. 10/10, can't wait to read the next one.
4.25 Witty social commentary from a killer robot (well actually guard robot) with an interesting world and realistic characters, but the novella format really hurts it a little. It's over before it has really started. Still rating it highly because the story continues directly in the next volume.
