Robogenesis

Daniel's robo-series is an inspiration for my own writing.

This book had its good moments, which is why I finished it and why it's getting two stars. I was hoping for more, though.
Considering the rave reviews this books has been getting, I'm definitely in a minority here. Basically.. I found the book fragmented and convoluted. Robocalypse and Amped are better, in my opinion.
This book is split into three parts, each part following the same time-line. For each part, you jump back to the beginning or very early in the time-line. The parts have character names, so these parts are about Lark, Mathilda and Cormac. BUT WAIT! There's more! Add another seven points of view into the mix and you have a story told by ten different characters. It got pretty tedious.
Amped used "kissy-descriptions" twice! About light-kissed moths that flutter overhead and a rust-kissed screen.
Robocalypse used it once! "...the tall grass prairie rolls and sways all the way to the horizon, where it kisses the stars."
What the hell happened with Robogenesis?
* Kneeling on the ice-kissed turf, I brace against... * Snow kissing my boots... * Dew-kissed walls reflect strange light... * ... and hanging like ice-kissed tree branches. * He lifts the bottle to his lips and kisses the amber liquid. * The cool spring mist kisses my face ... * ... and the cold black shale kisses my knees and slithers out from under my fingers. * ... watching the snow-kissed pines roll and sway. * It drops down onto its knees, belly kissing the ground. * ... I think of that sun-kissed day when I scrawled the name ... * ... turning his wind-kissed face to a night sky scabbed with stars. * A greenish tinge of infrared-kissed dust motes.
I'm sorry, but this is where the Robocalypse series ends for me. It'll probably make a cool movie, though.
