Welcome to Litsy!

How cute. Perhaps not quite as touching as I was hoping for, but full of kindheartedness, healing, and unlikely friendship, with a subdued murmur of human vanity and the societal expectation placed on children underneath the sometimes kitschy writing style. I just wish there was more heart in the story - more exploration of humanity and its complex nuances through the eyes of a sentient robot. For lack of a better word - the ending was just "meh."

Sweet book 🤖❤️.
I mean, what's not love about a cosy road trip with a human, a retro robot, and a radioactive sausage dog?

"I found that the mechanics of Tang - how he was powered, whether he ate or slept - did not interest me as much as his PERSONALITY."

Speaking my language, Deborah Install!

"Now, I have to admit that the idea of travelling across the desert in a Dodge Charger with a retro robot and a radioactive sausage dog is not something I would have imagined myself doing. But life takes us in peculiar directions sometimes, and on those occasions the only thing to do is give it a high-five and roll with it." ??

Okay, nobody should be surprised that my hold list hijinks have caught up with me and I now have more #robotbooks / #aibooks out from the library than I can reasonably read at one time...

This book was pure fun and good adventure. Tang is a Robot that shows up in Ben‘s back garden. One problem: he‘s got a damaged cylinder and no one seems to know how to fix him. They travel from the UK to Cali, Texas, Tokyo and Palau and have some interesting experiences. Ben learns about himself through his experiences with Tang. Heartfelt and sweet.

Delightful!
Ben is living in his childhood home with his loveless wife when one morning the wife tells him there is a robot in the garden and he needs to deal with it.

The custom, obsolete, pieced-together robot, Tang, acts like a temperamental toddler.
He and Ben go on a road trip to find his creator.
Charming, endearing story. I really liked it.
If I were Reese Witherspoon I would produce the film 😁

This has been on my TBR aver since I picked it up for the #hyggeswap back in September for @Phancatherine I found it at Chapters and it was only $2 so I had to buy it. This is my most anticipated December read, for day 1 of the #DecInBooks17 photo challenge, hosted by @bookisglee ❤️

I tried to do a "T" for Timewalker, but it was an epic fail...lol...this is my haul from BO in a weak moment. The books on top are: Animal Envy, Behold The Dreamers, The Autobiography of us.

Once in awhile, a special book finds you just when you need it most. I needed this book. I needed Tang. To have something so endearing, so happy, and just plain adorable come along and lift my spirits and warm my heart was entirely unexpected and welcomed. Five stars.

I am LOVING this book so far. If it wasn't for work, I'd be finished already. Hmph.

Now this was a fun book that turns surprisingly serious about a man who finds a robot in his garden and begins a quest to search for how he got there. Install takes a very serious shift in the storyline that makes this incredibly original.

Oh, I think I'm going to like the sense of humor in this one! After Smoke, I needed something light and happy.

This was a surprising book! Funny and sweet and a great summer read.

This was so delightful and heartwarming and exactly the sort of pick-me-up we all need now and then. I spent a lot of time saying, "awww", laughing out loud, and just generally being in love with the characters and the story. If you liked the film Wall-E then you'll probably be right into this book.

"I have to admit that the idea of traveling across the desert in a Dodge Charger with a retro robot and a radioactive sausage dog is not something I would have imagined myself doing." We've all felt like that, I'm sure. ?

Sweet.charming tale. In a world of super android perfection,Tang is a relic, as ancient as a dinosaur. So when dilapidated Tang appears in Ben's garden, Ben does the obvious...he journey's around the world (much to his wife's dismay) to find the parts to fix Tang. Simply adorable 🤖

A quirky tale of a man who saves a little robot & in the process saves himself. Cute & funny: a light-hearted easy read.

Still not sure how I feel about this book. I started it recently and it's not quite what I expected. I think I was expecting more sci fi elements. Also the main character hasn't been fleshed out enough so I don't relate to him. Does it get better? Should I keep reading?
