Welcome to Litsy!

Entertaining sci-fi ish horror novella. Can an AI robot be possessed by evil? The characters are about to find out. Set during Halloween, an agoraphobic husband and his pregnant wife have invited some of her friends over to their smart house. The husband decides that perhaps they should meet William…and the story goes from there. Best to read in one sitting. Low pick. Enjoyed it while I read it but it‘s not a favorite.

As the world feels scarier and scarier each day, I decided to find something to read that would be comforting and uplifting, and The Wild Robot was that book. For middle-grade readers (but frankly, anyone should be reading this), Peter Brown gives us a found family that will warm your heart and make you believe in unconditional love. I think it would be great for a family to read and talk about together. All the stars!!

I wish I felt the same way about the first 3/4 of the book as I did in the last 1/4. The story was very mediocre until the end. Once I found out what was really going on I was floored. I was also a little angry with myself for not figuring it out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The idea is great, and the beginning is very intriguing. However, after a few chapters, I could not take more of Uncharles. I don't like the writing style, and the narrator's voice is plodding and grating, so I bailed.

Slow start but worth it. What is justice? What is purpose? What is love and connection? Excellent end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's been a minute since I read the first two Wild Robot books. I honestly don't remember them going this hard. The story conveys much in a way accessible to younger readers, it features the return of many beloved characters, but it also confronts: environmental pollution, undersea mining, the damage done in harvesting the minerals today (and likely the future)'s tech demands, 1/?

George is safe. George needs to change his shorts! 😅😆

I'm getting 'this is fine' vibes a la the dog sitting amongst flames meme. 🤦🏼‍♂️
