Book Review of Network Effect (Murderbot Diaries, Bk 5)

Network Effect (Murderbot Diaries, Bk 5)
reviewed on + 112 more book reviews


A nearly perfect science fiction yarn. You're riding along in Murderbot's head as he saves his âclientsâ again (When will they listen and NOT get themselves on danger), teenage angst, alien âinvaders?â and all these complex emotions. There's even a split personality moment or 4.

The narration is hilarious â should humans handle their own security â with calm moments in between the action bits. We see logical (and touching, sometimes) emotional development - constructs and humans.

I burned through the novellas. This full length novel just carries on the tradition of a decent (if predictable) plot, but superb characters. Yes. I read through the next morning to finish the book.
