Robopocalypse: A Novel Audiobook

" Good book, more like a 3.5 star rating. The first 200 pages or so are outstanding. The final act of the book rushes a bit and leaves a few characters behind. I still really enjoyed it. A very interesting way to tell a story. Be wary though, this is hard science fiction and the technology descriptions can be overwhelming at parts. Still, this is a well done book and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't wait for the movie! "

" Well i liked it for the first two thirds but i feel like the ending really fell short. It was a great set up of how we have become too dependent on our tech and how it will lead to our undoing. I wanted more transformation in the humans. And while the transformation of the robots was interesting it didn't really come to any grand conclusion...in a sense they ended the book with a sort of Jim Crow separate but equal feel without really making any parallels to the nature of oppression. What I love about Sci-Fi is it usually tackels modern social issues and sets them in a distant or fantasy setting so that hard social commentary can be made in a way that is more digestible...it is what I love about gene Rodenberry and the new Battlestar Galattica... this book didn't have this for me. It felt more like a military action movie with the Hollywood man and women off in the sunset kind of ending...but hey if you like that sot of thing this will be right up your alley. "

" so-so, kind of silly but fun, heard it is being made into a movie "

" I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't as gritty as I would have liked. Characters were well thought out and I enjoyed their growth. Overall it was a good book. "

" Listened to the audio book in the car. Satisfying, light fare - maybe not the best writing of all time, but I enjoyed it. "

" Scary realistic, great quick read "

" This starts out slow, mainly because it's told in a dairy format to show what is going on. Not until the 2nd half do you start having recurring characters. "

" Our future is being designed today in the factories and think tanks. "

" A thrilling read - one of those books I couldn't put down. Sure, robots taking over the world is nothing new, but Daniel Wilson creates such an insidiously clever plot that it made for a hell of a story. I'll just say that I'm never going to buy a "smart" car... "

" Really tore through this one. About half-and-half Terminator and World War Z. I enjoyed the hell out of this. "

" Stupid title. Great book. "

" This was just terrible. Drivel. Read World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Warand skip this entirely. "

" I thought this book was going to be somewhat well dumb. But it was surprisingly amazing. A great page turner and science fiction book. I would say it is written in the style of World War Z. I highly recommend this book. I just couldn't put it down. "

" The Machines take over type story has been done before by Philip K. Dick, the Terminator series, and other books and movies. And the style of this book is reminiscent of World War Z. But the story was entertaining nonetheless. "

" Fun. A light read. Goes fast with sparse details. No surprises, but enjoyable. "

" Stupid title for a good book. If you like science fiction that could be in the future. "

" Terminator meets World War Z at least in writing format. A page turner that took me into the night. Steven Spielberg has his eye on making this into a movie. "

" It's campy and cartoonish, but it's still a fun read that kept my interest "

" Overall, I enjoyed this book. It's narration style definitely reminded me of World War Z. Since the book begins at the end (most of the book is a series of "flashbacks"), the last few chapters seemed kind of pointless and were hard to get through. "

" This was my first audio book, and it was a great experience. I've been meaning to read this book for quite a while (has been sitting in one of my book piles). Think I am glad I listed to it instead. The reader was excellent, and the story GREAT! Highly recommended for Sci Fi fans. "

" Another ghost in the machine disaster sci-fi tale. In the style of Asimov. Love it. "

" The most amazing robot apocalypse books I've ever read. I will read this again. "

" This is the robotic version of World War Z...but honestly, I think I enjoyed this book as much or more than I did WWZ. Great book. "

" excellent for the genre! If you love robots and you love sci-fi, you will love this book! "

" Pretty entertaining book. It has a very similar writing style as World War Z by Max Brooks. Steven Spielberg is attached to direct the film adaptation, which should be pretty interesting. "

" It was good, but I didn't enjoy reading from the female child's perspective. It felt wrong. "

" This books is fucking amazing. It constantly gave me chills. "

" Not bad....not great....but not bad. "

" This was a fun summer vacation read. I definitely see this as a future movie. "

" Some of it was interesting but it got really boring in some parts. Usually the end of a book is the best part, but not in this case. "

" A decent man vs. Robots book with considerable detail for the robots involved. The author does a decent job of spinning multiple storylines together with a very probable finish. This would make a good movie. "

" Another ghost in the machine disaster sci-fi tale. In the style of Asimov. Love it. "

" Excellent!!! What a great movie this could be!!! "

" This was a fun quick summer read. Also thought provoking. "

" It was a good book, but very war focused. More battles and tactics instead of story/character development. But we enjoyed it. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this post- post-robot takeover book. Well-written, interesting characters, fun premise. Sure, there's the occasional need to suspend your disbelief, but that's okay. "
