I read so many positive reviews of this book when it came out in 2021, I knew I would probably like it, too. It just took me awhile to get around to reading it. (Surprise, surprise.) And I didn't just like it; I loved it! It's a very compelling and original take on a future robot apocalypse. And I adored Pounce, the tiger nannybot wired to protect his young charge, Ezra, no matter what. He's such an irresistible and likable narrator. The book made me laugh and cry. I'd give it 5 stars.
Happy Reading!
Similar read (which I also gave 5 stars!):
Titles noted expecially that first one with the tiger nannybot! How unusal does that sound!
ReplyDeleteIt is a unique premise, and I loved Pounce!
DeleteI like that you compare one book with another as that helps us find books we'll like.
ReplyDeleteI can't always think of similar reads, but this time I got lucky.
Deleteoooh, one to check out then!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love Pounce!
DeleteWow! A five-star read! Hastily adding it to my interminable TBR list.
ReplyDelete:D It was different, and funny, and sad, and compelling, and I just really enjoyed it.
DeleteThis sounds awesome! I've been in the mood for sci-fi lately, so this is going on my list. :D
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to like about this one, but it's Pounce's relationship with 8-year-old Ezra that I really loved.
DeleteGlad you liked it, though sci fi and dystopia are genres I rarely read. It's nice to find books one really enjoys!
ReplyDeleteIt is! :D
DeleteThese are not my genres but glad you enjoyed them :)
ReplyDeleteNot into robot apocalypses? ;D
DeleteAwwwww, I loved this book! Pounce and Ezra are such great characters.
ReplyDeleteThey really are! I got very attached to both. :D
DeleteI love end-of-the-world scenarios. I'll check these ones out seeing your 5 stars, Lark!
ReplyDeleteThey're both just so different and fun! And memorable, too.
DeleteOh, this sounds fantastic! Thanks for putting it on my radar!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to read it! :D
DeleteI typically don't read end of the world type books but the tiger nannybot kind of changed my mind. This sounds interesting!
ReplyDeletePounce is such a unique character and narrator. I loved how protective he was of Evan, and how he had to decide if he was with the robots, or the humans.
DeleteA future robot apocalypse! I don't think I've ever read anything like this. Sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun.
DeleteThe cover of Roboapocalypse looks pretty freaky!
ReplyDeleteIt does, doesn't it? ;D
DeleteOoh two 5 Star reads!
ReplyDeleteI loved both of these books!
