Robot Round-Up, 25.01.13
Hello and welcome to another Robot Round-Up. Off we go:
Cassandra Rose Clarke‘s rather wonderful tale of love, loss and robots, The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is so very nearly almost, almost with us – Feb 7th in the UK, Jan 29th in the US and Ebook – and we’ve seen a flood of great new reviews this week, like these:
• Mk at Popcorn Reads: “I had planned to say that you could just read the surface of this multi-dimensional story and walk away but that isn’t true. Once it grabs you, you’re going to have to dive into the deep end. You’ll look at what it means to be human with new eyes.”
• Rebekah at The Reflections of a Bookworm “Recommended to Sci-Fi fans and those of us who are incredibly nosy about what the future could hold! I would give it 4 Stars – This book was really good, a definite re-reader!”
• Janice at The Demon Librarian: “At its core, The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is a love story. An unusual one, perhaps, but powerful and thought-provoking, and a book I won’t soon forget.”
• Nafiza at Bipliophilic Monologues: “[The novel] It asks some very difficult questions and while it doesn’t expect any clear answers, it does expect that you, the reader, will think about the questions it raises.”
• Soma at Insomnia of Books: “I absolutely adored this novel. it made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me think about the true meaning of love. True love, not something cutout of cardboard and taped together with lies.”
• Katrina at On Fiction Writing: “Cat is one of the most complicated and wonderfully written female leads I’ve read this year … The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is the ideal blend of story for story’s sake and a story that leaves you thinking after the final page is turned.”
• Ellie at Curiosity Killed the Bookworm: “This book is just stunning; a beautiful story about the nature of love and the sentience of artificial intelligence.”
• Julie at New Adult Addication: “I was blown away – BLOWN away by this story. I loved it.”
• Low Country Books Lover: “The Mad Scientist’s Daughter is a book that has continued to stay with me even weeks after finishing … this was one of my favorite reads this year. 5/5 stars and highly recommended.”
• AH at Badass Book Reviews: “The writing is beautiful. Ms. Clarke has a wonderful way with words. I was enthralled and I really could not put this book down.”
• Sassyreads: “this is more a love story than anything else. But under that there’s a tale of a girl/woman who grows over time, stumbles, and makes mistakes, proves herself selfish… but redeems herself in the end.”
