Confessions of a Trash Droid #2
Illegal Operation
They made him an offer he couldn't refuse - join the mob or watch his favorite human die.
Now T.E.D.D., the foul-mouthed trash droid who's done taking humanity's crap, is stuck juggling mobsters, mutant tech, his own glitchy anomaly, and a pack of robowolves. Blades and bullets won't be enough. Because the deadliest part of the job isn't the weapons — it's his dumb ass co-workers who make Great Grandpa GPT look like a genius.
Perfect for fans of Martha Wells, Asimov, John Scalzi, Andy Weir, and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

2.75/5 round up to 3
Entertaining-ish but just isn't well written at all. Such a juvenile writing voice.

Just like the first book, this is inexplicably written in the first person present tense. It doesn't make any more sense now than it did then. Our main protagonist is just as unlikable as before. The secondary protagonists are also not particularly likable. There's also, again, an almost complete lack of world building. But unlike the first book, this one is pretty boring. The story simply moves from one action sequence to another with little purpose or reason to be inerested.
The manager's not exactly a good guy, so I can't quite root for him, but I also can't really root for TEDD. Sarah treats TEDD like crap, and Kyle is generic. The only likeable character is the garbage truck. It's unfortunate that I bought book 2 and 3 together.
1.5 out of 5.

Brain candy
Reads pretty well, but the storyline does not live up to the premise. Much too anthromorphized. Sick of tricks to sell l the next book, too.

Tedd and Friends
In this one Tedd is still running away from The Manager and is being blackmailed by mafia boss Percival. He reconnects with his human friend Sarah and meets Kyle, another human friend. Note that Tedd calls all humans meatbags. Together the 3 of them are trying to find out what happened to the Missing. The plot is more intense in this one but Tedd is still his funny and irreverent self. He is a little more aware that while his parts are interchangeable, Sarah’s and Kyle’s are not so he’s a little more caring and protective of those two meatbags.
Loved the humor and adventures these 3 get to in this one. Looking forward to book 3.

The novella is actually fantastic!!!
Yeah I'm back. Bet you didn't expect to see me for awhile, huh? But you know how it is I needed a book to tide me over before the next book I wanna read comes out. And just so yah know, I'm curious to see if the storyline improves. I'm actually flabbergasted the story doesn't only improve it's fantastic! I liked the fact that Tedd managed to team up with a couple of humans and Autotruck. But as a side-note I truly dislike bad guys that keep on truckin. And like I said the novella great!

Like book #1, this one is a fast read. T.E.D.D. is still an anomaly with a very sarcastic personality. Sure, at times it can get a bit tiresome - it seems like the more trouble he is in, the more the jokes flow.
There is an overarching storyline - but I wish the world building was fleshed out a bit more. I'll probably continue with the series, it's a good filler between the other books in my TBR pile.

The Arm.Gag
The Murder Bot series steals the fresh feeling from this series. Trash Bot is more human than I feel its should be. The writing is solid and the action is well placed and the ever changing arm gag is fun to follow, I'm still reading the series so Cheney is doing good work.

A good entry #2 in the series. It's more of what you loved from the first one. Fun, snark and a solid adventure.
Yes, these are more like chapters of a much larger book, but somehow that feels okay. You can fit reading these into times when you simply can't, or don't want to, settle in for a marathon.
Can't wait to read the rest!

Fascinating AI-slop. I kept reading to find examples of it hallucinating but it seemed to stay on the rails.
As a story however it’s just an awful thing that copies some of the flippant tone of Murderbot and other YA stories without being able to cover up the mind numbing expository story telling.
This serves as a new low mark for Amazon’s self publishing and review gaming system.

Good stuff Mr Cheney, keep it up
The adventure continues with Teddy, Sarah and a surprise guest.
It has just as much humour as book one. It ends in Sector Zero.
And so to book three

Twisted
High speed action, off color humor, and an intriguing conspiracy, it will be interesting to finally find out what goes on during TEDDs "blackouts". Good stuff, looking forward to book 3. Check it out.

Funny, gory and trashy!
So far, I read book 1 to book 4, it was a pleasant read. Action-packed, funny, some gruesome deaths. The main character is annoyingly attaching, immature, full of resources, the kind you want to pat on the shoulder and slap in the face!

This is a series of unfortunate events with guns and a smart mouth droid. I love it! Explosions, shoot outs, car chases, and waking up with no arms or legs. It’s been one hell of a journey with a jaw dropping ending.

Trash droid T.E.D.D. is in the hands of the local crime lord, who blackmails him into working for him, he has other ideas! Rescuing Sarah, they along with Kyle, go looking for the missing. Good story that moves at a nice pace, starting straight after events of book one.

Excellent
More silliness but still a fun read... It had me chuckling... That's a whole lot better than cringing from a book full of blood and guts, death and destruction.

Kind of silly, but in a funny way. Trashdroid is a snarky anti-hero. I was looking for something light and fun, and I found it.

Lots of action; little clarity and the jokes are getting tiresome.

Funny
IF the right actor supplied the face and voice for “Tedd”, along with a mix of superior CGI and this could make a popular SF movie.

Fun book and I hope that the author can continue to write and develop.
I liked the characters and there were fun and funny parts!

Like the 1st book this one i think was faster and more action-packed! These books were easy light reads and i enjoyed them so far!

These are so bad that they're good? Idk but I'm having a good time. I do keep thinking that I won't read the next one but I keep getting sucked back in. Its definitely a guilty pleasure read.

NOT Murderbot
Good stuff and totally different from MB. TD is a winner.TB has issues a psychbot would have problems figuring out.

for me it was not as good as the first one, felt bit dull and just on an endless journey

This was cute and fun and I liked it better than the first one. Definitely interested to see where the story goes.

A Departure From Mainstream Science Fiction
Unusually comedic for a science fiction book, but well written and interesting. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Book 2
I liked this book, I just wish it wasn't cut into little Royal Road sections. I'm off to read book 3 anyway.

Illegal Operation
I still haven’t quite figured out what is going on with these people.The story seems to be just crazy, quite a lot of nonsense. Maybe some day it will make sense.
