Confessions of a Trash Droid #4
Primal Override
Tedd survived the corporation. The mob. The death camp.
The jungle is different.
Something is growing inside the fortress hidden in the trees. Something the Manager has been building in secret. Something that isn't metal, isn't wired, and isn't remotely interested in taking prisoners.
Something - with teeth.
If you love Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, or Martha Wells' Murderbot Diaries, you'll devour this.
Confessions of a Trash Droid Amazon #1 Bestseller for Humorous Sci-Fi. 64,427 copies sold and counting.

The auther out of nowhere ads a grape scene and its pretty gross, and the victim is fine because of few words by the mc. Pretty bad writing and so uneeded in what was otherwise a fun read. Ruined the whole series for me.

All action, none of the heart of previous books
Hopefully, this entry in the series is not indicative of what is to come.
My biggest complaint is the constant, relentless bickering between the two bots. It's just a never-ending, mind-numbing flow of Marvel-movie quipping and banter. Just empty calories, with no substance. I feel Sarah's pain when she tells them to please, just SHUT up!
Also, I'm not sure the plot actually makes sense. I don't want to reveal spoilers, but the fact that the bots and Sarah and the Manager end up in the same place after the destruction of Sector One? And why did the bots even think Sarah was there, when they escaped Sector one by a randomly chosen shuttle with no idea where they had arrived?
Anyway, one to the next one and crossing my fingers.

Honestly don’t know what I am doing with this series. It reads as if the author is just simply making things up as he goes along, which is surely the case. I enjoyed the first one enough to keep going, but each subsequent volume stretches thinner and thinner in the content department.
The first two books were light and fluffy as cotton candy, but they also had endings. The last three books have just been “to be continued in the next volume” things that just bleed into each other.
This particular volume contains a pretty disturbing description of horrible sexual abuse which is just sort of brushed aside with a few “snap out of it!” comments from the main character. Not sure if this will come back in the next books or not, but it seemed pretty crazy to throw it in as casually as it was.
I bought the combined volume with all 7 volumes, so I’m still somewhat determined to get through the final three books. If I was buying them separately, I’m not sure I’d keep going.

We survived a Nuclear blast it couldn't possibly get any worse. Sucker!
Tedd and AracnoBot manage an escape but now they're in the jungle. I love how this author puts our hero into jam after jam and gets him out of it relatively unscathed. Just when you think things can't possibly get weirder, they do. This story is wrought with peril. I was never a big sci-fi fan but with the humor our meat bag author has injected it makes you want to press on. Let's face it, TEDD is a smartass! Absolutely love it. Can't wait until the next chapter. This is a great series. Give it a chance and you'll like it too.

Fun. Cute. Gross.
This is a cute, little time waster. It’s an action-driven novella, while I wait for Tuesday! And anyone who's read Trash Droid knows that the books can be a bit gross, plus Tedd has a potty mouth that doesn't stop. Tedd and his friend Aracnobot are on a mission to rescue Sara from the evil Manager.

Another fun TEDD the Trash Droid book! Was super excited that it came out on audio. Now just waiting for book 5 on audio lol.
There was a lot of action in this book. I really got some Joe Ledge book vibes from the whole situation, the creatures, the bombs, the evil villain having Sarah and Arachnobot.
Solid entry in the series.

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.

Oh boy, things are getting serious for our Tedd. Primal Override well and truly kept me on my toes and at the edge of my seat. The story is fast paced, fun, tense, dark and absolutely hilarious. I have also fallen completely in love with these characters.
The cliffhanger endings are killing me though. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Oddly Compelling
There is nothing particularly appealing about the characters in this series, and yet I cannot seem to stop reading. The pacing is good. The writing is good. This won’t appeal to everyone, but the series is certainly worth a try.

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! On to book 5!

Sarah joinsTedd and Arachnobot on their latest adventure, running from a bunch of Sloppers, zombie-like artificially created flesh creatures.

I am REALLY enjoying these books. They're fast paced with interesting settings and plots. Looking forward to book 5's release.

Another violently funny installment
If you like your humour with flesh eating mutants, sarcasm and grownup swearing, then this is for you.
It's so good. And addictive.

Another great story. The characters are still great. And this one has more action than any of the preceding books.

A funny eccentric robot!
I really enjoy the light hearted humor. I wish the stories were a bit longer. Or simply join the six books into one longer one?

Still kept me on the edge of my seat with how fast pace it was. Humour was still there, but the creatures in this one grossed me out... lol..

Hilarious escapism
The author has quite the imagination. Great entertainment from the usual future android stories. I will continue with the series.

Primal Override
Can the Trash Droid and his crew save the day? That is the question, and the circumstances are getting more and more strange.

This one was Grose. Sloppers sound disgusting.

I love this series. They are an amusing, engaging, and fun read.

Book four: Primal Override is good. Pretty disgusting on the gory side of things. Its good like the others just too gory for my taste. On to the next!

Marching in time
Many threads exposed by the jungle without warp to beat them against the heatle. Still the explosions were fun too.

Hmm. I’m not at all impressed with this instalment and it’s got nothing to do with Sarah being sexually assaulted. This book just seemed thrown together and pointless. I don’t like the sloppers- there’s far too much space devoted to them. Not sure if I’ll read on.
