Pointless and uninvolving. As exciting as reading a car manual. This seeems to have been written by an AI. Not only that but there is a duplicated chapter, one near the beginning and exactly the same one near the end with a differnet chapter heading. (Pages 29-31, and again at pages 165-167).
I was misled by the rating for this book, it seems to me they were put up to it by friends or just faked by the author. A waste of my money.

A satisfying read, well written.
The story seemed to have a familiar parallel. I’m not sure if that was the intention?
A moving and thought provoking piece of work that I would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing!

I hated to see this end! Just can't put in to words how interesting/shocking and soulful this novel was. I am very interested in humanoid AI and this delves deeply into the concept.

I liked the story and loved Adam, but the writing was very stiff and overly proper. At times I felt like I was reading a text book. I applaud the author’s beliefs, however. It’s also clear that the author is passionate. This book needed a good editor.
