Is there something wrong with me if I DNF a book at 93%? Because this book is torturously bad. One might even say it's hell.

I need everyone to stop what they're doing and read this book right now. It is so important. I hope in 50 years George Takei will be remembered as a great storyteller who, oh yeah!, was also an actor in Star Trek. Props, of course, go to his fellow creators who helped put this story on paper.

I'm less than 2 minutes into the audiobook and the protagonist is already being described as not like other girls, but it's okay. It's fine. This book is 25 years old. It probably invented the trope. 😂

This murderbot is more relatable than any other MC I've ever read. 😭

I just can't stand the narrator's terrible fake southern accent. Narrators, I'm begging you: just read in your own voice! 😭

There was an uncomfortable moment where the main character said she could recognize male or female gender in any species... which just doesn't even make sense. This character is a scientist who studies snakes (famously difficult animals to distinguish the sex/gender at a glance) and she basically just said "I can always tell"?? I'm not buying it. And I'm thinking about DNFing/returning this book.

Oh no, the change in audiobook narrators is so jarring. 😖

I'm having trouble paying attention to this audiobook because it's making me think about all the times I found skeletons in the woods as a teen (I used to go hiking alone off-trail almost every day). I'm pretty sure they were all deer skeletons. Pretty sure.

There are an oddly high number of My Little Pony references in this book. 🤔
