Blurb:
John Michael Kirkpatrick is anxious to make his mark with his work on his father’s university research project, LX8000, a female robot built to mimic humans. But LX8000, or “Lexi,” as John Michael calls the playful, insatiably curious bot, has a mind of her own, and when she unexpectedly turns up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, she sets them both on a journey from the glittering city to the last outpost of human habitation. As time runs out, he must make a choice that will determine his own future: hand Lexi over for reprogramming, or help her escape from the people who bought her. Could he really be falling in love . . . with a machine?

My Take on the Book:
This book was set at quite a nice and exciting pace. This had an Urban Sci-Fi feel to it, there’s also some mechanical jargon here, but it’s still easy to follow the story-line. I got the idea that there’s a bit of family history with John Michael Kirkpatrick and it seemed quite intriguing. It felt as if John was one of those geeky nerds that had access to the in-crowd. I ended up giving this book a four star rating and got a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Last Word:
I would say that this is my second favourite sci-fi book, especially since it was made relatable by having real world environments in it.
Enjoy,
Carmen
