A Little Slow but an Interesting Story
All robots have 2 protocols, one is to never harm a living thing, the other is the inability to alter themselves. Something goes wrong and insurance agent Jacq is left to figure out what the hell happened. It's a little slow to start but the story is interesting (except for this really really f**king weird bit where Jacq gets drunk). Feels a little like I, Robot though so I don't know how I feel about it. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't watch it again.

When their friend's father is robbed of a rare comic book, Nick and Tesla use their new self-built robots to try to find the thief.

Kids will enjoy this one. The characters are better than the first and in keeping with a middle grade novel. The plot is strong and actually threw a twist in there that surprised me.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Amazon's Vine Program.

The whole time I was reading this all I thought of was the movie with the robots - I believe it is called pacific rim. I don't know what I expected when I started this book but I got more than I bargained for I think. I like the excitement - when it happened - but for the most part this was just a political "thriller" type book - the thrills were lacking though - everything felt super slow and I didn't really understand what the point of the book was. Highly disappointed.

Loved this one, it's not perfect but its surprisingly entertaining given that Will Smith doesn't go completely over the top with his acting style which is very Marmite for some.
He plays the part with quite convincing paranoia and struggles with memories that he cant quite reconcile.
Action set pieces are quite amazing and complement the story without engulfing it.
The animation on the robots as in Transformers is flawless and believable.
A movie that makes you think and is not just your run of the mill action flick.
