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.
