This is a reread, but I don't remember a ton of it. I think Christopher does a reasonably good job at capturing Chandler's style, if not with QUITE Chandler's flair.

It‘s something alright. Not too bad. Really kind of interesting though. I mean I did finish it though so it must not have been horrible! Not sure if I‘m gonna read the sequel or not.
Gonna have to give this one a thumbs down. A robot noir story is a great premise, but the rest is executed horribly. Thinly written characters, predictable tropes, and prose that needed a lot of editing.
Take your classic noir novel add a femme fatale and instead of Mr Cary Grant in the lead, you've got Raymond Electromatic. This book so boring and unoriginal. I'm done. #decapunk
Adam Christopher's novel (the first in a trilogy) combines alternate history, science fiction and hard-boiled pulp crime fiction to mixed effect.
