Welcome to Litsy!

This read was really slow getting to the point at first. What kept me going was the humor. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

This was a fun, quick read with a little bit of social commentary to get you thinking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It‘s true what they say about this book. I almost bailed but if you get past the first 100 pages it‘s actually really good, original, funny and full of action. I think it would be great made into a movie. #Botm I give it 3 1/2 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

The first half of this short book was so slow and boring that I almost didn't finish it. After the action started it got interesting. What saved this book for me was OWEN. I loved his witt and charm.

#kindledeal alert on this entertaining read and previous #BOTM selection

Quick read, the plot is pretty much straight to the point. What you want to look out for is good character development and also a blossoming funny “odd-couple“ friendship between Henry and OWEN. OWEN pretty much steals it.

First book down for the #24b4Monday #readathon! This was a good one. It was a detective story with two interesting lead characters with an underlying social commentary. Some of my favorite things! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did not expect to fall in love with a buddy cop style of book about a train-loving man and a flamboyant AI but here I am absolutely in love with it.
Expected hilarity to ensue and was not disappointed. Was pleasantly surprised to find a meaning that I will ponder for a while.

"Just my luck. The first colleague I'd befriended at the agency and it was an alcoholic supercomputer."

Such a fun book!! Easy to read, a page turner, likable characters, and important topics of class and ethics. #botm I should be moving on to my last April book soon, miracle creek :)

3.5-4 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

It was enjoyable and a quick read, but the story arc and ending needed a little work. Some of the story was a tad aimless and there are some unanswered questions and oddities (why Esperanto?), but it was decent overall for a first novel.

I can‘t get over how fun, weird, and just unexpectedly delightful this book was. OWEN FOREVER. #scifi #adventure #urbanplanning

Finally getting to last month's #botm. A fairly fun, easy read.

Stiff, by-the-book Henry is a government worker tasked with traveling to Metropolis to try to learn about and stop a recent disturbance. When he‘s paired with irreverent AI OWEN, hilarity ensues with this odd couple. The first chapter is really rough, but after that the book is terrific and I laughed my way through it. A great #botm pick!

I LOVED this book. It was so unique and I found myself laughing out loud at some of their plans. It is about an awkward office worker and an opinionated AI working together to stop the bad guys. They are a comedy of errors and are both so socially awkward in their own ways that i was greatly entertained. Clever writing, if I was to read this again there would be more of the authors ideas that I missed the first time. Plus love the cover!

Ugh I HATE when I DNF a #botm pick, but I just couldn't focus on the story. I think the premise is interesting, but I couldn't connect to the writing style in any way. Maybe I'll give it another try later this year, but for now I need to move on to something else!

Finished this last night. Pretty good story about a rebellion within a government agency that controls aspects of each city. The rebellion rocks the very foundation of society in the quintessential American city, Metropolis. The main character is sent to squash it along with his sarcastic, alcoholic artificial intelligence co-agent. Don‘t worry, it‘s much better than the description I just gave 😎

A fun read about a stick-to-the-rules guy and an unpredictable AI that team up to try and stop a terrorist attack.

Once you get past the first 60-80 pages, this book turns into one wild ride!

This is my 2nd #BOTM that I finished in the same month I got it (March). That‘s a record for me 😂

At first, I was like “this book is a so-so at best” then, about 60-70 pages in, I was hooked. Fun read...lonely guy and wise cracking AI team up to crack a terrorist organization.

Plot twist...I went from skipping #botm to one #botm selection PLUS some Barnes & Noble #bookhaul picks...oops 🙀

A playful, hilarious romp! Seth Fried‘s The Municipalists is what might have happened if Jane Jacobs had collaborated with Christopher Moore to write fiction for the urban planning nerd. More please!
