35/100 Thankfully this was fairly short, I think I would have bailed if it was longer. I liked the idea of an AI hologram agent, but it seemed used mostly for comedic effect. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ #Read2025

I loved the whole IA robocop. I did not know that it was a part of a series, so will be going back and reading the other books.

New eBook while I wait in the car to collect my lad from College.

I'd just done my first ever eBook library borrow of this yesterday and then it came up as a #99ponkobo deal today lol.

Book 2 of this series featuring an AI police partner set in the UK

squirrelbrain I thought this was even better than the first one. 3w
Balibee146 @squirrelbrain i agree and I was very happy with the pronouns situation by the end 👍 3w

I‘ve been arguing with our history department all week about GAI and assessments and then read a book with an AI detective.However, I did enjoy the book 😁

BarbaraBB No eacaping AI 😩 1mo
TrishB @BarbaraBB definitely not! 1mo
Reggie The other day at work during break, Let‘s Make a Deal was on and one of the prizes was an AI dog who could not only watch the house for you but also be your wake up alarm. It looked so scary. This sounds interesting. Stacked. 1mo
TrishB @Reggie that is scary! 1mo

I‘m all over the map on this book. Here are my random thoughts:
1. Don‘t listen to the audiobook. Apparently you can‘t tell that there is a section of the narrative that is in italics which is an important feature of the story. (At least that‘s what Reddit readers said.)
2. It took me forever to get into it and I really had to push to finish it.
3. You have to finish it. But it will give you a headache.
4. The ocean is magical. AI sucks.

BarbaraBB Great review. It‘s my favorite read of the year so far even though I ended up with so many questions 🤯 1mo
Suet624 @BarbaraBB I think it will take time for the book to settle within me. I so dislike Todd/AI/what these creators have done that I angrily squirmed through it. Of course much of it was brilliant and I loved the ocean passages. 1mo
BarbaraBB Angrily squirmed through it 😀 oh Sue I so like the way you are! 1mo

Suet624 @BarbaraBB (sigh) I miss the oceanographer. I keep thinking about her. 1mo

Valentine's Day gift for my spouse. Slightly self-serving because I REALLY want him to read this so I can talk to him about it.

BarbaraBB I want my husband to read it too but he keeps refusing unfortunately 1mo

ImperfectCJ @BarbaraBB Mine loved The Overstory, and he wants to read this one, he just keeps postponing it. I decided to remove an energy barrier for him (and I'm kind if interested in re-reading it myself) 1mo
LoverOfLearning What a stunning cover! 1mo
Suet624 That sculpture is gorgeous. 1mo

I have read some great books this week, so it was tough to choose, but the tagged edged out Poor Deer and Martyr! by just a little (even with how grouchy the ending still has me feeling).

BarbaraBB That #ToB25Longlist has given us so many good books!! (edited) 2mo
Read4life Having to choose between good books is a great problem to have 😉 2mo
