The Wild Robot | Peter Brown
Pickpick

This is a cute little novel about a robot, Roz, washing ashore an island and learns to be wild. She learns from watching the animals, slowly learning their language. Heartbreaking at points, as the story takes no prisoners with reality. Animals die; frozen in winter and shot by hunters. It‘s a reality of life, and it is crafted sensitively. Liked how she raises a gosling as her own son. Wonderful connection. The ending surprised me.

#ReadAway2024#SeriesLove2024

Finished this on Sunday, it‘s my 2nd book for April #Roll100 (Book #100 which was “Any Kindle Unlimited”) I‘m glad I finally got around to reading it, it‘s just a very introspective cozy science-fiction/fantasy story. A quick read that I wanted to take my time with. I could relate to Dex‘s existential crisis & how they wondered what they were doing while they kept doing it & of course Mosscap is delightful.🍵🤖🤍⬇️

DebinHawaii A favorite quote:
“…because it is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it. You don‘t need to justify that, or even earn it. You are allowed to just live. That is all most animals do.”
Looking forward to Book 2!

“Gods around” - I kind of like this expression… Has anyone adopted this phrase and what did it replace?

(And yes, we have TOO MUCH STUFF. 😤)

I'm rubbish at remembering individual short stories, so allow me to present 3 of my favourite short story collections...

1) The Complete Robot (Asimov)
2) The Thirteen Problems (Christie)
3) Someone who will love you in all your damaged glory (Bob-Waksberg)

Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author

dabbe Collections most definitely work--more stories to read that way! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 2mo

Book 3 in series. The first book remains the best.

Roz goes on a mission to save her island from the poison tide. Although she met me friends along the way, I enjoy her interactions with her island friends most.

In the afterword the author claims to not want this book to be preachy/moralistic but it is a smidge.

I was in the mood for this. Dystopian … western … rebel robots in midwestern wasteland after the last human dies. I love when human characteristics pop up. Fun book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Reggie I loved this book so much. And I loved Brittle. I‘m gonna read the prequel later this year. 2mo
Twainy @Reggie the audio was so good! 😁 2mo
