100% would read again. This book is way ahead of it's time and is one of those books that everyone should read.
A desolate world covered in dust, only inhabited by those left behind and escaped Androids.
This is a classic Human vs. Android novel that gives the reader lots of food for thought. What really happens when Androids get too close to the real thing?

Wow. I have LITERALLY just finished the last page of this book.
Despite the sheer length of the book, it does not fail to impress. I was a massive fan of Perks of Being a Wallflower and had high hopes for Stephen Chbosky's second book. The reviews I have read online have been mixed, with many people being very disappointed at the general pace of the book, which I admit is true. I almost stopped half way - 360 pages in to be exact!
In my honest opinion, every single word past the half way mark is gripping. I couldn't put it down. At no point was any part of the storyline predictable but equally, it wasn't too confusing to follow as some thrillers are.
Every single character has an amazingly well thought out and explained back story, all of which pull together as part of a puzzle.
I really don't know how else to put this but; ADD THIS BOOK TO YOUR LIST IMMEDIATELY.
Thank you Stephen Chbosky for another truly remarkable book.

Not a full review but this book is outstanding. For a book written 90 years ago, the writing is unbelievably modern and extremely thought provoking.
This is definitely a YA and therefore I won't mark it down unfairly compared to adult fantasy. I found all of the key parts to be wonderfully written and exciting but many parts were overly drawn out and could've been cut back to make the book shorter. I personally didn't think the romance was necessary as the family bonds were interesting enough themselves.
