3.0

It was fine, there were some genuinely wholesome moments but all of the characters outside Murderbot and Dr Mensah felt one-dimensional to me. 

The plot was okay, but readers miss out on experiencing the climax and I finished the book feeling confused about what the plan of the Evil Team was and what actually happened. I know it is a series so those questions I have are likely answered later, I just get the feeling the only reason the reader doesn't know what happened is because Murderbot didn't care enough to pay attention.

I definitely relate to Murderbot, yet I didn't fall in love with them like so many other readers have. The writing style just doesn't work for me so I don't think I will be continuing this series.

All Systems Red was an absolutely delightful sci-fi novella. Murderbot is an incredibly funny narrator, and the escapades on the planet are quite fun to read about.

My only complaint is that I found the combat to be a little lacking, but the interpersonal interactions were stellar. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series! 4 stars.

a short and fun sci-fi novella that offered great concepts, quick writing and a hilarious, socially awkward and sarcastic bot as main character.
also found family!
can't wait to continue the murderbot diaries and get my hands on more martha wells books, because the writing and humour were just *chef's kiss*.

Martha Wells managed to pack so much character, worldbuilding, development, high stakes, and personality into this quick little novella. Murderbot is a compelling, lovable, and hilarious narrator, with so much to be explored that I am unsurprised at this series’ longevity. I want to binge them all!
