This book was very easy to read and very easy to get through. That being said, I felt the writing was very minimalist. It seemed more like placeholders for a story board that was waiting on a writer to elaborate on. The story follows a boy in a world attacked by robots and it attempts to give a lot of backstory in 2 page intervals. The entire story and explanations seem very rushed and unnaturally spoken by the characters. It also jumps from place to place very frequently, which really breaks up the flow of the story. I was also annoyed by the fact that Burn never tells his name to the group he joins because he was dealing with his internal struggle yet somehow they know what to call him. The young girl felt like she was going to have a much bigger role and more significance but fell really flat and the main character's internal struggle was solved in a page. The entire thing felt to easily fixed even though you know a bigger threat is coming, all of the other fights were ended so easily you know there really isn't a chance of Burn loosing.

Robots are coming to destroy the human race. One robot is badly injured, and so grafts itself into the only nearby material: a boy who was also injured in the robot war. The robot wants to continue destroying humanity. The boy disagrees. But they're stuck together! Who controls the body?
Disjointed plot that moves too quickly to keep any sense of it, along with scratchy artwork that's similarly hard to make sense of. Did not enjoy this one.

This was great! I love Camilla d'Errico's art and style. The story was fantastic--I'm always down for some AI gone awry.
