A review by vinpauld
The Clockwork Man by E. V. Odle

4.0

This short, entertaining early sci-fi novel (the first to feature a cyborg character) felt a little like a humorous Doctor Who episode (minus the Doctor) if it had been written by H.G. Wells. I could imagine The Clockwork Man showing up as a poignant character in an episode of Doctor Who. Though there are some very funny incidents and scenes, there is not a lot of action or plot. This is really a novel of ideas. I did find it thought-provoking and a fun, worthwhile read.
