The Mad Scientist's Daughter by Cassandra Rose Clarke
5.0
At first, I found it really disturbing. I couldn't help but picture androids like C-3PO, but painted with human skin. So, reading the parts involving intimate details slightly unnerved. Hence, I have concluded that the trick to keeping sanity while reading this book is to imagine an immortal teenage boy with no sense of pop culture.
This entire novel is just a tragic love story of self-discovery. No kidding. Not a lot of happy moments, just sort of depressing moments and old-fashionedness. Caterina Novak is dubbed "The Mad Scientist's Daughter" because her father, Dr. Daniel Novak is an esteemed cybernetiicist. This novel is her life story, growing up in a world where androids are the immigrants to her society's nativists.
At least at the end, I actually got sorrowfully attached to Finn. Like very, very seriously attached like I've never been in a novel character (only fanfiction characters). Like, I literally began to see Finn in a new light. And this novel was LITERALLY Cat's life story: high school, sex, drugs, marriage, divorce, birth, and rekindling of love.
