I like how you don't get to know what happened to the narrator properly until right at the end - great suspense!

There was a boy who was injured after being hit by a bus, and he had to get a replacement hand. He went to the airport where he lost his prosthetic hand and he went to find it, but he found a robot instead. The story was about the robot being chased down by authorities because they thought he was dangerous. The robot was my favourite character because he could do lots of things that humans can't. I would recommend it to people who like robots - there are lots of different robots in this book.

This book is about a person who is half human half cyborg which is half human half computer. He got his parts replaced by a place called limb lab which the get new parts of robots then they put it on and they can go to a glass sphere to play with their new body parts. My favourite p art is when he went into the airport and booked a plane ticket then he lost it he tryed looking in the lost property which was realy dark then found a broken robot lay down on the floor. He kept repeating the same words over again then got saved by a helicopter. Its a fiction book.

This book was surprisingly good because the story was thrilling and adventurous with lots of twists. The time the story was put in was in the future because the book was full of robots. Pizza bots, DustHedgehogs, and Polishing bots. I loved the fantastic story of how a boy with a false hand finds a robot that can walk and talk and how they have a thrilling escape from the police who want to destroy the unlicensed robot .This was an amazing story that I recommend anyone to try.
