intresting

Great genre, sci-fi and dystopian to grip readers. Although it is a short story it feels as though you really go on an adventure with the main character and there is a twist at the end!

It's factual.
I thout it was cool because it's got science.
I would recommend it to some one else.

i wouldn't recommend it.

This book was fiction٫
my favorite character was the robot.
I love the part where she figures out that the robot was actually the robot.

A nice quick read (for me). This is the second Barrington Stoke book I've bought and I have to say that I'm impressed by the quality of the writing. It's great to see some great quality books for struggling and reluctant readers written by great authors.
This book has an engaging story line and I enjoyed the twist at the end. The final page really makes you think.

I liked it when they burnt down the lab.

Future book!

This book was quite interesting, I liked that Claire's dad kept the experament a mystery till near the end. Some bits weren't that fasinating because the author just wrote a speech between her and her mum but there wasn't really much exitement in it. I would recommend it to people who like non-adgectivey writing.

I didn't really understand weather AI-E was a human or weather Clair was an android. It was really confusing yet really deep.

This book is really weird when you start reading it. At the end, you get evevrything that happened.
I would recommend this book 7+ because it might be too scary for younger children.

This was a fantastic book. Now I have read lots of Malorie Blackman books and they all are amazing. I you can try and read them all. She is an awesome author and if you haven’t tried out her books you are missing out on a lot.

Very cool every girl would like this

08 Aug 2018

Again not good.

04 Aug 2018

I think this book is very interesting. The reason is that characters are all robots but they look like people!
I wanted to recommend this book to boys and girls who like a science.

02 Aug 2018

The book was about a girl whose dad create a robot using the girls brain pattern. I found this book interesting. I would recommend this book.

11 Aug 2017

The reason I liked the book was that it was about this man that created a robot and the man used his sons brain functions and memories to programme the robot.

08 Aug 2017

this is a book about a world of androids, and the main character's father is a scientist, who invents the human being! It is a story of great sadness and learning to hide your feelings. But the most difficult question to answer is what ends the book:which is better: to not be able to love, or to love too much?

08 Aug 2017

It's good, but if you're young, it might creep you out a little.

07 Aug 2017

This is a book about a world of androids, and in opinion it is brilliant!

31 Jul 2017

29 Jul 2017

I think this book is an easy read for good readers age 8-9 it is not my favourite book and it is a little bit boring but if you like books about robots and things like that then I recommend this book to you.

Robot girl was amazing

08 Aug 2016

It's really cool, it's about some body who is made out of metal which made us use our DNA.

01 Aug 2016

28 Jul 2016

I enjoyed this book. It was a slightly different story to what I usually pick but well worth reading.

27 Jul 2016
