The Android's Dream




It's been a while since I've reviewed a book. Come to think of it, I don't think I've written a book report since 10th grade. This should be interesting.

When I was thinking of how to write this post I kept thinking that I need to describe the book as a mash-up of two other iconic books or movies. For some reason I have it in my head, which I must admit deviates from reality from time to time, that this is how most professional reviewers review books and movies. Now that I have that notion in my head I, of course, couldn't write this review any other way.

The problem is what two pieces of pop culture do I pick that will fully sum up this book? You see I really liked this book. It was by far the best book I've read in a long, long time. I generally read books that I like the story but the writing isn't going to make the book a classical piece of literature. Not only was Android's Dream a clever and fast paced story, but the writing was also very good. I liked it so much that I am actually keeping the book. Normally I like to give away the books that I like so that someone else can enjoy the story too.

What are the two iconic pieces of pop culture that sum up this book? I can only think of two movies that could describe this book, it's The Bourne Identity meets The Fifth Element.

If you don't like either of those movies don't let this hack of a review sway you away from reading this book. The fact that I am writing this post should contest to how much I really liked the book.
