As many times as His Robot Girlfriend is criticized as an adolescent male fantasy or for being sexist, a surprising number of women give it high ratings. I sometimes get comments about the political leanings of the book as well (of which I didn’t know it had any). I think a lot of both of those are down to what people bring with them into the story. That’s not to say there isn’t a fair bit of male fantasy in there. ‘Cause there is.
You can pick up His Robot Girlfriend free on iBooks. And thanks to everyone who took the time to rate it.
Loved it, bought His robot wife. Hope to see that 3rd book from Patience’s perspective soon as it will fill in some much needed insight into how she figured stuff out.
