Reader reviews for The Network Effect

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.41 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.41 / 5 (808 total reviews)

Readers largely praised Network Effect as a successful expansion of the Murderbot Diaries into novel length, highlighting sharper character work, an emotionally richer arc, and the much-enjoyed return of ART. Reviewers noted the humor, themes of identity and corporate power, and a fuller sense of the setting. Some, however, felt the plot sprawled, with action scenes and technical jargon occasionally muddling clarity and slowing the pace. Many advised reading the novellas first, and the audiobook narration by Kevin R. Free drew consistent acclaim. Overall, a strong entry that rewards existing fans, though less ideal as a starting point.

Readers say this book is:
entertaining action-heavy witty heartfelt character-driven immersive jargon-dense uneven pacing rewarding for fans not ideal entry point

From the publisher

WINNER of the Hugo, Nebula and Locus Awards!

The first full-length novel in Martha Wells' New York Times and USA Today bestselling Murderbot Diaries series.

Named a Best of the Year by NPR Book Riot Polygon

"I caught myself rereading my favorite parts... and I can't recommend it enough." --The New York Times

You know that feeling when you're at work, and you've had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot.

Come for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I. you'll read this century.

--

I'm usually alone in my head, and that's where 90 plus percent of my problems are.

When Murderbot's human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action.

Drastic action it is, then.
