The Mad Scientist's Daughter

Romeo and Juliet with robots.  An at times heartwrenching, bittersweet
and moving tale of a girl and her robot.


When Caterina Novak is just a young girl, her father brings home Finn to be
her tutor.  Finn doesn't eat or feel cold and young Caterina believes he is
a ghost. She soon finds out that Finn is a robot, a one of kind robot who can
feel emotions and even love, that becomes an important part of her life as she
continues to grow up. 


Cat's story was an emotional rollercoaster.  This is a love story with a
sci-fi twist that is set in a post-environmental disaster world.  Cat and
Finn are well-developed characters whose stories take many twists and
turns.  There are also many discussion points brought up about the rights
of artificial intelligence.  The book also moves through a large portion of
time within Cat's life in a smooth way.

This book was received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
