I think these books are starting to be a guilty pleasure. I am not sure what makes them appealing to a 60 year old woman. I know I am not their target audience. I like the insecurity mixed with confidence of the Murderbot, and his willingness to help people, even at his own peril. Reader should beware that there is some rough language in the book, and violence, so these aren't for kids. Still, I will probably read more of them.
