The title itself is intriguing enough. But reading the review made it more intriguing. The premise, the comedic exchange and the plot are so promising, it makes me want to read it. The praises as well in Amazon are awesome. Cheers for the good review.

Thanks for the review. It is amazing what someone can come up with in a book, but in years down the road it may be real. It was too bad that the mechanical errors stopped you from giving it 4 stars.

I'm a fan of sci-fi, and I like that this one bends the rules a bit. Interesting concept about AI/emotional attachment. Sounds like this one is quite different from typical books in the genre.

This is one heck of a confusing title. Wouldn't have thought of the book belonging to the Sci fi genre by just looking at the title

I like the premise of the robot Bud, developing feelings. The thought of someone actually wanting to change their body to look like their avitar is interesting.

It's always nice when an author can use such imagery in their descriptions, like "burned his memory like acid," and "electrified cattle prod." I love SciFi, so this looks like an intriguing read. I read the sample and this one will go on my shelf.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked the book. I hope the author gets the errors fixed.

I am excited to read this book. The romance between the doctor and the Android sounds very interesting. I'm not normally a sci-fi fan, but the potential relationship is intriguing.

Your review of this book makes me think it would certainly appeal to sci-fi lovers. Not a book I would personally choose to read but the story sounds interesting. Disappointing about the mechanical errors though.

Bud by the Grace of God is a good medical science fiction. I would say imaginative, yes. Sci-fi lovers will certainly enjoy this. Too bad the book is one in a series,if not, i would have grabbed my own copy at once.

An android in love with a human? I've read something like this before but based on this review it looks intriguing. This is not my typical genre but I 'll give it a shot. Thank you for the review!

The sci/fi story seems fascinating especially where a video maker wants to change his physical body to that of the avatar he uses in his videos. It's also interesting if in the near future, scientists develop robots to the level of not only thinking but feeling like humans. It's good you liked reading this fast paced, action packed, fantastic thriller as you very well desribed it. But sorry for all the professional editing mistakes you encountered in the book. Thanks for the good review and honest rating.

Your review was very helpful and thorough! Thank you and great job! :-) I normally do not read Sci-Fi, but this one seems to have a bit of a personal feel to it, so I may give it a try. You really can't beat $0.99, right?!?! However, I haven't read Book 1 in this series...does that matter? Congrats to the author!
