Convince us to read the book: Read it.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of this book is that in the society in this book it is a lot like ours, almost exactly the same, but there are certain robots made to please teenage boys. It's basically our society in 20 years.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was disappointed with this book because it wasn't that different of a story. It was a story about every other family in today's world, yet they throw in a robot that is built to please rich boys. That is all there is to it, and of course a boy has to save the robot from being taken away. It's robot love.
Comments: I found that the companions were basically a symbol in the book for us to help realize that we are all too dependent on technology these days. I found that compelling, yet it was easy to tell what was going to happen in the plot.
Cover: I found the cover very odd and inviting. I mean, why was a girl inside a cardboard box with foam all around her? I just had to find out more.
