Book Reviews of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: 1800 Headwords (Oxford Bookworms Library)
Book Review: Pointless
Summary: 1 Stars
This book starts out intriguingly but do not be fooled. It explores none of the moral issues of any of the topics it brings up, like artificial moods and the ethics of killing robots. The plot is riddled with holes and pointless tangents and they're so obviously incongruent that it impedes you from losing yourself in the book. The characters are bland, underdeveloped, and change to fit the underdeveloped plot. I only finished this book because I was hoping the ending would make it worth it, maybe some shocking twist, but the ending was one of the worst I've ever read. This book is pointless and I would recommend, if you're still set on reading it, to just get it out of the library.

Summary of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: 1800 Headwords (Oxford Bookworms Library)
San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. People live in half-deserted apartment buildings, and keep electric animals as pets because so many real animals have died. Most people emigrate to Mars - unless they have a job to do on Earth. Like Rick Deckard - android killer for the police and owner of an electric sheep. This week he has to find, identify, and kill six androids which have escaped from Mars. They're machines, but they look and sound and think like humans - clever, dangerous humans. They will be hard to kill. The film Blade Runner was based on this famous novel.General Books
