The Marvelous Mechanical Man by Rie Sheridan Rose
3.0
Another fast and easy read. Josephine Mann is down to her last two dollars when she bumps into Professor Alistair Conn. The professor is in need of a lab assistant, and Jo desperately needs a job. Obviously, it's the Hand of Fate.
Profesor Conn is not only handsome and skilled, he’s also created a marvelous automaton who comes to life with a little help from Jo. The thing is there’s other scientist interested in stealing Phaeton (our robot).
It was an easy, pleasant book perfect for commute. It’s short, easy to read and rather optimistic. Also, it’s well edited. On the other hand, the story is very predictable and a bit naïve. The romance is a bit awkward and juvenile.
In the end, I wasn’t thrilled with this book. If, however, you’re a parent and look for something nice with almost no violence for your children, it’s a book worth considering.
