by Tanith Lee
This was so much more than I expected. I loved it.My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
Jane lives a pampered and privileged life, the only child of a wealthy and influential woman. She's lonely, insecure and immature. She has no real friends, just people who mainly seem to take pleasure in bullying her. One day, she encounters a robot minstrel, one in a new line of highly realistic, a...
So, this is my first Tanith Lee, and it was suggested as a robot book when I was asking for them. And I really, really loved this one. It's about so much more than robots, or even robotic love - although, damn, there is a lot of human/robot lovin' going on in here. No, there's so much detailed...
I remember loving this as a teen.. I still love this book--a lot of books I loved back as a young reader don't hold up but this did on reread.

Even Jane's voice, which I perhaps shouldn't have liked, normally, worked so well. Honestly, I think I'm still too ove...
BOOOO to me for not having read this young adult page turner during my teens.Well, falling in love with a robot isn't that odd. Considering..*ahem*.. that I had a serious crush on big eyed, wasp waisted comic character Cutter from Elfquest when I was eleven or so years old.. Considering that we fall...
