Robyn Robotron's Reviews:

It’s like the Double Dare obstacle course in book form!

What’s a good way to get your kids interested in life science?  This book about gross stuff that’s printed in purple and green is a good start.

Oh, so there really is such a thing?

Yes, dear Meg, there is a tesseract.  And I can’t remember what else I wrote for this post, but here’s the link to my review again.

Go ahead, judge a book by its cover.

  When my fiance started reading for pleasure again, but before he focused on hard sci-fi, he picked books on how attractive he found the cover art.  And here’s the link to my review.

Explosions are better in motion.

Normally, I’m not into guys like Jamie Hyneman, but I’m sure falling for him in this cover photo.  Here’s my review.

The true crime here is lackadaisical proofreading.

January 18, 2014 by Robyn Robotron

Did Lizzie Borden brutally murder her parents with a hatchet?  Did anyone bother to proofread this book?  What happened to the rest of this post, including the link to my review?  We may never know.

Don’t let my obsession with equality turn you off of a really sweet book.

  All of my posts are missing most of what I wrote, and I can’t remember what I said at the time.  Here’s the link to my review.
