POSITRONIC MAN, THE

Rating:
Summary: He's no Data
Review: I found this book to have a fascinating concept that fell short of expectation. Except for Little Miss and Sir, Andrew's family never developed well as we sped through generations. I thought it remarkable how NDR become increasingly more manipulative as he became more "human." Interesting worldview. I wonder why the authors' hadn't explored a marriage for Andrew to see just how he handled the real world...

Summary: A great book that teaches many things about human feelings
Review: I read this book some years ago. As long as I remember, is the only science fiction book that I have read. I love it, the story is so deep that I soon forgot I was reading I SF book. It is so tender, and you can think about Andrew Martin as a real human being. I strongly recomend this book to anyone who wants to read a marvellous story.

Summary: My favorite by Asimov
Review: I'm a huge fan of Isaac Asimov and I've read his classic Foundation trilogy countless times, but this was my favorite. This book has things to say not just about hard SF but about the human condition as well.

Rating:
Summary: The original is better
Review: Not a bad novel, but I found the original Asimov much more compelling. This book seems longer solely for the sake of being longer. The original story is available in several compilations, such as The Complete Robot.

Summary: Some Good Reading (yummm!)
Review: Read The Positronic Man. It is a story that pulls you into it and makes you truly care about a robot named Andrew. This book really works your imagination. After you read the book, go see the movie "Bicentennial Man" with Robin Williams and the little girl from the Pepsi commercials. It is one of the best literature to screen adaptations I have ever seen.

Summary: Touching story of Robot who wants to be YOU as a man
Review: The human in the book wants to live longer with the help of artifitial units Andrew provides and their body is becoming like a robot. On the other hand, Andrew (positronic robot) wants to replace his mechanical body with more human-like-body, Andorid. Even, he shortens his life in order to obtain the status of Man not Robot. His desire to be equal with human friends like Little Miss, Gerge, Paul, and others is so strong and touching. People around Andrew throughout the story are showing a special care and affection toward Andrew as a free robot and are treating him as one of their close friends

Rating:
Summary: As intriguing and compelling as the original
Review: THE POSITRONIC MAN expands and fleshes out the original short story THE BICENTENNIAL MAN,and in doing so,makes for fine reading.Highly recommended.
