Machine Man by Max Barry Book Summary

Scientist Charles Neumann loses a leg in an industrial accident. It's not a tragedy. It's an opportunity. Charlie always thought his body could be better. He begins to explore a few ideas. To build parts. Better parts.

Prosthetist Lola Shanks loves a good artificial limb. In Charlie, she sees a man on his way to becoming artificial everything. But others see a madman. Or a product. Or a weapon.

A story for the age of pervasive technology, Machine Man is a gruesomely funny unraveling of one man's quest for ultimate self-improvement.

Read it now!. Really good easy read. It was funny, relate able, touching and current. Highly recommend if your looking for a good weekend page turner.

Gripping... Full of twists. Very polished and I could stop reading it. I really enjoy the first person perspective that he writes the novel. There are subtleties of satire that you will catch when you reread pages. It felt like a combination of Animal Farm and Bicentennial man, will an ending that both surprises and seems inevitable.

Amazing. I don't ever write book reviews but this book in particular was one I definitely had to write because it was that good.. Your definitely doing yourself a favor by reading this, amazing storyline

It's great. Seriously

Great book. Another great and unique read by Barry - he never disappoints! A real page turner, couldn't put it down!

MECHINE MAN. Wondering how it would end gave me reason to continue reading. It appeared that someone should have proofread the text. Many thoughts or ideas seemed to be disjointed or unrelated to the prior text. Time to perform a change or function seemed way to short. Changes from one situation to another seemed completely illogical, probably that is what you wanted to do. Unfinished or half sentences or just on word may have had meaning for you but was distracting to me. One good thing that can be said is you did give good feeling of the personality of your characters. You do have a lot of crazy ideas which may have made this novel interesting to others. I would not buy another one of your books or recommend this one. May your future efforts make many happy. Richard

Amazing. I couldn't believe where this story ended up from where it started. So many twists and turns, it keeps getting exciting and the ending is unbelievable. A great read.

More Than The Sum. I received this book last night after I'd pre-ordered it. I was so excited. I popped onto the author's Twitter page to voice my excitement. I compared my joy for books to that of drugs. He replied, kindly advising me not to inhale the book. I might as well have. Less than 24 hours later I'd already finished the work and begun anticipating how much I'd enjoy reading it a second time. Maybe I'm biased. After coming back from Afghanistan with friends wired with the latest prosthetics, or perhaps just as someone fascinated with my own mortality in the face of my next deployment, I was already obsessed with prosthetics. I, myself, thought the current models were silly trifling things, only primitively trying to recreate forward motion. We have powerful computers smaller than the size of a deck of cards. Couldn't we do more with something the size of a leg? Read Max Barry's book. Perhaps to find out what it means to be human. Perhaps to find out what it means to be machine. More than likely, you'll discover what it means to be more than the sum of one's parts.

Okay. Okay.....not as great as Syrup!!

Am. I. Wrong?. There are many books, fictitious and otherwise, where you start with a flawed protagonist who, by the end, has overcome his or her barriers to a predictable happy ending. This is not one of those books. Max does a great job, via writing style, conveying a thought process both foreign and familiar - The author presses on concerns about the web between research, development, and politics in a way starkly valid to today's technological climate. With well thought out technologies and a good grasp of what could be possible, while "out there", this novel strikes closer to home than some may think. One of the best books I've read - in which, by far, the most unique protagonist I've identified with has come to light through these pages. I have to wonder, by the end: Am I wrong?
