The Mad Scientists Daughter
Ratings2
Average rating3.5
A stand-alone novel from the author of *The Assassin's Curse* and *The Pirate's Wish*.
"Cat, this is Finn. He’s going to be your tutor."
He looks and acts human, though he has no desire to be. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection. A billion-dollar construct, his primary task now is to tutor Cat. As she grows into a beautiful young woman, Finn is her guardian, her constant companion... and more.
But when the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, however, Finn struggles to find his place in the world.
Following her acclaimed Young Adult debut for Strange Chemistry, *The Assassin's Curse*, the very talented Cassandra Rose Clarke moves on to more adult themes, in a heartbreaking story of love, loss... and robots.

You know how they don't say don't judge a book by its cover? I know I judged it based on the title. I really thought I'd get a actionesk piece from the mad scientist's daughters point of view.
Instead I got a very touching life/love story of a daughter of a (mad) scientist.
I grabbed the sample off amazon. By the end of it I needed to find out what happened next so picked up the book right away. I'm not sure if I would recommend this book to a lot of people, but I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters. Especially some of the secondary ones. Things were described in such a way that I could believe I was there experiencing the same thing.
