He does go on doesn't he?

The Complete Roderick by John Thomas Sladek
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I wish I liked this book more. It has all the elements that should make a classic:

Robots A dystopian future Social commentary

But sadly the book didn’t work for me. In particular: The attempts to kill Roderick seem aimlessly smashed into the book The authors tendency to call out snatches of conversation detracts from the plot Roderick is a mushy victim, even though his learning would teach him to be a ruthless, greedy misanthrope

The ending did sway me a little but it just couldn’t save the book overall.
