About this listen
Meet Arty PA3025.He’s a robot, and he’s depressed. Unemployed and horribly obsolete, his future looks bleak - and that’s just what he tells his programmer-cum-therapist, Knickers.
But then he meets Madeline, an ornery senior with a pair of arthritic cats and a fear of modern electronic accoutrements. They team up, an outdated robot and a senile old woman, to begin together a quest for relevance in an all too cold and uncaring world.

Short, sweet and makes you think
Arty is an artificial being who is very 'robotic', he likes to stick to his routine, he knows who and what he is, and he believes that nothing and nobody can change it. Until he meets Madeline, an elderly lady who lives with her two cats. Together, they form an unlikely friendship when Arty is sent to do charity work and look after her.
I did like this book, I do feel that the audiobook format was the best for me. The story was short and sweet, and it left me wondering if artificials do have, or will have, 'souls' in the future. The narrator's voice for Madeline was perfect, but I do feel like it was hard to differentiate Arty from the other characters, and it took me a while to realise which gender Arty was. All that aside, the story was good, and the narrator had a good voice, some narrators are montone and boring, but in my opinion, there was none of that here!
I did receive a complimentary Audible code from the narrator of the audiobook. I was under no obligation to leave a review, and all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own and are unbiased.
