I enjoyed how the adventure brought the friends, with their different personalities closer together. I also thought the human characters were always quick to anger and I felt the mechanicals showed more humanity, which made me think about how the humans could learn from these robots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My favourite mechanical in the story is Round Rob, with his barrel shaped body he was always rolling around &amp; losing his head which made me laugh.<\/p>\n<p>I would recommend this book to anyone who liked Peter Bunzl\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Cogheart (another good read), likes adventures and likes stories that make you think. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A review by my 10yr old \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tin is set in a world where mechanicals are self aware.
