The story and the characters were well-done and well-written. I loved the android, but I had a lot of trouble sympathizing with Lloyd. The reason I gave the book three stars overall instead of four was that Lloyd’s voice damn near ruined it for me. I almost put it down several times and only continued due to the quality of the writing, hoping the voice would get better. It didn’t. It was so halting, nasal, and sometimes nearly sniveling that it made my skin crawl. The sex scenes, which were nicely-written, were made cringe-worthy by Lloyd’s overacting. I probably should have read the book instead of listened to it.
