After being a little bit disappointed by the first book, I thought that perhaps Wesley would have learned from his mistakes (i.e: writing a book where very little actually happens.) and at first I thought that he had as. This book seemed to have a real obstacle that the main character will be trying to defeat throughout the book, in fact, it even introduced a 'B plot' that also involves the main character tackling a completely different problem. My heart sank when I found out that, once again, Wesley prefers to focus most of the story on how perfect is robot wife is and how she cooks, cleans, wears a whole wardrobe of clothes for him and then has sex with him on a daily basis. In between these long, drawn out and extensively described scenes; Wesley does manage to slip in a few paragraphs every now and then to try and nudge the story along, but even then most of the time dedicated to the plot is predictable and not much happens. In fact, I think near the end, Wesley realised that the plot was going nowhere and just wrapped it all up in a neat little package for us. No real climax, no 'final battle'; nothing interesting whatsoever. The first book was more or less the same as this, in fact it's almost exactly the same, I felt like I had read the same book twice. The real problem with this book is that Wesley got a lot of criticism after 'His Robot Girlfriend' was published because it was too boring and very little happened; so why didn't he listen? Did he honestly think we wanted more endless descriptions of clothes? This book had potential, but it's so sad to see that this is the end result. And the humour isn't that funny either.
