Customer Reviews

Not Quite Human the book

Not quite human is about a robot who is sent to high school. I enjoyed the main character,Chip, because he was funny.The book was interesting because everyone thought that Chip stole things from the school,burn the lunchroom,and stole the computer and trophies, but it was not Chip,it was another student.I would give this book 5 stars and would suggest you read this if you like sort of sci-fi.

Chip's Troubles

Chip is a android going into school for his first year. He has a couple bugs in his programs and causes problems with his life. Somebody steals Mr.Duckworth's trophies, the school's computers and sets the kitchen ovens on fire. Mr.Duckworth and Mr.Gutman believes Chip is the criminal. Chip also has some conflict with a "bully" named Jake Blocker. The principal (Mr.Gutman) hires one of the students to become friends with Chip and find out if he is the one who did all the crimes. The students name was Tad Taggart. Tad pays Jake to buy some floppy disks and then tries to frame Jake for the crime of the computer. Jake and Chip figure out that Tad is trying to frame them so they go over to Tad's house to try to prove Tad is the one who did all the crimes. They go to Tad's house and they try to get it out of him but no use. They here a beeping noise and it comes from inside the wall they find a hole in the wall where Tad was hiding the computer, the trophies and some canned foods from the schools kitchen. The police came over and arrest Tad and set Chip and Jake free. Chip and Jake become friends. Chip still has some bugs until he can finally act completely normal.

Amazing!

I thought this was the best book ever. I own it and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series, that's if I can get my hands on them. If you are into books about robots, I suggest picking this one up! It's the best you can find.

Best Book Ever!

I loved this book and it is the best book I have ever read. I'm going to bye all the others and read the whole series. Thanks!

Oooops!

Man that robot messes up everything! His motors are whacked-out, he can't even strreeettcch the truth, and worst of all, he doesn't know how to talk to a girl, even when she WANTS to be his "friend."
