I read about halfway through the book a few years ago and just couldn't finish it. I don't know why, it just lost my interest. Okay, so we have this girl who ends up being turned into a teenage robot and ostracized as a freak... and then I pretty much had the whole plot figured out from there. She's going to meet a hot mech dude, a geeky human dude who wants to go Mech, everyone who's human hates her guts, there's a boatload of evil Christian characters, but since the author is trying to be politically correct, they're called "faithers" instead. Kind of a cross between The Adoration of Jenna Fox and Marked. So of course, Lia or whatever her name is, has to go all rebel, and let me guess, runs away from home to be with a mech rebellion or whatever.

And, as I found from judicious reading ahead, I was about 90% right with my predictions. Afterwards, I just dropped it. For whatever reason, it just bored me.
