Summary
In order to stay human, Audrey has built a moat around herself; a moat of books, music, and dreams. It makes her different from the echoes: the sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble and work for the humans.
Daniel is an echo - but he's not like the others. He has feelings he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in danger, he's determined to save her.

Slow going
Drawn out until too thin. Narrated too coldly, as if disinterested in the plot. Thanks for reading!

A modern day Pinnochio
I enjoyed this read. It's a light, action packed, often funny and probably not as far fetched as we like to think......

Matt Haig excellent as ever
I have enjoyed each and every book of Matt Haigs since I discovered his work here on audible. His books are mirrors to the soul. He has the ability to make traverse the entire range of human emotions. I would love a sequel to this book in particular.

Future thinking
What made the experience of listening to Echo Boy the most enjoyable?
Another great read by Matt Haig. This book is not normally the kind of book I would normally read. However I was intrigued, and have read other titles by the same author. I really enjoyed listening to the Eco Boy and would recommend this to anybody who likes stories set in the future.

Good but feels unfinished - more to come?
Assume that this is the first of a series of books in this setting. I enjoyed it, but too many ends are left untied.

Intelligent view of the future
Great listen while driving. Highly enjoyable! Interesting view of the future and the author has done his research.

Only ok
What aspect of Jane Collingwood and Thomas Judd ’s performance might you have changed?
To be honest didn't enjoy the narration of Jane Collingworth. Her voice grated a little and she was too clipped with the words she was reading.
Any additional comments?
I am not sure if this is a book for teenagers rather than adults. Perhaps I should have found out before. I think perhaps aimed at the teens market.

Not Matt Haig's best
I generally really enjoy Matt Haig's books, The Humans is one of my favourites, this one was an OK listen, but definitely not amazing. It did keep me hooked til the end though so I can't say it's not worth a listen.
