Story:
It is the story of a man who lived alone with his dog. He decided to create a robot to help him in his domestic tasks. The robot became insane, it threw its creator’s dog out of the window. It had just one idea in its head – to get rid of it’s creator, John. It locked him up in a place without water and food and opened the door only after the death of he who had given him life. It then tried to find another family.

Characters: John is 30. His parents are dead so he lives alone in a flat with his dog. He spends all his time making robots, for this reason he has no friends.
Sam is John’s dog.
Nolan is a robot. He was made by John, he is ‘John’s Life’s Work’. He doesn’t understand why he can’t be a normal man with feelings. He’s jealous of Sam, because John loves Sam but not him.
Mr Peters lives with John. He is the one who has money. He finds John funny.
Story:
The story starts with a robot who is called Nolan. He was made to help John with his housework. At the story of the story everything seems to be good, Nolan did his work and John was satisfied with his work. But later on Nolan is no longer happy, he can’t understand why John doesn’t do anything. John tries to explain to him that he is just a robot without any feelings, but Nolan can’t understand it.
One day Mr Peters comes to John, to see Nolan. John wants Nolan to show what he can do, but anything that John tells him to do he doesn’t do it whereas he does things he shouldn’t do. Mr Peters finds it really funny, but Nolan doesn’t like that.
Nolan is very jealous of Sam, so he wants to kill him. He knows that Sam loves cookies, so he goes to the kitchen window, takes the cookies, stands next to the kitchen window and goes out of the window. He dies. John is really sad about it and he wants to stop Nolan, because something seems to be wrong with him. But Nolan doesn’t want to die, so he wants to ‘stop’ John. As John takes Sam into the bathroom, Nolan loses the door and locks it. John tries to get out but he can’t.
Nolan waits for five days. During this time he cleans the apartment lots of times. After the five days, he opens the door and...is John dead, or is he alive?
My Opinion:
I didn’t like this book, because it is science fiction, but it was easy to read.

Title: Let Me Out!
Author: Antoinette Moses
Genre: Science-fiction/Horror
Main Characters:
John is 30. His parents are dead so he lives alone in a flat with his dog. He spends all his time making robots, for this reason he has no friends.
Sam is John’s dog.
Nolan is a robot. He was made by John. He’s “John’s life’s work”. He doesn’t understand why he can’t be a normal man with feelings. He’s jealous of Sam, because John loves Sam but not him.
Mr Peters lives with John. He’s the one who has money. He finds John funny.
Setting:
Story (plot): The story starts with a robot who is called Nolan. He was made to help John with his housework. At the start of the story everything seems to be good, Nolan did his work and John was satisfied wit his work But later on Nolan is no longer happy, he can’t understand why John doesn’t do anything. John tries to explain to him that he’s just a robot without any feelings but Nolan can’t understand it.
One day Mr Peters comes to John, to see Nolan. John wants Nolan to show what he can do, but anything that John tells him to do he doesn’t do it whereas he does things he shouldn’t do. Mr Peters finds it really funny, but Nolan doesn’t like it.
Nolan is very jealous of Sam, so he wants to kill him. He knows that Sam loves cookies, so he goes to the kitchen window and goes out of the window. He dies. John is really sad about it and he wants to stop Nolan, because something seems to be wrong with him. But Nolan doesn’t want to die, so he wants to “stop” John. As John takes Sam into the bathroom, Nolan closes the door and locks it. John tries to get out but he can’t.
Nolan waits for five days. During this time he cleans the apartment lots of times. After the five days, he opens the door and…is John dead, or is he alive?
Opinion: “Let Me Out!” is a book which is good, because there are few characters and the dialogue and words are very simple to understand. Besides, it’s not long so it’s good, and the story is in itself simple to understand.
It’s nice to read, because there is a kind of suspense, because there is no way of knowing what will happen, and you do not think that John, the hero of the book with the robot, Nolan, is going to die. Besides, the book ends with a kind of question, because the man called out by Nolan is going to agree to take the robot or then to refuse. And in either case, what will happen?
It’s also a sad and emotional book with the death of John, killed by his own robot, and the death of the dog Sam, killed by Nolan.
However in this book there is a robot which makes the story unrealistic and I do not really like this in books.

This book is good and not difficult. It’s a sad story, fantasy. It’s a good book because there is action in the story, but it’s sad because the robot is horrible with his friends John and Sam. At the end, the robot kills Sam and John even though John made the robot. It’s an interesting story.
