Reviews for Machines for Feeling

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Rather a strange book. Not terribly entertaining or well written, but still interesting in that it tells the story of three young people who are all misfits and are trying to make there way in life after a childhood spent in a children's home. They each have had traumatic and cruel early years before being taken from their parents. There time of regimentation, mental and sometimes physical cruelty and deprivation in the "home" only adds to their problems and it is quite obvious that they are not equipped for life "outside" About the middle of the book I did have some hope that they would survive but it soon became apparent that the book would have a sad ending, and it did.
