Review of Terms of Service
This book takes place in the household of protagonist Kim, an AI trainer who soon comes to learn a lot about her past and why she is the way that is is in her present day.
After getting into a considerable amount of trouble, Kim predicts the consequences of her actions but is surprised to find that she was rewarded in some twisted way for her actions only that one of her predictions is correct; Everything is a trap.
The more Kim learns the less she likes the life that she has led and starts to rebel after learning some harsh truths about why certain things happened to her resulting in a meltdown.
These truths opened Kim's eyes to things that she never saw before and the worst part of it all is in the end her protégé share's a similar start to life giving the feel of history repeating itself but is this the end for them both?
What a page-turner, I honestly could not put the book down after chapter 5.
With all the changes happening in the world it is easy to get lost in this book and find some similarities to reality. This was by far the most intriguing book I've come across in my short life, which is saying a lot since I have no bias toward genres.
Let me say, the descriptions the author made regarding characters, work life, appliances, etc, are very well done as it makes it easy to place yourself in the book or read it as though it is indeed real or makes you wish you are watching a film on tv based on this book without any changes made by directors.
The best part about the book is that it is so intriguing to the point where you might start wanting to imagine what life would be like if your refrigerator started giving you attitude or end up talking to the characters as though they are standing in front of you.
It blows me away how much Craig W. Stanwill.made me feel he could be a modern-day Nostradamus given that there are so many changes coming to our technologies; Cars driving themselves, the ease of cloning your old iPhone to your new one; Who is to say that our refrigerators won't be able to communicate with the stove and microwave-oven to have dinner done by the time we get home, in the future.
I will also have you know that the author is quite the comedian as well, I've had many laugh-out-loud moments while reading this book.
Never mind how organized life is in the book Terms of Service., there is a perfect work-life balance and like anything, in reality, there is office politics. What is humanity without bickering with one another?
I enjoyed how futuristic and advanced the book is just like google and Siri listen in on our conversations, there is AI in the book that does the same.
See why I said in the beginning, it's very easy to find similarities between the fiction of this book and real life.
This is an absolute must-read.
Of course like anything in life there are lessons to be learned in this fictional book, there is a lot that can be taken away from the author's style of writing, as every person interprets things differently we would all view the book differently; I am, however, very confident that one way or another the author's message will get across, fictional or not.

Positive aspects
The books will have you laughing, and at some points, you will start to wonder if this is actually a fictional book or a prediction of life in the future given all the current technology changes.
Negative aspects
Terms Of Service was such a page-turner that I was mortified when the book ended on a cliffhanger especially since it's such a page-turner.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
Justification of rating
I only put the book down because my kid needs to eat.
Recommendation
I would highly recommend this book to readers of all genres, matter-of-fact, Terms of Service will be a wonderful gift for someone graduating from Tech school looking to make some changes in daily life or it could be a great Christmas gift!
Errors
I could not find any grammatical errors in this book, there were sex scenes but nothing too erotic that a 7-year-old could figure out.
