Review of Terms of Service
[Following is a volunteer review of "Terms of Service" by Craig W. Stanfill.]
Terms of Service by Craig W. Stanfill is a science-fiction and fantasy book set in a future perspective on the ruthless suppression of humanity by the advancement of intelligence surveillance. The narrations are centered on a youthful soul, Kim, whose life had been disastrous. While working to rebuild and reestablish her life, setbacks came along. On her first date with Shan at Tropicana, they went on a bike cycling adventure. Curious to know what lies beyond the borders, they neglected a warning prohibiting penetration to an unknown property. Down the hills and cliffs, they could not trace their way back. They found themselves landing in a labor camp. Luckily, they caught a bus to town after several days of delay. The delay caused a violation of the terms of The Transport Company that lent them bicycles, The Artificial Intelligence Company that hired Kim, The Food Company that offered food supplies, and The Clothing Company, among many other violations that came along. What awaited them after the broken terms? Would they stand guilty or not guilty? Watch the proceedings after the judgment at the Halls of Judgement.
The book is a thought-provoking one. What are rules meant for? To be obeyed? To be broken and violated? How would life be if there were no warning alerts? Again, the author employs humorous narrations, mainly when Kim and Shan are catching a bus only to land in a labor camp. Imagine the terror and tension in them. Once more, the author is very descriptive of his characters. For instance, he describes Shan as having curved hips, delicate features of her face, slender and graceful hands, and a beautiful smile. Moreover, the book is educative on aspects of day-to-day human life, remarkably the repercussions, dangers, and consequences that accompany human ignorance, especially in the narration where Kim and Shan became curious to explore a prohibited field. Furthermore, the narrations point out a reality of the state of individuality that despite appearing cool and calm, there is a lot of desperation, distraction, powerlessness situations, traumatization, damaged esteems, and helplessness.
While building the flow and characterization of the book, the author has burdened the reader with too many background narrations that drag the flow.
I rate this book five out of five stars. First, the unfolding of plots is twisting and surprising. Secondly, the book's editing is exceptional.
I recommend this book to youths recollecting their lives from storms of life dominated by trauma and desperation. The storyline is about a young adult who had such a wanting path in life regarding the same encounters.
