The tiff between the AI called Sophia and a human named Alex Fine to, suffering from high functioning downsyndrome, sounds very interesting. Also, the existence of a AI named Sopia in the real world makes the scenario all the more interesting.

Thank you for the detailed review.

Losing Normal definitely sounds like a science fiction read I could one day read. It stinks though that there were noticeable spelling mistakes that made you enjoy this book less. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind if I get the chance to read it anytime soon.

This sounds like it is a good novel. Thank you for such a great review I will keep this book in mind. I was never really much of a sci-fi reader but the last few that I have read have really changed the course of my interest in the genre.

The premise sounds really interesting! However, it's such a disappointment to hear that the book was not edited, since it's quite the turn-off. Thanks for the lovely review!

Thanks for the honest review! It seems Losing Normal is an engaging sci-fi novel that will surely captivate it's readers. However, the book could have benefited from a second round of editing.

I love that the protagonist has is unexpected and the fact that he is different makes him able to resist the AI control. I also love the grassroots rebellion element, using libraries and bookstores as centers of operation. I'm glad that ya novels are choosing unique protagonists and heroes, breaking down walls and ending stigmas.

Great review! Cool concept for a book and I will definitely add this one to my list. It is a bummer about the editing but most of the time I think I just read right through those types of errors as I'm caught up in the story. Sophie = Impractical Jokers for my boys.
