I just purchased this book and am so excited to read it! Upon reading the description I can tell this book will be riveting and thought provoking. The description and some of the reviews I've read sort of remind me of the books by Orson Scott Card.

I read this book not long ago and posted a review about it. I enjoyed it, at first I was afraid of a modern version of Orwell's 1984, but I was pleased with how the story played out.

I'm almost finished with the book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I experience escaping from the real world and submerging in the imaginative world of the author. Though the author futurizes negatively about the AIs, I still find his book remarkable!

This book was enjoyable to read. It ponders the different facets of a technologically advanced and highly organized society. The way it explores the uniqueness of humans in this type of society is thought-provoking.

I think the author gives us hints/teases us in his own description of the book, as Kim seems haunted by past traumas. As far as escaping from the real world for awhile, I hear ya! As much as I like escaping though, I'm always having to come back. Real people are what makes this place so interesting.

This book told me about a different world that was very interesting to discover. Still, I prefer our reality and am glad I do not have to live in Kim's world forever; having read about it is enough for me.

I have completed more than half of the book and the world this book introduces us to is not just interesting but also it is terrifying. In some ways it makes us want to live in that society which is more organized and more disciplined. But a fully technology controlled world is something to think about more.

I actually reviewed this book first before realizing it was a book of the month.
It was so interesting


(the reading experience).
I always asked myself "What's going on in the author's mind"?
I actually started to appreciate my "not-so-techy life.

I liked this book a lot. When I started reading it I thought it would be the typical dystopia. However, it takes a totally different tack, because it puts into perspective the defaults that machines are coded for, and the commands they are forced to follow, is confusing, and demeaning, from an AI logic standpoint. . I loved it, and I definitely recommend it.

The book's description mentioned its similarity to George Orwell's 1984, but I have to admit that I was hesitant to read Terms of Service. I thought it would be an utterly depressing dystopian novel. However, I am glad I ended up reading it. Yes, there were many depressing elements in the story, but there was also a lot of humor, love, and friendship also. The author showed both the ugliness and the beauty of life and the human condition.

I read and wrote a review on this book recently. I found it to be a decent dystopian novel, with an interesting world that the author clearly put lots of time and thought into, judging by all the little details. This book is the first of the series, and without spoiling anything, I can assure you that it lays the foundation for a compelling story of a rebel's journey and entices readers to follow along.

I got interested in the book because of the title and description and all I could ask my self was hold the title of a book could be so direct. After purchasing it, I wasn’t disappointed from reading this book. Apart from the fact that it was slow paced but I believe the plot was great.
