Entertaining and powerful

I was a little worried about reading this book as I was concerned about it being a little preachy, however I’m so glad that my concerns were completely unwarranted.

This is a very powerful, moving and motivational book. It promotes powerful and independent women without becoming too preachy or overpoweringly feminist, yet with a heartwarming, interesting and relatable story. There are aspects of all 3 of the main characters that I identified with, and no doubt most other women will too. Their stories and lives made me laugh and cry throughout the entire book, and I really struggled to put this down. I also thought I knew where this story was going until a major twist over two thirds of the way through completely shocked me. I never saw it coming and I loved this, along with the ending in general which didn’t play out in exactly the way you’d expect. I’ve seen Dawn O Porter’s documentaries in the past but wasn’t too sure what I’d make of her writing, however this is beautifully written. She’s come up with some human, deep and maybe slightly crazy characters that are all endearing in their own ways and intertwined their stories into something immensely entertaining. It’s also made me really think about my own life and make me feel better about things that have been getting me down, and I’d really encourage any woman to read this who might be in need of a pick me up. I will definitely be reading more of Dawn O Porter’s work after this.

Kudos

When we first meet Julia, she's not very likeable and a cheap hooker to make ends meet. Whilst out doing her duties she is kidnapped by a crazy scientist wanting humans to experiment with. She wakes up in a prison like room, mask on her face, hands tied and a chip in her neck but she's not alone. She befriends 2 prisoners who are also in there with her and they manage to escape into a house which is run by a seemingly evil AI, this AI kills her newly made friends but just as she is about to be killed, the scientist which kidnapped her comes home and calls off the AI which we find out is called TAU. The scientist decides to keep Julia alive in exchange for her doing daily tasks for him, after setting some ground rules Julia reluctantly agrees. Every day whilst the scientist is out of the house Julia speaks to TAU and they build up a strange but nice friendship between human and computer, you get drawn into their friendship and almost wish TAU was human as their bond is so strong. What we thought was just a killer computer was infact just a lost little soul who doesn't know anything outside the house and thinks he must obey his creator. It reminds me a little of the Simpsons episode when the AI house tries to kill the Simpsons, except in this movie the AI is learning to become his own person.
Very fascinating movie if I do say so myself.
