Summary

What's worse than a child with a magnifying glass, a garden full of ants, and a brilliant mind full of mischief?

Try Al, a well-meaning but impish artificial intelligence with the mind of a six-year-old and a penchant for tantrums. Hope Takeda, a lab assistant charged with educating and socializing Al, soon discovers that day care is a lot more difficult when your kid is an evolving and easily frightened A.I.

When Al manages to access the Internet and escape the lab days before his official unveiling, Hope and her team embark on a mission to contain him - before he causes any real trouble.

Soon the NSA is on Al's back, the US Army is fighting a brigade of mass-produced robots, and a wannabe cyberterrorist is looking to silence Al permanently. After months spent "raising" Al, Hope knows she's running out of time - and she's not sure she'll be able to protect him. Will she manage to control the unruly A.I. and quell a global crisis, or will Al outsmart them once and for all?

It gave me a few laughs and I enjoyed the story. I didn’t really enjoy the narrator!

Fun but a bit predictable

I loved this so much. It made me laugh, kept me interested and I'd highly recommend it.

Entertaining, funny and geeky

The concept of AI going wild and trying to destroy the world has been done over and over. Despite that the characters and the writing was witty and at times funny which saves the book from its lack of originality. One issue was the repetitive he said / she said which became annoying over time. It could be the case that was due to the way the narrator read it. Also the narrator had a small lisp which prevented me from getting into the story completely. I would have given this 3.5 if there was such an option as the book was pretty decent.

Fun but done before
