Publisher's Summary:

Frank has been in a serious car accident and hes missing memories - of the people around him, of the history they share, and of how he came to be in the crash. All he remembers is that he is a lawyer who specializes in fine print, and as he narrates his story, he applies this expertise in the form of footnotes.*

Everyone keeps telling Frank that he was fine before the accident, "just a bit overwhelmed", but as he begins to reclaim his memories, they dont quite jibe with what everyone is telling him. His odious brother Oscar is intent on going into business with an inventively cruel corporation.** Alice, Franks wife, isnt at all like the woman he fell in love with. Shes written a book called Executive X that makes Frank furious, though he isnt sure why. And to make matters even stranger, stored in a closet is a severed finger floating in an old mustard jar that makes him feel very, very proud. As more memories flood in, Franks tightly regulated life begins to unspool as he is forced to face up to the real terms*** and the condition of his life.**** Robert Glancys debut novel is a shrewd and hilarious exploration of freedom and frustration, success and second chances, and whether its worth living by the rules.

* Yes, exactly like this.

** We can't tell you what its called for legal reasons, but believe us, its evil.

*** Which are rarely in his favor.

**** Which is a total mess.

Check "Yes" That You Have Read "Terms and Conditions "

This book is best read with your tongue planted firmly inside your cheek, which is surely how Robert Glancy wrote it. If you've ever secretly grinned at the absurdity of the sheer volume of legal jargon in the fine print of nearly all commercial and financial contracts we encounter every day, this book is for you. Or, if you've ever been tasked with writing rules and regulations for any organization and you find yourself inserting more and more disclaimers to cover every eventuality, you will identify with the plight of the protagonist, who prior to developing amnesia, was responsible for writing "terms and conditions" designed to enable his insurance company, run by his oppressive older brother, to pay as few claims as possible. After an accident stole his memory, he was forced to rely on his wife and his brother/boss to fill in the gaps, but he senses all is not as it seems. Prepare for a hilarious ride as his memory returns in flashbacks. Though the style of this book bothers some readers, I find that its reliance on footnotes and fine print enhances the humor.

Terms and Conditions

I read aa review of this book in the paper and it sounded like something that was very different. It tells the story of a man who has lost his memory in an accident. He's an insurance small print lawyer and he tells of his journey during his recovery but as if he was writing clauses for insurance policies.

It is a bit of a weird format at first but you soon get used to the style and added to which it was a very funny book.

I woudl highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a laugh and who would like to try a slightly different format.

with good comedic touches

I wasn't sure what to expect and had this book on my Kindle for some months before beginning to read it. Once I started reading I spent more time getting through it as quickly as possible than I would normally do.
