What if life isn't too short? What if life was infinite? What if one occasion could give rise to different scenarios, thereby bringing different outcomes that could either be positive or negative? Worldlines by Adam Guest, Narrates the story of Gary Jackson, detailing the incident that had occurred to him during the summer of 2010, when he was writing his final GSCE exams. It further shed light on Professor Buzzard, a professor at the University College of Southern England.

In his class, Buzzard tells his students to share a life-threatening incident that could have potentially ended their lives. Without much hesitation, Gary shared his narrow escape experience, where he was almost knocked down by a truck.

Aftter a brief story of what happend to Gary, professor Buzzard made a close analysis, analysing what had led to the incident, what could have potentially happened and what couldn't have happened. With much analysis made by the professor, he gives his student an assignment to try to work out why he was talking about it.

This kept Gary in scepticism and curiosity. Moreover, Gary tried to put together what the professor had said and how possible is it for one occasion to lead to a different outcome in different worldlines.

I must say, I enjoyed the book, after reading this, I had to go on some searches to know wheather this was just another arranged play of words and theories, great surprise, I was fascinated by the author's creativity, I believe the author is a genius, because writing sci-fi related books aren't easy. It's a job well done by the author.

Furthermore, I liked the connection of characters and their everyday life activities, it seemed so real, I also felt this book touched other areas in terms of our everyday lives. One doesn't need a special connection on science to understand this book as the author made it clear, readable and understandable and I'd congratulate the author for a job well-done as this pose to be his debut book.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars not because I disliked something about the book, but there were few grammar errors that were pretty much obvious, besides that, the book appeared perfect. I enjoyed the time I spent reading this book it's a novel that would worth your while. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy sci-fi related books and also selective readers wanting to read something casual.

I read this book some time ago, and I really loved it. I agree with you about the fact that writing a science fiction book doesn't sound easy. It's clear that the author did a lot of research and thought a lot about the theme of this book. Thanks for the wonderful review!
