Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise is a suspenseful literary work by John K Danenbarger about crime, tragedy, and sadness. It illustrates how a person's childhood—their experiences, their behaviours, and perhaps even the totality of their childhood—have the greatest impact on their lives. The book describes how one might become oblivious to a loved one's or somebody believed to be family. Overall, the author demonstrates how the family is the fundamental unit of the family, protecting its members and providing them with meaning and purpose. The characters in the novel are shown as having a wide variety of well-developed personalities, exactly like our society would be in reality; they are all going about their daily lives, even though some of the events overlap.

The novel appears to centre around Geena Ness, as it began with her resolve to meet up with her long-lost brother and concludes with her attempt to compensate for her family's traumas with happy pictures and stories for her descendants. The story begins with her mother, Beth, in 1984, and how Beth met Joe, a gay stripper who saved her life. Joe became family and Geena's real friend, as well as close friends with her father. Kevin, a police officer and later detective, entered the story as Beth's husband and Geena's father. Davis, Geena's younger adopted brother, who prefers the nickname cricket, was also introduced. Geena appeared in the tale as a daughter returning from university and quickly became acquainted with Joe. Each of these people has their backstory, both before and after they became a family. As a result, they are regarded as the major protagonists of the novel, which concluded in 2044 with her final attempt to reunite what remained of the family.

I enjoyed how the author gave the book just the right amount of tension by explaining each chapter of the narrative with just enough details to keep the plot moving and nothing more, just to show that various characters had varying knowledge of different parts of the tale. By connecting every aspect of the tale, which only made sense in its entirety after the novel was finished, the many characters became essential to the overall plot, and we, the readers, became the genuine detectives. I enjoyed how the author used several personalities, who all came from different backgrounds and had their issues, to make them seem genuine, fully formed, and interwoven with one another.

I disliked nothing about this book.

I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5. The book was quite thorough. However, if a reader doesn't read this attentively and completely, the reader may become lost in the richness of the unique lives of the book's characters. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in suspense, murder, and tragedy.
