Review by Zoe Sauter -- Worldlines by Adam Guest
[Following is a volunteer review of "Worldlines" by Adam Guest.]
Worldlines by Adam Guest is a sci-fi novel that suggests the theory of multiple possible universes, or Worldines. Gary, a young man in his twenties, becomes deeply interested in this multiverse theory and suddenly finds himself acutely aware of its impacts. He recalls a time when he almost died, and how there could be multiple universes in which he could have died, or simply hurt himself, with a million other possibilities in between. Throughout the book, we are exposed to a few of Gary’s different Worldlines, all of which have different living situations, but somehow are all impacted and connected by each other. When one worldline accidentally causes another worldline to commit a serious crime, all versions of Gary must work together to prove his innocence. This thrilling story explores theories that seem to be considered fantastical, but could very well be true. Worldlines uses real scientific thoughts to bring to light one of the most debatable phenomena of our lifetime; the theory of multiverses.
I loved this book for so many reasons! It’s honestly such a cool theory, and the fact that it could be real makes it that much more enthralling. Not only did it talk about multiverses, but it also dabbled in an immortal theory. Because there are so many possible universes, it hypothesized that there has to be one where we never die. One in which we continue to live as others die around us as well, but stay alive in their respective universes. The author did an exceptional job explaining these theories while also incorporating some science talk such as quantum mechanics and protons without making me feel stupid. It was so well written that I thoroughly enjoyed the story while also feeling like I was learning something very valuable.
I also really liked how the author included little things that were the same in a few of the universes. For example, Gary’s opinions. In each worldline, he visited the same bar and he had the same opinion on it. He thought it was sticky and rundown, but had the really good food. It made the connections between each worldline that much more evident.
On top of that, It’s very well written, exceptionally edited, and if you don’t like the ending of one worldline, you’re given multiple others in which there are different endings, so everyone is happy. I usually find myself making up other endings in my head when I don’t like the ending in the book, but with this story, I didn’t have to because it was done for me!
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this book. Other than a few grammar errors, which weren’t severe, it’s perfect. Therefore, I am giving Worldlines a 4 out of 4 stars. The theories brought up interested me very much and the overall story was so easy to fall in love with.
I recommend this book to people who love fantasy and science and who have a soft spot for supernatural theories. It’s such a cool way of thinking and something I think everyone should read cause it does make you think about our universe and own lives respectively. It’s also got its romantic parts, so people who are a fan of love stories would adore Worldlines.
