I would have given the book a 4 out of 4 too had their not been many spelling errors and the ending had a better plot twist. Otherwise the book was indeed a page turner.NetMassimo wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 06:53 I rated this novel 4 out of 4 stars.

Did you get the revised version? A lot of us gave it a 3 instead because of the amount of errors. I agree with the rest, though! It was the first book I've read about the multiverse and it really made me research more. However, it's the lesson/message that makes me want to reread.

Nevertheless, it is a truly great addition to the sci-fi genre.
Something I really loved was that it never felt like the author lost control of the plot, which would have been an easy mistake to make given the number of worldlines and corresponding characters there are.

Woah, I haven't thought about it like that but you have a point. They're the same people at the back of my head but ultimately they're all different because of the circumstances they're in. But regarding the fact that they're basically the same person in every AU, it is amazing how the author was able to sort of give each them core personalities.Raluca_Mihaila wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 02:42 I rated it 3 out of 4 due to the number of errors, otherwise I found it very engaging. I loved how the author build the characters using information from various lines. He managed to create the storyline by presenting Garry & his friends during various scenarios. I found that very exciting! They are basically the same people, even if they made different decisions during their lives.

Some of us gave it a 3 instead because of the amount of errors but I guess it got revised already. Anyway, I feel the same way! The author truly took the "what if you made different choices at some points of your life... what would happen?" idea, ran with it, and gave us this story. I also love that the fiction beyond the science facts wasn't overwhelming, unlike other sci-fi stories.Unsullied wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 07:27 I gave this book a perfect 4 out of 4 stars rating. It was a fascinating and exciting story with very crazy ideas, for lack of a better word. I particularly loved the professor's ideas and the thought of same action and different decisions our outcomes in different worlds.

That's the aspect I love about it the most! I won't forget the outcome of the first worldline and how heartbreaking it is that sometimes things just won't go your way no matter how much you work hard for it. It's like playing games with the physics and universe itself and you get the short end of the stick.NetMassimo wrote: ↑01 Jul 2021, 06:53 I rated this novel 4 out of 4 stars.
