Review of Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise
At first, I wasn't really into this book because some parts at the beginning felt a bit drawn-out and dark. But as I kept reading, I was really impressed by how the author managed to flesh out such complex characters, stories, and backgrounds for each person. Those little details weren't just filler; they really added depth to the story. To me, that's a sign of a skilled writer who knows how to keep the reader engaged.
One character that really stood out for me was Beth. She was there right from the beginning, and it was her storylines that started to change my mind about the book. Even though I couldn't relate to the backgrounds at first (especially being from Southeast Asia), the author's vivid descriptions of Beth's experiences slowly made me feel more connected.
This book paints a rich picture of human relationships spanning decades, and the concept of "entanglement" really resonates throughout. It shows how people from different walks of life come together and stay connected despite time and distance. It's about how their diverse and sometimes troubled backgrounds don't stop them from forming bonds, whether it's friendships or romances.
I loved the author's comparison of the book to a grandmother's fruitcake. I had no idea what to expect at first, but as I got into it, there were so many surprises, thrills, and twists. It's the kind of book you need to savor slowly and maybe even reread to fully appreciate its intricate structure.
Overall, the book is well-crafted and polished. But I should mention that it could be triggering for some readers due to its darker themes and explicit content, so it's probably best suited for mature audiences. Still, I think it's those dark moments that make the story feel more real. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5.

Yes. I was even surprised when I started reading further, about how they are all interconnected. It's a great book.Gerry Steen wrote: ↑23 Mar 2024, 09:28 Thank you for this concise review. It is amazing that the most unlikely people can come together and form strong bonds. I guess people always need others to help them strike a good balance and to add meaning to life. It sounds like this book illustrates that fact.

I agree with you. The author seems very competent in crafting a story that appears so complex at the beginning but becomes interconnected over time.Nwansimdi Mercy Someze wrote: ↑25 Mar 2024, 10:27 The gradual immersion into Beth's story and the vivid descriptions helped bridge the gap between unfamiliar backgrounds and your own experiences, making the book more relatable and engaging. This demonstrates the author's skill in creating a compelling and immersive reading experience.

I agree with you, Beth is a key character in this book. The author's ability in this book to tell the multi POV from each character well is evidence of their remarkable writing skills.Anozie Stephanie wrote: ↑28 Apr 2024, 01:32 I think Beth is the main character of this book. The connection of different individuals despite distance is the reality of this book. Different stories of characters, and different situations that hold later on.

You're right. Beth is my favorite character too, and it was also surprising when she became a maid in Bermuda. Thank you for your response.Risper Ouma Lisa Anyango wrote: ↑28 Apr 2024, 03:17 I liked the beginning part of this book because it jumps right into the action with Beth. I quickly fell in love with Beth despite the sad things she encounters and lands her self as a maid unknowingly. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the book.
