Wow, nice to see the editing has improved after the review! This concept seems super intriguing, this is definitely a book for me. I understand that there would be repetition, I wonder if that's avoidable at all in this case. Thanks for this great review!
Happy reading! :techie-studyingbrown:

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

Post by Andra2005 »

This is one of the best books I ever read. I totally agree with everything you said and yes the repetition was a bit annoying but I think you, as a writer, can’t just jump over these parts. It is a very intriguing book, full of suspense, that should be on your must-read list.
It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone.

I read the novel, and I agree about it being intriguing. I liked how events influenced the protagonists' lives and how much depended on how they faced the consequences of those events. Thank you for your great review!

This book is only enjoyable if you love to read and watch stories out of the normal things. The author has tried but needs to improve.

An amazing science fiction story on the multiverse theory is nicely presented in the book "Worldlines" by Adam Guest. The story follows Gary, who commits murder whilst lucid dreaming. Interestingly, his girlfriend’s mother says she saw him committing the murder. It appears that this is an entertaining book to read.

I loved worldlines when I read it! I actually thought the repetition was a creative touch personally, and enjoyed the deja Vu it gave me.

I am currently reading this book (I'm halfway through). I agree with you on the repetitions of the same scenario in each "wordline," some maybe unnecessary and it wouldn't hurt the flow of the story if they were removed. Nevertheless, it is a thought provoking book and it deserves a 4 stars! Thank you for your detailed review!

The book sounds as A very interesting story. However,the idea of multi universe and two Gary's would cause total confusion in my mind. It's a wonderful review.thank you very much.

I would love to read the book. It's a sci-fi book. The story of Gary who thought he committed a crime in a dream but in reality he did the crime. How he will face the consequences and how this new reality will change his life. It's an interesting concept. It's a great review.

Something went wrong so I am writing the comment one more time.
I have read and reviewed the book myself and I agree with your observations.
One thing that I disagree with is that you say Gary from one universe unintentionally kills Michelle in another. There is no information at all as to why whatever Gary killed Michelle, so we do not know if it was intentional or not. As a matter of fact, I believe this is what is missing in the story: the universe where there is an explanation for the killing: intentional or not.
Thank you for revealing this to me!
