I think some sci-fi stories are too science heavy for the average audience. I look forward to reading this and hopefully will be able to follow the science.

My greatest accomplishment is that I raised two daughters that love to read.

Knowing what would happen before it happens could be a great gift to have and a great opportunity. I would love to read and probably understand more about this particular sci-fi story as it somehow got me confused.

When you mentioned quantum physics, I immediately frowned since I am totally not comfortable with that subject. I agree that you say it can create a barrier between the author and most readers.

"I can think of several questions I had from the beginning of the book that were still unanswered at the end. It didn’t feel like the story really had a complete conclusion" I am a fan of sci-fi books but what is the point of starting a book that would have unanswered questions at the end? I'll pass on this one. However, congrats on the BOTD.

Thanks for the beautiful review.
Asides from the fact that I'm not a lover of physics, reading from your review that this book has an unsatisfactory ending with unresolved questions further discourages me.
I'll pass on this one.

It will be interesting to know how the author explained the scientific concepts in simpler terms. Thank you for the balanced review.

With Sci/Fi books its really hard for most authors and readers to find a balance between the science of the book and fantasy of it .I thus understand your frustrations. I commend you on writing such an honest review. I am also not much of a science fiction reader but I will definitely consider reading this book.

The book doesn't sound interesting. But
I think I was drawn to the book cause of the quantum physics stuff. Sounds really interesting.

Wow, I love stories with a scientific element in them and this just sounds perfect! I'm not quite sure what to make of all the different relationships featured in the book, though. Thanks for the great review!

This seems like a typical science fiction novel related to modern physics. Your review seems genuine and authentic, as you have given your opinions in a rational and impartial way. This book is not suited for me, so I will not read it.

After reading your review, I have to say that I’m not particularly interested in reading this book. I usually prefer much lighter books that I can read without the need to pause and think. I think this book would be very good for someone familiar with the scientific and mathematical terminology but that is definitely not me! Thank you for your honest review!

I normally don't like science fiction but the romance woven into the plot of this book endears me to it.

Everyone wants to know what's in the future and lives in a great fear of it. Imagine if they were able to see it?
Damn I don't wanna know the answer to that.
Thanks for the critical review.
All your scholarship, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be vain if at the same time you do not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions.
