I recently reviewed this book and I also gave it 4 stars. The story is very interesting and once I picked up the book, I couldn't stop reading. The Many Worlds theories is fascinating! I still think about the possibility of my mind drifting through different worldlines while I sleep from time to time. Thank you for the review!

Parallel universes is an intriguing theme. But, sci-fi is not my genre. I'll pass this one. Thank you for the insightful review.

It is a well thought review from someone who actually went beyond to just reading the book. I read the first chapter and now after this review I am interested in diving in and let loose. Great review indeed.

It is amazing that Mary who is suffering from dementia could have witnessed Gary committing this murder, in my mind it says that in her dementia she is also just in a worldline. The same world where Gary is while lucid dreaming. It sounds like a great read.

While the concept of the work is intriguing, I'm not sure that it is as good in practice if multiple scenes are repeated to the point that the reader is bored. Still, I'm interested in checking this one out for myself. Thanks for a great review.

Love the multi-verse angle. I enjoy books that make you think and it looks like this is one of those. Thanks for the informative review on an interesting story. Great job.

This is a fabulous premise - that lucid dreams could be real. Very creative. I was tripped up by the title and don't see what wordlines, as a word, has to do with the multiverse, lucid dream theme. The title sounds like a nonfiction book about writing. Other than that, it sounds interesting. Thanks!

The theory of a parallel universe is mind-blowing. I'd like to think that it actually exist. This was a work well done. Nice review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

This novel sounds a complex one that interests me because of its ties to science. I like that the author poses the question of the extent to what we know as free will. He also has the audience consider if there are multiple universes and therefore multiple versions of us. I am eager to read more from this author in the future.

This book sounds amazing, the idea that there are infinite versions of myself living in an infinite number of universes is so interesting. I can't really get my head around it. Great review.

I enjoy science fiction and fantasy, but I'm not sure if I would like them combined. Regardless, I appreciate the review.

Intriguing, mysterious and fascinating! Storylines that involve the theory of parallel universes are my second most favorite scenarios, so this book is right up my alley. Crime thriller with a twist is just the right type of sophisticated plot that I can see myself enjoying immensely! Congrats on BOTD!

I like the multiverse theory this book is based on, so I'm obviously intrigued by this.
