Am really motivated to read this book thanks to your review but you saying it as too much repetition is what I don't seem to like in the book. Anyway I will read it and see how it flows. There are some repetition that is highly necessary in order to let the audience have a clearer picture of the book.

I like the idea behind the story, but it spirals out of control too quickly. Every possible instance and occurrence that could or should happen does - somewhere. Thre are too many common occurrences/thoughts/ideas that could lead to a completely different world.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction novel following a man who committed a murder while he was lucidly dreaming, but it might be someone else controlling the man's body to commit those crimes. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

That's for your great review and, more or less, your recommendation to read this book. It seems right up my alley: a good mixture of literary fiction, meaning a heavy focus on great writing and characterization, and science fiction. I look forward to reading it, but...dang...I've got so many on my reading list since joining just a couple of weeks ago; I don't know how I'll ever get to all of them! I think this one will go to the front of the list, though.

A very interesting and thought provoking concept. After reading the first chapter, I had to buy it, I had already started to rethink events in my own life, times when I could have, should have, might have died, and yet here I am. The idea that we will live forever is not a new concept or even a radical one in this day and age, but the new way of thinking about it keeps me up reading and taking notes and revisiting my memories with others who were there, if nothing else this book has made me reconnect with old friends and have meaningful conversation with new.

This book is definitely one of the best crime thrillers out there. I can't wait to know Gary's fate given the circumstances of his girlfriend's murder. Awesome review, and congrats BOTD.

It sounds like an interesting book, but it may be too much for me. I try to stay away from books with murder in then. Thanks for the review though!

Creating stories based on the multiverse theory is both complicated and interesting. It gives readers a chance to always be speculating throughout the novel. It keeps the audience captivated and interested. Also, the concept of committing murder adds to the suspense that keeps people on edge.

A novel based on the multiverse theory with multiple worldlines and Garys whose actions affect the different Garys in the different worldlines. This plot seems intriguing.

The review proves that the storyline of the book appears to be exceptionally interesting and mysterious as it piques different difficult questions about reality while also explaining the concept of the multiverse as simple as possible. The book is definitely In my read list

This seems to be a story that involves a lot of mystery. I feel like the narrations of the various Garys can confuse me, and the premise of this story didn't capture my attention. This doesn't seem to be the book for me, so I'll pass on this one. However, thank you for offering this enlightening review.

This book has a really strong theme of horror that I don't enjoy much. Great review but it's a pass on for me.
