This story also brought to me another dimension of life story, it's like the story is real, because sometimes event and happening that occures in our life might look like a dream even worst event, which we wish were a dream do come through while some remains dream.

When i read this book i honestly thought, yes finally some science fiction but the concept of the multiverse is so complex i didn't really have any high expectation but the authour did very well in conveying Gary's demise but at times felt dragged but easy to follow and entertaining.

The concept of the multiverse has always fascinated me, and it appears like the author has done outstanding work with this one.
The book's initial assertion has been employed in an appropriate proportion to make it both enjoyable and realistic.
As you said in your review, I disliked also the repetition. Aside from that, the book is well-written and has gone through a competent editing process.
Finally, I'd like to point out that your review accurately reflects a fantastic backdrop of the storyline, and I enjoyed it as well. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and enlightening review.

A multiverse. Someone taking possession of your body and you end up committing murder, yet you are that very person. That concept is new and unheard of. I would love to discover more about this book story. Thanks for the review.

Great review, thanks. I love the idea of the multiverse but one in which a version of me can take over my body is absolutely terrifying. This books sounds amazing and piques my interest. I look forward to having a read.

The multiverse/worldlines is an interesting concept. I can see why it has become popular in movies and books! I’m not sure I would enjoy the amount of repetition in this novel but it might still be worth checking out.

Your review of 'Worldlines' by Adam Guest beautifully captures the essence of the multiverse concept in literature. I appreciate your insight into the narrative technique of using first-person narration for different versions of Gary. It's intriguing how this approach allowed you to immerse yourself in the mindset of each character. The discussion on the moral implications of actions in alternate worldlines is thought-provoking and adds depth to the book's theme. It's also reassuring to know the editing has improved since the last review. Great analysis!

We talk a lot about multiverse and different timelines and what can be possible and what is not. The movie Matrix became famous based on this very concept. This book seems to be following the same genre and in a brilliant way. I like this sci-fi story that investigates crime thrillers in parallel universes. Congratulations on BOTD and best wishes for future projects.
There are few things in life that can make me as happy as oily foods.

Science fiction stories that overlap the concept of a multiverse would require more concentration to write the book. After reading this review, I can see that the author did a good job in his work and provided an excellent book. Thank you for your review.

Great work. It has to do with theories and fiction which will push the readers to want to indulge in it.

I already feel like reading this book because I want to know how lucid dreaming relates to physics. After all, the protagonist approached a physics professor for an explanation of what was happening to him. I'm interested in knowing the outcome. Nice review!

Science fiction with a fantasy twist is something new I would love to try it. Based on the multiverse theory one Gary takes control of another instance of Gary in a different word line and commits a heinous crime of which the original Gary is not aware of.
Imagine his predicament. Interesting concept.
