You make this book sound so great! I know what you mean about the repetition, though. It can get a bit much after a while, but fans of this kind of story are bound to enjoy it. I might give it a try as the idea is quite intriguing. Many thanks for the review.

The Many Worlds Theory is interesting in itself, and I think this book handles it well. I'm glad to see that it includes fantastical elements combined with the inevitable science fiction.

This one seems like a mind binder! Yourself in another world commits a murder and it affects yourself...in another world? I'll have to pick this one up to figure it out. Very interesting concept that I can't wait to dig into.

This is one of the best mystery books I have ever read. It caught my attention right away. I recommend it!

I like that the author explains such a complicated subject as parallel universes in simple terms. I will definitely consider reading this book. Thank you for this insightful review! :)

While I find the concept eye-catching, I don't think I'll enjoy reading this one. :(

Worldline is a great book, I like how the author brought the character traits of Michelle, the character of the book was well driven.

Lucid dreams are surely always a source of reckoning. Here the author seems to have built a theory of the multiverse accessible through one's dreams, and the plot portrays a character entangled in crimes committed by traversing the multiverses. If that may not sound intriguing then I don't know what might.
Great review and congratulations on BOTD. :tiphat:

Great review Chipochashe. Thanks.
I did a review of this book very recently, and I found the theme a mind blowing concept of Physics Adam Guest folded in an interesting story. I am still trying to imagine how Gray-Blue and Gary-Black did move their real being in dreamed lines.

I disliked the repetition. Following the different instances of Gary in different worldlines necessitated the repetition of certain scenes to show how they produced a different outcome.
Oh. Glad you mentioned this. But it didn't affect your enjoyment of the story so I'm thinking that the repetition of scenes is also alright, that it is essential. Thank you for the review!

Seems like a book with great ideas but it also seems to have a lot of loose ends-why he's dreaming, are there others. And the story seems to revolve around Gary's crimes instead of this extraordinary power which he possesses. It will be an intriguing read though. Thanks for the review.

What I enjoyed most about the book was the theory of many worldlines itself. It is not something I believe in, but it did make for interesting fiction. If that theory were true, then, in essence, we have no character, because at any point all instances of the choice we could make will happen anyway even if it is in another worldline. It was interesting though to imagine what I would do if someone else took control of my body and committed a crime. I would have no memory of it and I would be confident that I would never do such a thing under any circumstances. So how would I go about proving myself innocent?
I think it can be a terrifying theory, but it could also mean endless possibilities for good. It's interesting to ponder...
I'm glad the author polished the editing. Thank you for your review!
