I didn't like the fact that it didn't wrap up the entire story properly. But other than that the characters we were we developed and had thier own, unique different personalities. I recommend it to people who love reading about multiverse.
I gave it the same rating for the same reason. I think the ending went well, though; actually, that was my favorite part. It's not supposed to wrap up everything anyway. :lol2: It's the first book of the series; some parts are supposed to be left open-ended to be explored in the following books.

Instead of having one end, you had like two or three endings. I found the book a little confusing at the beginning. however, the more I read the storylines were clarified. Excellent book I enjoyed it.
There were a lot of errors, though, so I gave it a three instead. That's a little different way of describing it, though. A lot of us are more focused about the fact that these were theories in physics that were applied in the story. The way you described it is the vice versa. :lol2:

Yeah, that was discussed in some of the other topics here. The repetitions are necessary for the author to show the similarity between the worlds so he can reiterate the fact that they are each other's alternate universe. It also makes the differences stand out.

I removed one star for the same reason, too! It was truly fascinating to read about parallel universes, but what really nailed it for me is the author's storytelling technique and how mind-blowing the message was. The writing style needs work, though so even if it didn't have much errors, I still can't guarantee a perfect 4.

I liked the story as a whole. The subtle similarities or differences in the different worldlines was nicely laid down. Although the story touched down on some heavy quantum concepts, it was comparatively easy to grasp. The end was in accordance with the multiverse theory, so I was pleased.
I gave it a 3 for the same reason. I'm surprised to see someone so annoyed about contractions that they had to mention it. :lol2: But I guess that's also part of why I found the writing style to be messy. If there weren't so many errors and the writing style was a little more polished, I might've given it a perfect 4.

This book was well-written and had a lot of plot twists. I liked the professor's ideas and the various decisions that were made in different worlds. So I would rate the book 4 out of 4 stars over and over again

Adam Guest is an expert at keeping the reader engaged. There is not much I disliked about this book. The repetition was somewhat annoying, but understandably necessary as each worldline needed to have their story unfold in a certain way.

Some of us rated it 3 out of 4 instead because of the amount of errors. :lol2: This was the first science fiction I've read and first one that involved the multiverse, but you seem like you've already read plenty of them. I wonder how else this could be approached with other theories.

Oh yeah, the errors. I forgot about those. I am pretty sure I noticed them but then I sunk into all the theories. And I don't know what happened after that. :lol: :doh:

Wow, I love the book. I undoubtedly give in read book 3 out of 4 stars. If you are interested in the parallel world and enjoy some mystery and thrill in reading then this is your book. Get ready for the unexpected world of multiple worlds and murder mysteries. You won't be able to put it down once you started reading it.

There were a few errors in this book but I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I liked the creative storyline and the way the plot keeps you guessing. I didn't particularly like the repetitiveness of it when Gary travels to different multiverses

I read this book when it came out last year, so I never really rated but I'd give it a 4 out of 4. I absolutely loved it. I was hooked from the beginning, and it took me out of a reading slump. I find the subject of lucid dreaming very interesting. If anyone knows any other books that include it or talk about it let me know!

I would rate the book 4 out of 4 because I enjoyed the authors writing style.

As a science fan I enjoyed the authors description of the Multiverse although the concept of Multiverse is confusing. I feel that the author did a great job in trying to explain. I would definitely recommend it to readers who enjoy science fiction.

I think this book was a 4-star novel. I really liked Adam Guest's narration skills--how he explained the complex topic of multiverse theory in an easy-to-understand manner. By no doubt, this is a book I would like to recommend to other readers. Sincerely, there is nothing I disliked about this book.

I didn't like the overall idea about quantum physics and lucid dreams and rate this book 3 out of 4 stars, since it was written quite well in my opinion
