How convincing was the author in explaining such a difficult concept? I thought that he did a great job and everything was very clear. He also provided enough information for readers who want to get into more details.

Normally when I think of multiverses and the space-time continuum I get so confused, but the author did a great job at explaining it, I could follow along with ease and enjoyed the story.

The story he started with, of Garry's accident and how different outcomes would have been possible was amazing and understandable. I however got a little confused in the pages that followed and had to be really keen to get it.

I think that explaining that concept is hard in general unless you have that background. The author did do a outstanding job in explaining it because I have always had trouble understanding it but while reading this I had very little trouble. I now have a better understanding of the multiverse theory in general.

I was fascinated by the multiverse theory for a while already and I think I get the whole concept well. So I must admit I was very curious how the author will deal with it. And he did very well! I think everything was clear and possible to understand even if you didn't know anything about it before.

I think the author did a spectacular job in presenting the theory. It's difficult to lay down these concepts in a simple way but the story maintained its fluidity well in those terms. So I really enjoyed it. Things were made easy by representing the worldlines by different colors and showing their similarities and differences in an easy manner as well.

I think the author did a great job in introducing such a complex theory. The aspect that made it perfect is that at the beginning of every chapter, it was written which universe that particular chapter was set on.

I agree. The author did a great job explaining the existence multiverse. Normally we speak of a universe where there is only one outcome for every action taken. However, in a multiverse the outcomes are infinite. This explanation clarified the events and the theme of endless possibilities.

I think the author was very successful in reaching the concept to the readers. While reading the book, I never felt confusion even though there was many worldlines which consisted the same characters. The talent of the author to exhibit the book in such a simple way is remarkable and worth mentioning.

I think connecting the multiverse to our dreams makes it more realistic and easier to understand. Because one way or the other we experienced that already when we dream about something repeatedly. Also, we are all aware that a certain action produces this reaction compared to a different action to a same scenario that will produce a slightly different reaction.

I agree that he did a great job in explaining the multiverse concept. The repetitions also served to cement the theory well. What I know of multiverses I've learnt from movies so it was really nice to have this book explain it to me, and I got an entertaining story too!

The method of clarifying the author used in explaining the concept of worldlines is extremely convincing. I still agree that this concept applies in real life and requires a little bit of backup information to be approved.

Oh. I feel the author did a great job of explaining this whole theory. I had not really heard much about all of this prior to this book, but now I have a much clearer point-of-view and better understanding. He presents his explanation in a very simple, yet interesting way.

The multiverse theory in the sense explained by the author seems plausible. What happens when we dream is a mystery and no one really knows for sure what happens during that time.

The author clarified the theory several times. I recall the message he sent to Michelle in one of the worldlines. I think the message was one of the ways the author offered clarity.
