Honestly whenever the discussion of the multi verse theory comes up, I just get confused and don't bother continuing. But I like how the author made this concept a lot easier to understand. I've always wondered what happens when we sleep.

This is my first time actually learning about the multiverse theory and I understood it just fine. While the author probably had to make some changes to it, I did feel like I could understand it just view with their view on it.

His explanation was good enough for me. The Professor was a good addition to the twist. I believe most readers at least got a rough idea of the multi verse theory.

Adam Guest did a great job with the multiverse theory. I found it easy to understand because I happen to be an astronomy junkie. It's such an interesting idea to weave fantasies around.

It's a confusing concept, but I think the author explained it well enough. I've had fun attempting to explain it to my teenage children during our drives to town and summarize the concept of the book. It has started some pretty interesting conversations during drive time.

The author used different approaches to explain the concept. Those that worked for me are the color-coding of the different worldlines, the classroom discussions, the analogy of the ski slopes, and the repetitive elements (such as the same setting, same events, and same characters, to name a few). The repetition is effective in illustrating how the worldlines could be similar and yet different. The additional reading material provided by the author was also helpful.

The author colour coded the parallel worlds so that every reader can understand the story without any confusion.He even discussed scientific experiments to put forward the theory of many worlds, otherwise unknown to many of us.

I found the concept quite easy to grasp, because of the detail the author incorporated when explaining the different events that took place.

Generally the concept of Multiverse theories is difficult but the author did an outstanding job.

The author did a great job in explaining the multiverse concept. The story felt so real and I started imaging having another version of myself.

Sincerely, that was my first time to encounter the multiverse theory; however, Adam Guest made it easier to understand this concept. I loud him for such a great job.

I think that author gave a pretty convincing explanation of the multiverse theory by telling us about Gary's accident. The lucid dreaming part made the justification of his theory more reasonable and realistic. The professor's questions were something that made me question that how come I never thought like that. So I think his explanation was plausible.

The multiverse theory seems complicated, but the author portrayed it well and clearly. The readers can at least get an idea of what it is.

There are some non fiction books and journals that touch upon the multiverse theory. However, I have not read many fiction books that explains multiverse theory the way the author has elaborated in this book. So, It is evident that the author has done quite a bit of research on the subject and it is reflected in the way he narrate the story.

I think that you still need to focus when reading the multiverse theory in this book as to not get confused, but I must say that the explanation gets more intriguing the more you read it. The author does a good job in drawing our interest on the topic. It makes you want to read, learn, and understand more.

I thought he did a really great job! My only complaint is that the explanation in the dialogue could have been broken up by some descriptions because it was a lot to read at once, but other than that, he made it really easy to understand.
