The author did great work in the way he explained the multi-universe theory. I had a vivid picture in my mind. He made me imagine the other possibilities of life. I have always believed in life and death alone but he opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities of life

Whenever I read or even watch stories related to parallel worlds, I'll have severe headache after watching or reading becaues I really don't understand the while story. But the author of Worldlines, explained it accurately that I truly enjoyed.

Excellent point. Gary's character at this point becomes relatable. As the author connects our experience of having dreams with the lucid dreams Gary is having.

I agree, using the different worldlines by colors helped me keep track of the changes. I think the author did an excellent job of explaining the multiverse theory. He connected our ability to dream to the story he was telling well.

I appreciated this aspect of the book as well. This multiverse idea while not new was well done in this book. I found the book inspiring as well. It reminds me, having dreams are powerful. Living one's dreams can be so impactful to the lives of others.

The book was very easy to follow from the scientific point of view, that's true :) I haven't any difficulties with the author's explanations at all. I love when a book gives me a food for thought.

I had no trouble understanding the multiverses since the author made sure which worldline I was reading about at the beginning of each chapter. I am really interested in the concept concerning dreams. Are we really living another life?

The author succeeded in transmitting such a difficult concept as quantum physics to a general audience. The best part is that the theory behind the book is actually based on science and not just the author's imagination.

I found it quite convincing as well, the link with the dream is kinda necessary, and it does seem believable. I have a weird feeling of being anxious that we cannot see more of the alternatives, as in there is so much more outside of the book, which in turn is a good thing, since I suppose I understood the concept.

Author did an amazing job in explaining the theory as I was unaware of it before reading the book and Now I would not be going out on a limb if I say I can explain it to someone else with ease.

I think the author did really well at explaining this complex theory. He managed to bring quantum physics into the book in a simple and understandable way. The theories were also repeated throughout the story for clarification.

I expected the conversation to go a bit differently, but I think it went well. I appreciated the examples given as well as that reflection and humor were folded in to the process of explanation.

The hardest topics to explain in sci-fi novels such as these is time travel and multiverse theories. The author displayed a masterful understanding of the multiverse theory and explained the existence of several worlds in an easy to understand manner.

The author has done a brilliant job as I didn't get confused at all while reading. The multiverse theory is complicated itself, but author explained it in a great way. The another good thing author has done is he given a label in every beginning of a chapters about which universe it is written about.

I personally don't believe in the theory of the multiverse. The idea of multiple universes or a parent universe that houses our universe and many others is largely scientific speculation at this point. For me, it just happens to be a worthy and effective sci-fi tropes that I'm willing to pay good money to see (cue MCU), but that's about as far as I'm willing to go with that idea.
