Review by Samgum50 -- Worldlines by Adam Guest
Worldlines by Adam Guest is a novel centered in a world where The Many Worlds Interpretation is true. The book follows Gary Jackson as he comes to realize the consequences of messing with different Worldlines. Gary finds himself trying to prove his innocence when he feels falsely accused of committing a serious crime. The only problem is some witnesses saw him do it. Gary sets out to find out to make things right again and right his wrongs.
I must commend the author for his magnificent work on this book. The story’s fresh and exciting. I think the author did a fabulous job of explaining the scientific elements and theories in the book. I think he was able to present the Many Worlds Interpretation in a way that would be both fascinating and understandable to readers. The whole concept behind this book is still very enthralling to me. I feel like this book would make a great television show or movie adaptation.
I felt for the Blue Line version of Gary the most. He’d been arrested for committing a crime he didn’t remember doing. Plus, he didn’t feel like he was allowed to properly grieve because everyone thought he was guilty. The crime he’d been accused of committing caused mixed reactions from his family. I sympathized with his prison stay situation. He was clearly out of his element in there.
I wasn’t a big fan of Black Line Gary. Although it wasn’t his intention for things to end up the way they did, I felt like he could have been more remorseful of his actions. He came across as being more self-centered and selfish. He didn’t seem concerned about his future. I felt like he was too comfortable living without any ambitions. Plus, I felt like he could have been more compassionate towards Sinead.
Overall, I’d give this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book did have a few spacing errors here and there. However, it didn’t minimize my general impression of the book. Plus, I could still tell that this book was professionally edited. I genuinely don’t have a bad thing to say about this book. The storyline was thought-provoking and very wonderfully written. I found myself thoroughly engrossed by this novel. The author managed to create a marvelous work of fiction. I’m sure many readers out there will enjoy this book.
I feel like this book would be suitable for both science fiction and new adult readers. I’d also recommend this book to people who enjoy scientific elements in novels. I don’t think younger readers would be able to fully appreciate and understand some of the themes in this book.

Yes, you understood it right. It is intriguing and complex, but I think the author did a great job at making it as simple to understand as possible. The author indicates the name of the worldline at the beginning of each chapter which makes it easier to follow.Koltrast wrote: ↑24 Jun 2020, 05:11 Do I understand it right that this story follows different parallel versions of the same character? If so, that is a very intriguing and complex plot to have. What, indeed, would we do if we found ourselves one day living the consequences of a choice made in a whole different universe? Thank you for the review!
