Alex vive a Milano. Jenny vive a Melbourne. Hanno sedici anni. Un filo sottile unisce da sempre le loro vite: un dialogo telepatico che permette loro di scambiarsi poche parole e che si verifica senza preavviso, in uno stato di incoscienza. Durante uno di questi attacchi i due ragazzi riescono a darsi un appuntamento. Alex scappa di casa, arriva a Melbourne, sul molo di Al

This book was tolerable, nothing more nothing less; it reeked of averageness and basic characters. The plot was very standard and had nothing too original. The love story was, essentially, feeble and vain. I know I sound very critical, but this book deserves it.
A fast, and disappointing plot
From just a few chapters in the action began and questions arose. Questions that consequently kept me reading the book and wanting to finish it in haste. This book was a page turner, I’ll give it that, bu ...more

I feel guilty for abandoning this book, but I can't push myself farther.
I think the writing style is awful and just elementary, and the narrative doesn't have solid bases. It's unbearably unrealistic.
I'm sorry because the idea behind it was good and LOOK AT THAT COVER IT'S AWESOME.
But I just can't. ...more

MULTIVERSUM is an entertaining and thought provoking novel that transports the reader through a limitless stream of possibility and uncertainty, invoking a kind of paralysis of reality by which time and place are defined by no traditional boundary or scale.
With pre and post-apocalyptic elements embodying the plot, the omnipresent sense of doom is ever looming over the heads of the young characters at the forefront of MULTIVERSUM. The dynamic is such that each interaction between Alex and Jenny ...more

Interesting concept, but not interesting enough.
While the English translation was really good and the book was easy to read, the book quickly lost its charm. I've read one other series similar to this, dealing with parallel worlds and centered around a love story, I think it was called A Thousand Pieces of You? It's not one of my favorite series but compared to it, Multiversum was tame. The plot was rather uninspiring. Girl and Boy want to be with each other, and so they try throughout the book ...more
great concept, made me think a lot and i liked that.
i had two big issues with this book. first of all, the romance seemed forced given that the characters didn’t even know much about each other and dived right into it without second thought...
then, jenny’s character lacked something... i know she wasn’t the main narrator but i felt like i didn’t know much about her
**spoiler below**
the sex scene ????? right in the middle of what was the end of the world?? i hated that sm i mean it was weird and ...more

The world of this book is so fantastic that I can be lost in it. Crossing dimensions, having different realities, travelling to the memories... These are the things that I want them to be present in such books of my favorite fantasy ones.
Mixing the scientific concepts with this book is fit well in this world. every detail is considered well mostly. No more sayings.
Read it and see it for yourself, the perfectness of the book...

now please translate the other 2 books into English so I can read them thanks
I just closed this book and I feel like I need to read it again. It's the most bizarre book I've read this year and I totally loved it.
I flew through the story and if it wasn't for my migraine I could have finished it earlier.
This is one of those books that you need to finish immediately bc otherwise you will get lost somehow.
Is addictive, intriguing, mysterious and captivating, every turn of the page and you'll want more. I just don't know what just happened, but what I just read was amazing ...more

Sci-fi without any purpose.......
I received a copy of this title through the Goodreads first reads giveaways.
Ten Second Synopsis:
Alex and Jenny can communicate telepathically across dimensions. Pity they have nothing interesting to say.
I was really disappointed with this book and my expectations were not too high to begin with. My main problem with the book is that the two main characters are so underdeveloped it is as if the author needed a generic teen girl and generic teen boy, just picked random names for them out of a hat ...more

I received this book through Goodreads First Reads.
This book explores the theory of parallel universes, something I have not read about in YA fiction, but I find the subject fascinating, and provides something different for the YA sci-fi and dystopia readers.
Multiversum explores an interesting concept and describes it well, it has a good pacing, simple writing and is thought provoking keeping you guessing right till the end. The only downfall of the book, in my opinion, was its need for more cha ...more

Just finished this and can only say - wow! A pity it ends on a cliffhanger and neither of the sequels seems to have been translated yet. If at all. If I was a nastier person I'd deduct a star for that - but not the author's fault. I borrowed my library's copy and while I think both boys and girls would enjoy it, I havrn't the heart to offer them the first of a series of which the second and third are only available if you can read Italian. Since our kids are African, Asian, Islander and such, I

This book was incredible! It was so so so good. Focusing on the lives of two young people, Alex and Jenny, who live in parallel dimensions. They can communicate with each other telepathically and they arrange to meet up, but when they do, they cannot see each other... amazing book! Such a great book!
It is very crazy these book and i love it. From half onwards the book it´s more complicated and i was lost many times, but a the end of the page it was all claer and at the end of the book........I want to read more.

2 stars because I finished it.
I think this book would have been awesome if the writing was better and if some parts of it weren't so confusing. Maybe it is better in some other universe. But in this, it isn't. In my opinion at least. ...more

Fascinated by the story for the long time, I've finally managed to get it into my hands. It met my expectations, as it was entertaining and exciting and that is what I've been waiting for. Some scenes alone were ... full of pathos. Also the way the author dealt with descriptions seems like something that Stephanie Meyer is known for.
Anyway, that was something I'm glad that I've read. Some interesting thoughts came through my mind while I was going through it. ...more

It's a book about multi universes and traveling among them. Basically, the story of three friends who are capable of traveling in alternative universes. But it has nothing interesting in it, the book is so boring and I am definetely not eager to read the second book. The love story insinde the book is cheesy and boring as well. Even the nerdy part is so boring and not that informative.

SO GOOD! I didn't expect to find such an amazing story in this book. I thought it was a love story with a little (just a little) of science fiction but it was definitely more than a love story. The ending was soooooo good, it blew my mind and I can't wait to read Memoria. I din't really like the characters tho (except for Marco, I loved Marco) and thats why I gave it only 4 stars.

Enjoyable quick read.
No finished, but... Maybe someday😕
Great sci-fci reading, has an interesting plot, and good character development.
4,5/5 The idea behind the book was very interesting.
This book had a very interesting plot but the author’s way of writing it was so bad. The beginning of the book was tolerable but throughout the pages it became horrible.
Fantastic book, actually the first one to ever introduce me to book reading.
i love it🥰😍 i can do telepathy by the way.
it’s my favorite book.
hi alex and jenny? can you hear me?

I don't understand how this guy didn't become famous around the world with this trilogy. This book meets all your expectations from a book. The characters are in-depth, with a surprise ending, past problems, love, and of course the multiverses.

“Allí fuera, en los caminos del mundo, había miles de millones líneas, de recorridos de vida. Miles de millones de direcciones. Calles enfiladas, desviadas por azar, a veces interrumpidas bruscamente. Pensó que dos enamorados no eran más que dos recorridos a merced del azar. Podían dibujar los trayectos más absurdos en el mapamundi, dirigirse a cualquier parte y no encontrarse jamás. O bien cruzarse también varias veces y no reconocerse. Podían tomar el mismo autobús todas las mañanas, sin saber nada el uno del otro. Así hasta el fin de sus días, sin relacionarse. Pero bastaba muy poco: un intercambio de frases, incluso casual, y las líneas se habrían mágicamente unido. Dos grises trazos de un solitario recorrido se habrían convertido en una sola calle compartida.”

“Son todas líneas”, pensó y comenzó a ver a cada una de esas personas como una raya trazada sobre un hipotético mapa. Un gigantesco enredo de calles que se cruzaban, se rozaba, se unían y luego proseguían adelante. Allí afuera, en los caminos del mundo, había miles de millones de líneas, de recorridos de vida. Miles de millones de direcciones. Calles enfiladas, desviadas por azar, a veces interrumpidas bruscamente. Pensó que dos enamorados no eran más que dos recorridos a merced del azar. Podían dibujar los trayectos más absurdos en el mapamundi, dirigirse a cualquier parte y no encontrarse jamás. O bien cruzarse también varias veces y no reconocerse. Podían tomar el mismo autobús todas las mañanas, sin saber nada el uno del otro. Así hasta el fin de sus días, sin relacionarse. Pero bastaba muy poco: un intercambio de frases, incluso casual, y las líneas se abrían mágicamente unido. Dos grises trazos de un solitario recorrido se habrían convertido en una sola calle compartida.”
