I devoured this novel about 24 hours, starting yesterday morning, reading on the subway ride to and from a family museum outing, reading past my bedtime in bed, getting up the next morning to read while drinking my pot of tea. Couldn’t put it down. It is a thrilling, mind-blowing ride on a fascinating plot that makes knowing what will happen next a near necessity. The writing is fine, some of the pop-psychology made me actually roll my eyes, but nothing pulled me out of the whirlwind with Jason

This book is an interesting play on the infinite worlds quantum theory.
Unfortunately, the book often seemed like the author was trying really hard to convince himself that choosing a stable and comfortable family life with a less than could have been job is really great. The protagonist here is pulled from his comfortable quiet life by a version of himself that went on to have the stunning science career without the girl/kid he could have had. Then he misses the life that could have been and .. ...more

This book hurt my brain--lots of quantum physics that I have a hard time understanding. That said, it is an interesting story with a sweet message about choosing your path and loving your life. It would be an awesome movie--it just dragged for me.
This was a wild ride, and I was holding on like a kid riding a roller coaster preparing for the loop. I loved the pace, the characters, the dialog, the imagery, the ending, all of it!
Not the tightest, most lyrical prose I've read this year, nor the most 3-dimensional characters, but extremely engaging and fairly satisfying for what it is. Quick read. Super fun.
Would have made a great movie starring Bruce Willis between 5th Element and Armageddon.
Two things still bugging me (like 5thE Bruce Willis on a landline in the 23rd century still bugs me, 20 yrs after seeing it).
#1 is the hallway. Fucking ridiculous, a literal hallway with literal doors. ugh.
#2 is how much he fucke ...more

I really liked this book. I couldn't put it down. It was suspenseful from the moment it started, to the moment it ended. I had no clue how it would ultimately end.
Very different genre than I normally read but I would recommend it to anyone. I kept thinking it would make a great movie, and sure enough, it's being adapted for the screen now.
