On the whole I liked it. I did skip through the extracts from “Mr Y” and likewise the scientific bits, but the main narrative pulled me along at a great clip. I was preparing to give this book 10 out of 10 but the ending disappointed me so it only gets 9/10
I didn't quite realize just how much this book would make my head hurt - a novel featuring quantum physics, philosophy, linguistics, and time travel all at once might not have been the best choice for a vacation read. Thomas does a good job at making some fairly complex concepts accessible, but I wish the same effort had gone into developing a stronger narrative imperative.
