Aug 13, 2017 Anita rated it it was amazing

Science fiction-thriller with the premise that each choice we make in life results in an "alternate universe" being created where that choice plays out. In the novel, a scientist exploring this finds a way to travel between the various universes. Real enough to be thought provoking (and a little scary). Great read with an excellent ending. 4.8/5 stars. ...more

3.5 stars but didn't meet expectations, unfortunately. Ending was too predictable. ...more

It was interesting but too much science & sci-fi for my taste.

I literally read it in one sitting hence the 5 star review. If a book can draw me in like that it deserves 5 stars! That being said, the writing was a bit simplistic and read like watching a movie. It does make you think about life and all my choices and how my life could have been different if I had made other choices.
