A book in which Gary the main character is living in many worlds with different people at one time -- WORLDLINES, A MANY WORLDS NOVEL
Worldlines by Adam Guest is a fictional novel that is based on the theory of multiple worlds. The story revolves around the main character Gary Jackson. The story starts with Gary Jackson committing a murder which he thought was a dream but there were some witnesses who saw him doing murder. Being sentenced to jail for the crime, Grey finds ways to do wrong things right. This book has mixed theories of physics and philosophy, convincing readers to believe in multiple worldlines.
The author has explained the idea of multiple worldlines in a hasty manner that each page arouses more curiosity as multiple scenarios play out in alternate worlds. The book starts with the blue line version which is most touchy because in this worldline Gary has been accused of a crime committed by his counterpart. The most intriguing part of the book was, How will Gary prove his innocence?
Gary is a student of physics and is engaged to Michelle Peyton in the blue line version. Michelle Peyton is an undergraduate student in the nursing profession. In an alternate world, he was living with his girlfriend, Sinead O'Brien, and her family. Gary suffered from multiple injuries from an accident.
The writer has written the story so meaningfully that any part of Gary's character can be well understood. The concept of multiple worldlines is explained in an easy language by providing enough detail of the setting. The book is written so nicely that multiple worlds concept doesn't confuse the reader. The sub-headings under each chapter such as the green line, black line, blue line, and the red lines helped in recognizing different universes. The book is a bit slow in the beginning but then as the story moves on, it becomes well-paced.
The story is a good refreshment and thought-provoking for book lovers. The premise of the book is that every decision made in one world has some reactions and different outcomes. How little decisions affect Gary's life. The thing I liked in this book was how Gary's moral values remained the same in all worldlines. In short, I enjoyed the book.
There were rare grammatical errors and a little profanity in the book. This book is not good for teenagers due to the mention of BDSM in my opinion. But as I enjoyed the book, I give this book 4 out of 4 stars.
However, the book is worth reading for those who love sci-fi books related to multiple worldlines concepts. Anyone who loves scientific elements in fantasy stories can enjoy this book.
