I don't read a lot of science fiction and this book validates why.

Granted, I loved the premise of the book, which is what drew me to reading it in the first place. I think most people wonder where their lives would be if they had made another choice at some point. Therefore, the book pulled me in at the beginning, but a few chapters later, I felt like the story lost me and I never felt like I understood much from there on.

It was a bit of a page turner for a while though, so there's at least something positive I can say about it. I just felt like it was either above my head, or maybe it was just not my cup of tea in general, but I started skimming the rest of the book somewhere around the halfway point. I almost didn't finish it, but something made me want to see how it ended.

Unfortunately, the end fell flat for me. I just felt like I wasted my time reading this confusing mess. I suppose I'm in the minority as it seems a lot of people loved this book, but I won't be reading anything else by this author.
