وقتی این کتابو شروع کردم اصلا فکرشم نمیکردم که وقتی به آخرش برسم انقدر قلبم اکلیلی بشه و دوسش داشته باشم

Having heard mixed reviews about this book, I was a bit apprehensive to begin with and found myself endlessly nit-picking at flaws: the plot was a bit predictable, and odd moments here and there were a little contrived, and I found it difficult to give a toss about certain characters.
Despite all this though, and despite a sluggish start, I really enjoyed the way that different themes were woven together with the plot, including philosophy, the extended chess metaphor and the symbiosis of quantum mechanics and psychology. I was with Nora every step of the way and I closed the book (albeit 3 weeks after opening it) a very happy boy indeed.

I've spent a lot of time fantasizing about how different my life would have been, had I done things differently and made different decisions, I have longed for that possibility for so long, to be able to go back and change certain things. Some nights while thinking about my life I have considered that as a real possibility worth pursuing, because if I were able to change certain bad decisions in the past, that would change everything for the better and make my life worth living. This book came like a pill to my mental illness of living in past decisions. I felt a lot more hopeful after finishing this book.
As all great spiritual thinkers and monks say: living in the present is the greatest challenge and also the only solution.

A simple read.
No need to investigate any of the themes or meanings further, they’re all spelled out within the text. It was a simple book that didn’t go too deep in any direction, but rather coasted across the surface of more complex concepts such as quantum physics and the one conscious theory. It’s good in the sense of an introduction to these topics, but over-explains them to prevent the need for any real mental involvement from the reader.
Unfortunately, you have to get around the whiny, uncreative, limited nature of the narrator/main character: Nora. Truly a woman written by a man.
Overall it was an easy read that helped introduce philosophical concepts.

An interesting way to look at the decisions we make and the regrets we have. In the end we have to Live the life we have.
