This book wasn’t really my cup of tea but I know others rate this pretty high. The writing was great and the plot was fairly interesting, it just didn’t fully interest me and took me a week or so to finish cause it was hard to get into. I will definitely be watching the show after this though. To me it felt like the whole Jason & Amanda bit was boring and took up most of the story really. To me it was interesting when there was the drive to get back to his time and everything. He seemed to realize who the person was who was responsible for this a little too late. And in the end
it was just a massacre of his other versions killing to be with his wife. I will admit this was kind of heartwarming to me because he loved this woman so much that no matter what reality he was in, he wanted her. And in the end they all were willing to kill the other versions just to be with her and to me that was very sweet.
In the end this wasn’t my cup of tea but I’d recommend it to others for sure!
