A Thousand Pieces of You

Audiobook narration was cool. The Russia part had Russian accents so I enjoyed a lot. Otherwise, story was very weak.

—avert your eyes, spoilers ahead—

So many problems!
• Ok the SciFi was not my favorite as it wasn't well explained. Please just read Recursion by Blake Crouch which also has a consciousness device but it is so well thought out and properly explained.

• They made a dimension jumping device which lets your consciousness jump dimensions but the damn device jumps physically with you. That's basically a teleportation device! Leave parallel worlds, you guys can teleport. Just change your device a little and you have another scientific discovery.

• The body remains behind but in what state? What if somebody walks in on you while you're dimension jumping? Don't tell me it's quantum physics and say it's hard to explain. What is this, Ant-Man?

* Also just remembered, for you to be able to jump dimensions and come back to your original dimension, you would need to know how many dimensions in total there are, and what dimension you're jumping into next to act as a point of reference. But do we know that? Noooooo. Think Shades of Magic by Schwab where we knew and used tokens from each world. Otherwise, there is no way Paul knew which dimension he was jumping into next. (Can't believe I'm realising this 3 days after finishing this disaster).

• The romance! Ugh. The love triangle. Ughhhh. If I wanted to read a love triangle, I'd read Twilight.

• Stupid Russian storyline! Meg has sex with the love of her life in another dimension, TWICE, while she is in an alternate version of herself, with the guy from that dimension. Dudeeee! Think of the consequences for your other self! Also, if you're gonna do it, at least have safe sex. But nooooo! I really just stopped caring for the story at this point.

• The only likable character is Paul, but not by a lot. Theo is just downright suspicious from page one. Meg is awful for making stupid decisions. She went from trying to kill Paul to trying to kill Theo with barely any thought.

• Till the last page, we're talking about the love triangle. Oh go to hell, Theoooo! We don't like you. “If I have to let somebody else have you, at least it's him.” Oh fuck offfffff!

• Lastly, if people can overtake your body and consciousness and make you do bad things, maybeee make a device that blocks other people from jumping into you. Phhhhhbbbbttt!!!
