Lost Futures

Rating:
Summary: A fascinating mind-bending story of alternate realities.
Review: An intriguing novel, where a woman helplessly passes from one reality to alternate ones without knowing why. Parallel worlds or madness? is the question,and never is it fully answer--thankfully. The book is haunting long after it's put down and makes you question your own existence. Part of a sadly exinct line from Dell Horror.

Summary: Thought provoking, but something was missing.
Review: I read this book several years ago, and have never forgotten it. It was a truly unique piece of "horror" fiction, though I think that it really extends far beyond the boundaries of classic horror. It deals with the idea that at any moment, you make a decision which precludes other ones, and places you on a certain path in life...but what if you could live all the possible lives that are/were available to you...A difficult to explain premise, but hopefully you will see that this is no ordinary book.

Summary: Thought provoking, but something was missing.
Review: LOST FUTURES takes on the fascinating concept of alternate realities: the theory that at the point of any given choice, reality splits and continues on for each outcome. In this book, a young woman becomes obsessed with the possibility of crossing over to a better life, where her brother did not die, where she made something more of her life. Thankfully the absurdity of quantum theory is abandoned early on, but after a series of several "awakenings", one begins to look for some kind of direction, and there isn't any. There is an ending of sorts, but it comes suddenly. A mild disappointment, but still worth reading.
