Interpretation Concering Books Regarding Ducks and Universes

On a foggy Monday in 1986, the universe suddenly, without warning, bifurcated. Fast forward to thirty-five years later: Felix Sayers is a culinary writer living in San Francisco of Universe A who spends his days lunching at Coconut Café and dreaming of penning an Agatha Christie-style mystery. But everything changes when his Aunt Henrietta dies, leaving Felix a photograph of his father and himself—dated ten days before Felix was born. It can only mean one thing: Felix has an “alter” in Universe B. Panicked that his mystery novel may have been written already, Felix crosses to San Francisco B and proceeds to flagrantly violate the rules of both worlds by snooping around his alter’s life. But when he narrowly escapes a hit-and-run, it becomes clear that someone knows he’s crossed over…and whoever it is isn’t happy about it. Now Felix must uncover the truth about his alter, the events of one Monday, and a wayward rubber duck before his time in both worlds runs out.

- School Library Journal

"A witty and light ‘what if’ novel stuffed with an amusing and eclectic cast of characters.” - Publishers Weekly

Assess Out Of Books Regarding Ducks and Universes

Maybe 2.5 stars. It started out interesting, but ended up dragging and I figured out how the story was going to end long before it ended. There were interesting discussions throughout the book, but most of them ended up being so dumbed down that they didn't lead to deep reflection. It's not a story I'd recommend.

Its an intersting book I would recommend it if you like books about mystries and a tinny bit of action

We all assume from birth that we are one of a kind, but how would we react if we suddenly found out we weren't an original? There is someone out there with your name, your look, your interests running around? This is how Felix feels when he suddenly learns of Felix B. In the world Felix lives in, "alters", are common for older people in his world. But he recently found out he was old enough to have this doppelganger in a parallel universe (Universe B). As Felix takes a trip to this alternate

Can't decide if this is a well thought out story or an overly thought out one that stripped away a bit too much of the playfulness and humour of life.The idea of alternate realities wasn't enough to draw me in at the start of the book and the protagonists quest to find out if he was competing with his alternate to finish writing a mystery novel was lacklustre. Such dull endeavours require more joviality for me to think them good.All in all this is a decent and short read that I won't ever come

Found thru SFFBC Goodreads group but probably would have picked it up just based on cover, title, and summary. SFFBCis leading me to some new fun reads.Funny read about a mystery writing/reading character that travels between parallel universes to investigate his alter. Several references to Sherlock Holmes stories and wonders what would happen if Sherlock Holmes had an alter. Just read a bunch of Sherlock Holmes so familiar with the references. Author either has read or needs to read The

An engaging what-if that fails to leverage its premise to flesh out the characters or the plot. At times it was difficult to discern the difference between grad students Arni and Pak, while Bean's defining characteristics are that she's the female grad student in the group, she drives fast, and our protagonist Felix has a chaste crush on her. Felix himself is a character with dreams and an ambitious spirit, however he displays little drive, motivated primarily by insecurity--his main reason for

I really enjoyed this book. I have not yet, up until now had a less than 3.5 rated book be a success. I am not entirely sure why it is rated so low, even after reading the other reviews. Multiple universes is a hot topic amongst writers and actual physicists, not coincidentally I think. This book does the idea justice, two universes connected by a random, unidentified event. Connected enough to send objects and people back and forth. I loved the concept of alters, those people who were born
