Review:

This is an interesting book, but it is pretty predictable.  Again, I am not terribly fond of the "magic" especially when it is inconsistent (salt water makes a plant grow that has been extinct, but the coast which is in constant contact with the salt water doesn't have this characteristic despite proof that "the presence" goes to the coast).  I'm not sure how to make this story tighter (I'm not an author), but I can see how it could have been more interesting and less predictable with only a few changes.

Review:

There are some platitudes here with which I am not completely comfortable.  I do like the idea of making the best of what you have and not framing your life in terms of regrets.  This is an adventuresome read and I really like the multi-worlds theory, although I'm not comfortable with the ability to move between them.
