As his stepson asked questions, experienced new emotions, and began to develop stronger relationships with friends, Greg thought a story would be a good supplement to the lessons he and his wife were already teaching.

Book Review: Russell Boyd: The Chorus Effect

The Chorus Effect























Author:   Russell Boyd





Title:  The Chorus Effect

Genre:  Fiction, Adventure stories and Action, Religious and inspirational, Science Fiction, Adventure, Hard Science Fiction, High Tech,   



Synopsis:  Until recently, Chintz had been a relatively normal guy with a relatively normal cat. For example, neither he, nor his cat, had ever journeyed to a synthetic parallel universe. He had never encountered a teleporting baby or an emotionally mature computer. He could count on one hand the number of philosophical discussions he'd had with people holding multiple degrees in advanced physics. And thus far, his relationship with the voices in his head had been purely platonic. Suddenly, Chintz finds himself working alongside a dysfunctional team of scientists and their astonishing creations, seeking answers to age-old questions - answers that could change our concept of humanity. Of course, that's only if they can survive federal law enforcement, starvation, psychopathic figments of imagination, the hostile old man who lives across the street, and the end of the "known universe." Well, actually it's the end of "a" universe, that "only some people know about." But for Chintz, that may not be any better at all.

Review:   l highly recommended it to anyone and even if you are not in to this type of book it's good to read outside your favourite genre and try something new and improved your reading to different types of books and genre and authors. I rated this book 5 star on amazon and goodreads. I was sent this book for review and l really enjoyed reading it and l found it hard to put down once l started reading it and l am glad l have it on my read shelf and l normally do not read science books but this one was a great read.
