Alternate Ending: A Novel ReviewI randomly found this book on Amazon, tried the sample and was hooked. I've always been a sucker for alternate universes (it's why I like Fringe and my favorite episode of Star Trek is "Mirror, Mirror") and Niz handles the concept very well.
Instead of doing your typical sci-fi thing -- the South won the Civil War, the Nazis won WWII, etc. -- Niz keeps it personal. Josh Miller is a nerd who can't make the tennis team with a serious crush on the cool girl. But when he jumps to another universe, he's the cool guy everyone is after on the verge of tennis stardom. What I liked about it was that the new universe wasn't all positive -- his younger brother Ben hates the alternate Josh -- and there were good reasons why the alternate Josh was a good tennis player (he worked hard at it.) The best part was that the novel stayed focused on the characters, and didn't get bogged down by the sci-fi concept.
All in all, I breezed through the book always wondering what was coming next. I would have loved a longer ending, but that's a minor quibble. It's a great read and I recommend it wholeheartedly. If you like sci-fi -- or just a good book with great characters -- you should buy this.Alternate Ending: A Novel OverviewSeventeen-year-old Josh Miller lives in a world of almosts. He's just friends with Hannah Taylor, the girl he's secretly in love with. He sits at the cool table but mostly gets made fun of, and he's number fifteen on a list of fourteen guys who are going to make varsity tennis. He's pretty much about to throw in the towel on his pathetic life. That is, until the day a tree-hugging physics professor tells Josh's class about string theory - the belief that with every decision we make, another version of us breaks free and starts its own reality. Everyone else thinks the teacher's just a nut, but Josh treats the professor's half-baked ideas as gospel. He acquires a special tool needed to bounce from one world into the next. Suddenly, Josh is thrust into an alternate universe in which he's the best junior tennis player in the United States and poised on the brink of superstardom. Hannah Taylor finally starts to notice him and he wins the adoration of the same kids in school who used to ridicule him. Josh's world of almosts turns into a world of everything and anything he's dreamed of.It all seems perfect until Josh's old problems start to creep in and infect his new universe. Blowing tennis matches, losing friends, a little brother getting into trouble with drugs. Pretty soon his dreamworld has started to look more like a nightmare and even things with Hannah are falling apart along with his budding tennis career.Will Josh end up trapped in a world that's even worse than the one he just escaped from, or can he finally write the alternate ending that fixes things before it's too late?Alternate Ending is a kindle paranormal in the tradition of Pittacus Lore, I Am Number Four and James Patterson, The Angel Experiment (Maximum Ride, Book 1).
