Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-06 00:00:00 Daniel Martinez (Full review 5/13/18) I loved how this started out: guy wakes up trapped in an alternate reality (initially just a small, windowless office floor with no way in or out, and only one indifferent man to accompany him, who is somehow able to come and go as he pleases), and he must try to find his way back to his family in Connecticut, in the "real world." He does eventually learn how to leave the office and explore other areas of this parallel world, peopled with others who've gone missing in reality, but the story soon leaves all the metaphysical weirdness behind and becomes more straight science-fiction. I know some readers like to have everything explained, but the mystery of this strange dimension captivated me much more. I dug the surreal nature of this dreamworld -- divided into small sections only navigable by walking through "lines" that transport the person to another area -- but the story has a pretty big change of tone in the latter half (which I'd rather not go into for fear of spoilers), and it becomes much more of a standard sf thriller, one that would probably make for an entertaining movie or TV series, but didn't entirely work for me as a novel due to a lack of connection to the main character Poole. We're dropped right into his new life in this alternate world, with nothing to really make us care about his plight, which takes a bit of the tension away. Still, the strangeness of the dream-like world was enough to carry me through, and I'd still lightly recommend this to those looking for a little bit of mystery, sf, and weird all in one. 3.5 Stars.
