Metaphysics meets physics in a romp through the multiverse,
By Kevin Roche (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dante's Equation (Hardcover)
An excellent read. This book nicely mixes scientific research, with shadowy military types and repeated flash-backs into the darker recesses of our near past, before exploding into dramatic leaps into the multiverse. It's a nice moral tale but not in a preachy way. Well worth reading.

absolutely brilliant!,
By Zaid (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dante's Equation (Hardcover)
I won't give out the plot here, but I REALLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys jane jensen's previous books (Judgement Day AKA millennium rising, or the Gabriel Knight series). Its plot is gripping, I found myself finishing this book too soon. You'll get hooked! You might want to read an excerpt from the first chapter, found on the author's official website.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent beginning but disappointing ending,
By
This review is from: Dante's Equation (Hardcover)
When I started this book I really enjoyed what I was reading - it struck me as being what the Da Vinci Code could have been like with a competent author at the helm. That feeling lasted until about half-way through, when the plot suddenly degenerated into a kind of pseudo-science-fiction mish-mash which was completely unbelievable on all levels - no matter what your personal feelings about parallel universes or multiverses. I persevered for another couple of chapters, and then gave up. I simply couldn't be bothered to finish it.
That said, the author's writing is excellent, with good characterisation, crisp dialogue and formidable descriptive powers. If only she could devise a sensible plot ...
