review 1: The Walls of the Universe is an amazing book about traveling the universe, well universes. The story is about John and John, actually John Prime. John is your average high school student and farm boy until suddenly he's confronted with himself - John Prime. Prime lets John in on a little secret - there are more universes than just our own, more than one of you (well John in this instance). Prime coaxes John into trying out the universe traveling device, so that he can visit the other universe's, just like Prime has been doing for about a year. There's a misunderstanding between the two that John realizes as soon as he's left, thus the book takes on the telling of John and Prime.Paul Melko wrote an amazing story about the possibility that for every choice you make in this u... moreniverse, there's universe where you made the other choice. It's that thought that makes the book so appealing. With this novel, there are thousands of other Earth's, each unique, each depicting a different outcome than our own. I definitely recommend this book for any reader who enjoys thought provoking stories and those who enjoy adventure in the unknown.
review 2: I enjoyed Walls of the Universe. Not only was it a good Science Fiction read, it also served well as a character and scene study and hinted to a great practice for aspiring writers to try; that of forming a story of a person traveling through multiple universes meeting people who are slightly different than the versions of those people that they know from their own universe.Or just read and enjoy. less
