Each time with a fresh sheet of paper created at ' that special moment in 1988 ' and folded just slightly differently ever time? Was this a deeply spiritual cautionary tale about free will?

Was this a messy experiment by some beings who control time? Was it an object lesson in non-Einsteinian Physics, with time and space being folded and unfolded like an origami project. The less he did to pull back the curtain the more I liked the structure of the novel. The very randomness of this possibility is sooooooo alluring. I understand what you mean about being unsatisfied, but with due respect I disagree with dissatisfaction. I don’t think they filmed “the book” (there’s just too much left out), but I still enjoyed it. I thought the same about The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Apparently, in his “normal” universe, Oswald was just a patsy. Does that mean that time is “like a river” - it has to flow down the established path? A case of “you can’t make changes”, perhaps? Since we are early in the book, we don’t know the mechanics of the world.īut then, later, the two of them make HUGE changes in the timeline. When he first tries to stop the assassination, it continues on with another assassin. My biggest thing - the way he handled the Kennedy assassination. Why only three people replay? Do multiple replay cycles happen at the same “time”?īut that’s just whining. I still am unsatisfied with the ‘science’ of it.
