Rezension

Praise for All Our Wrong Todays

"Entertainingly mixes thrills and humor."-Entertainment Weekly

"[An] amazing debut novel. . . . Dazzling and complex. . . . Fearlessly funny storytelling. . . . In the alternative reality of our own day when many long for the chance to turn back time, some solace might be found in the masochistic pleasures of this trippy and ultimately touching novel."-The Washington Post

"Instantly engaging. . . . A timeless, if mind-bending, story about the journeys we take, populated by friends, family, lovers, and others, that show us who we might be, could be-and maybe never should be-that eventually leads us to who we are."-USA Today

"Mastai's model, openly acknowledged, is Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, with its short chapters and snappy punchlines. He has caught the tone very well: a narrative voice at once wise and naïve, indignant and resigned, flip and deeply sad."-The Wall Street Journal

"All Our Wrong Todays is an incredibly creative work. It's as if Mastai time traveled and took copious notes of what a future utopian world would be. The science is as engaging as the romance. Mastai has mastered the art of endearing himself to an audience through both knowledge and entertainment. It's definitely out of this world-or an alternate universe."-Associated Press

"Imagine a world with flying cars, no aging, and casual trips to the moon. This one's about a guy who lives in that world, but accidentally shifts into the reality we all know . . . and it might be better for him. . . . We're hooked. Think: Outlander meets Back to the Future."-The Skimm

"An entertaining romp." -The Guardian

"Shades of sci-fi, but also an endearing comedy about family and friendship."-New York Post

"[All Our Wrong Todays] earns the case it makes for the messiness, heartbreak, and imperfections of our world, and in doing so helped reconnect me to my fellow humans, whom, at the moment, I find inscrutable and frightening in equal measure."-Ron Currie, Chicago Tribune

"A multiverse trans-timeline love story. . . . All storytelling is time travel, but not all time-travel stories are worth telling, and though I don't have the word count to properly place All Our Wrong Todays in the pantheon of chrono adventures (somewhere between Voyagers and Ken Grimwood's Replay), it more than deserves to be on readers' shelves in any timeline."-The Dallas Morning News

"All Our Wrongs Today belongs in a burgeoning genre of books like Andy Weir's The Martian that wrap self-deprecating dad humor around unabashedly nerdy science. . . . Refreshing."-GQ

"You don't have to be a sci-fi fan to become totally enthralled with this fresh, time-travel novel by screenwriter Mastai. . . . An utterly clever, entertaining love story."-RealSimple

"On top of this brilliant philosophical premise of parallel versions of one's life and the people in it-of what might have been had history unfolded different-Mastai's language is also rife with an infectious humor you won't be able to stop reading."-Harper's Bazaar

"All Our Wrong Todays is the mind-bending science fiction romance you need to read."-Mashable

"Witty, thoughtful, and entertaining."-Houston Chronicle

"Brilliant. . . . All Our Wrong Todays is a stunning work that adeptly broadens the sci-fi genre by giving these faces true believability."-Electric Review

"There is a love story at the core of this novel, and it impacts Tom's decisions about which world he wants to inhabit." -Popular Mechanics, Best of the Year

"This is a science fiction love story that is by turns funny and wistful and smart, while remaining fully invested in how being human feels. Mastai has a sure hand with all of the elements of storytelling. . . . Mastai's jaunty prose is essential to the vibrant and engaging story."-Locus Magazine

"A novel filled with humor and heart, and saturated with insight, intelligence, and mind-bending invention."-BookBrowse

"Fascinating, intelligent, and writt

Interesting and realistic time travel story!

Bewertung aus Berlin am 05.05.2021

Bewertungsnummer: 1424350

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Honestly, I loved how kind of different Mastai's writing style is. Straight to the point and not too long chapters (which I love). However, I am not a native speaker and this was the first time an English book was quite hard to understand at some points, because of the scientific explanations. They are pretty interesting but as I said, hard to understand at first. I think especially the end was very confusing (I don't spoiler). BUT still is made very realistic and really enjoyed reading it. I was shocked that it was hist FIRST novel!! Thumbs up, give it a try everyone.
