The Universe versus Alex Woods - by Gavin Extence

I did not know what to expect from this book. The initial precepts are unlikely, but far from impossible. The style of writing engaged me straight away. The book starts nearly at the end of the story and then Alex fills us in on the events that led to the conclusion. He is very likable, I felt, as he is so honest and well meaning, if often rather naive.

I found the book a thoroughly enjoyable read. I was entertained, amused, moved and educated - what more can one ask from a book? I progressed through the book at a good pace and reached that interesting ambivalence towards the end: I did not want the book to end, but I did want to know the conclusion of the story.
