Book Review: A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray

Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.
Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.
Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.
A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.

 žA Thousand Pieces of You is one of the most amazing book I’ve read in 2015. This book reminds me why science-fiction is one of my favorite genre. This book made me mesmerized, astonished, sad, happy,..

žAs you see in the plot, it is about parallel universes which is so different topic for me. I really want to read because when I saw in Goodreads and read the plot, I knew this book is interesting because I never read a book about parallel universes and that makes me more curious about reading.

žI bought A Thousand Pieces of You in Book Depository and when it came to my home, this makes my day brightful and I got a hardcover version which is so beautiful.

ž

ž   I think this book’s best part for me is science-fiction parts. Because while I was reading, I can imagine how the Firebird works and how it looks like. That’s because of Claudia Gray’s amazing writing style.

       THE CHARACTERS
        žMarguerite Caine: She is so strong character and she is determined to take her revenge from her dad’s murderer. If she wants to catch the boy who killed her father-Paul-, she have to try to go to another parallel dimension which is so dangerous because she hasn’t use that before and noone use the Firebird except Paul. Also her friend Theo is determined to come with her and they didn’t know that would be so dangerous job because they don’t know the truth. Marguerite don’t want to believe Paul is guilty because she know him very well for a long time.

  žPaul Markov: I didn’t believe he was guilty at the firsttime because I really love Paul; his relationship with Marguerite is so sweet and I love Paul in parallel universe in Russia. He is Marguerite’s guard and he is so strong.

žThe Firebird has found by Marguerite’s parents and her parents are scientists. Instead of, she is interested in art. I love her feelings about love and these are quotable scenes for me. 

ž  I really like this quote becasuse it describe how the parallel dimension works:

ž   “Apparently, when people travel between dimensions, their physical forms are "no longer observable," which is a quantum mechanics thing, and explaining it involves this whole story about a cat that's in a box and is simultaneously alive and dead until you open the box, and it gets seriously complicated. Never ask a physicist about that cat.” 

 

       “Every form of art is another way of seeing the world. Another perspective, another window. And science –that’s the most spectacular window of all. You can see the entire universe from there.” 

        “I would love you in any shape, in any world, with any past. Never doubt that. -Lt. Markov” 

 žWhen I heard the second book comes out, I was so happy because the 
ending is not like ending at all. This book will come 
out in November and I have already missed the 
characters.

žI love the first cover more but the second one 

is also so pretty! 

And these covers make me want to read the 

first one again!

ž

žIf you love science-fiction, young adult, romance books you will definitely love A Thousand Pieces of You. Parallel universe thing is so unique from the other books and Claudia Gray’s writing style is so absorbing. I will recommend this book because it is one of the best book I’ve ever read. Before I started to read this book, I had high expectations too because of the plot but when I finished it, I don’t want to leave the world of imagination about real parallel universes.

ž I gave 5-stars definitely and I can’t wait to read the second one! J
