An Infinite Number of Parallel Universes by Randy Ribay

3.0

I wanted to like this so much more than I did. It had the ingredients for a really good story: a minority author, diversity in the main characters, just enough angst to set up an interesting plot. And yet I couldn't help but feel let down. The plot never developed as I expected and the characters (with the exception of Dante) were hard to connect to after their introductory chapters. (Archie, in particular, ended up being completely unlikeable for me and I wasn't pleased that his major faults seemed to just get glossed over.) Other characters came, provided tidbits of wisdom, and then wandered off again. And the ending felt ultimately anticlimactic, like it was meant to be some sort of great teen adventure--except it really wasn't. I was, sadly, left wanting more and not in a good way.
