This was a short, funny read that I enjoyed immensely. It's told as a series of emails from the main character to his ex-girlfriend as he navigates the multiverse. The story is wild, irreverent, and absolutely ridiculous. I highly recommend.

I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately I have been unable to get into it. DNF @ 23%.

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

DNF at 23%.

Another book buried in my TBR pile. TBH, if you read the blurb I think you'll get a very good idea of the writing style and the Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure type of gormless characters that narrate the story. It was fast-paced and different but ultimately I didn't warm to either of the main characters and I found the blokey writing a bit irritating after a while.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I had tried multiple times to read this. Unfortunately, it never grabbed my interest. I appreciate the opportunity to have had the chance to read it though.

This book reads like you've discovered your drunken conversations with friends were recorded and you're listening to it the next day when you are sober.. It is very silly and very funny and I found myself laughing out loud often. I immediately picked up the sequel. I want to keep reading about Chip, Pete, Bobo and Nikkoli's shenanigans and wacky inter dimensional adventures.

This was a FANTASTIC read - I honestly cannot say enough good things about it... It was snarky and original and clever and absolutely one of the most fun books I've read this year. Rob Dircks has created a world that is believable, even in its most bizarre moments; characters that are endearing, even in their most inane; and a plot that is engaging and engrossing, even (especially?) when everything is running off the rails...

Chip is a delightful Everyman protagonist, full of personality quirks and foibles that would probably be infuriating in a real person, but are absolutely spot-on perfect in this story. His story arc is a nicely massaged personal growth tale, delicately buried in layers of infinite possibilities, ridiculously funny missteps, and a series of surprisingly sharp self-realizations that are delivered without an ounce of self-consciousness or preachy irksomeness. Pete is a fantastic foil for this, as are Tesla and the other secondary characters - all of whom provide just the right balance of personalities to keep the story relatable, regardless of which particular personality type you are/believe yourself to be.

The book is epistolary. I usually struggle with this as a format; it is difficult to write letters that don't feel forced while delivering adequate backstory and detail to really pull readers into the lives they are reading about. In this instance it worked perfectly though, and I found myself sucked into the story within the first pages. I think what makes the style work so well is the meticulous attention to detail - it's the little things, like the same date/time on every email, the grayness of the ITA, and the repetitive back-and-forth banter between Chip and Pete, that really make this story come together so tightly.

Honestly, I can't say enough good stuff here - read this one, you will NOT be sorry. It's hysterical and snarky and touching and clever and just plain fun.

Hands down, just a fun, fabulous book. I <3 all things Nikola Tesla. Great title, great idea, great characters, great story.

I couldn't do it. I tried finishing this book but had to tap out at 37%. Humor is very subjective so I am sure that there are people who find this book funny. Not me. The book is written as an email I can't leave the mind space of this deeply unfunny character. There is no tension because he is entirely too flippant about everything for me to be worried. I just felt sorry for Tesla for having to deal with the moron.

I thought this was a very funny book with some real comedy moments in it. The book was well written and made me want to read more from the author. I can highly recommend it

Enjoyable, funny, moving, and different. I enjoyed every slacker moment of the adventures of Chip, Pete, Bobo, Nikola, and the various iterations of reality and themselves. The use of emails to tell the story create just the right rhythm, and the authentic character voices make this one of my favorite reads this summer.

Chip is a bit of a slacker, working as a security guard on the night shift, but when he demands a desk for his empty room and discovers the lost notebook of Nikola Tesla in a locked drawer everything changes. Chip and his friend Pete decide to test out the Interdimensional Transfer Apparatus that Tesla set up in the hotel room where he lived. Having figured out the portal into the multiverse – they forget to mark the way back home and the adventure begins. Humour is so subjective and I suspect I’d find this funnier if I were a leftpondian. It’s not laugh out loud, but it’s quirky in a ‘Hey, dude, where’s my flying car?’ kind of way. There are times when Chip’s voice gets a bit wearing and the comedy is a bit thin, but Tesla saves the day in more ways than one. If you’re a Bill and Ted fan, you’ll like this.
