This is purely subjective, but I expected a lighter plot, with deeper characters. This is not to say it's not well-written, but I couldn't enjoy the story overall. Ultimately, I found this book rather dull, despite the very quick pace and action-driven plot.
The actual execution is considerably more chaotic. This book is more of the latter a combination of chaos theory and sci-fi, combined with the urges, desires, and emotions of a mentally screwed up teenage boy. Nothing comes without its consequences, as demonstrated in The Butterfly Effect, The Monkey's Paw.etc. From our childhood fantasies of the genie in the lamp à la Aladdin, the innocence of such wishes turned into a more nuanced version as we grow up and learn that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Let's be honest here, who among us hasn't at one time or another, yearned for the ability to make wishes. A butterfly flapped its wings off the coast of Brazil and I ended up not enjoying this book, can't we just leave it at that so I don't have to get all analytical?
