In Egg Drop Soup, an alien object allows people to explore countless realities populated by a host of mysterious beings. I like the Chesapeake setting, the beautiful scenery, the quirky inhabitants. My favorite character in the book is Nautilus, a very scary, deadly, and perhaps even sympathetic girl. Perhaps parallel universes like the parallel-Chesapeake exist. Someday I'd like to visit some of the Chesapeake settings...

Most of the books in Pickover's Neoreality series have a bit of fun strangeness tossed in, and Egg Drop Soup is no exception. For example, I like the cryptic puzzle in the Enochian language that David finds in the library. I've read the four books in the Neoreality set (they can be read in any order) and really liked this one.

If Philip K. Dick were alive today he would be writing the Neoreality series. Pickover continues the task in Egg Drop Soup where parallel worlds make us ask, how can be sure we are living in the same reality we were living in yesterday? Whether you like real science, religious symbolism, or a fun story to keep you awake; this book will surely entertain you. Wonder and surprises await. You will never look at an egg the same way.

There are parallel universes all around us, just millimeters away -- or so this book would make it seem. From the opening pages, I found the book pulled me in. The egg falls from the sky and is so mysterious that we just have to learn more. I love the interplay between the main characters: the romance, the strangeness... All around them are little roads that lead to new worlds, new shores to explore, and eerie seas to sale on.
