Description

“I lost my thermos,” Sam said, and from that seemingly minor inconvenience, an ordinary house painting job in Detroit takes a mind-bending turn into the impossible.For a man like Fred, trying to live life on the straight and narrow, a dead man in a living room, a wall with a hidden door, and a tank of black water are all an invitation into an interdimensional riddle, where a stranger in a black suit might just be Fred himself.From author Joe Orange, The Bootstrap Paradox is a time-twisting thriller about choices, consequences, and the strange loops that bind us all.Will Fred be able to get out… before its too late? ★ PRAISE FOR THE BOOTSTRAP PARADOX ★"A lot of imagination went into this superb book. Mixes a couple of genres and kept me curious till the end." —Amazon Kunde"Very rad story! Have had a few friends pick this book up as well!

    • A very solid story
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it. The book mostly falls into what I would call a cosmic horror. The author does a great job keeping you invested in the story throughout, with an exception to chapter 10, which I felt was a little to drawn out. Occasionally the story includes humorous moments to break up tension and is done so well that it actually made me laugh out loud as we read over them. Edited: I also disagree with the editorial review on two points. It mentions several times that the "science behind" the wormhole was confusing, however I found it quite easy to follow/understand. The editorial also mentions that the "conversion from vengeful villain to willing accomplice" was not believable. While I think I know who the editor is referencing I would never in a million years describe the person as a "vengeful villain," and I though his change in attitude was actually quite understandable. ... show more

    • Entertaining read
The Bootstrap Paradox was an escape from the world we live in. It was fast paced with interesting twists. I admit that when Sam died, I jumped to the last pages to see if I wanted to continue..and I did. I am a long time follower of "Ed" so I was really interested in his presentation of the story. I was not disappointed, his humor and sarcasm shines through. A great read. ... show more

    • Well Written Story
What makes it well written? The characters are plausible and believable. I was way more interested in the people and their personalities than their circumstance. There are certain quirky cultural errors that the author made that made the story approachable. I look fwd to mor from the author.

    • A fanciful,humorous, and sometimes scary journey…
I’ve followed this author in his other endeavors for a long time. When I heard about this book, I knew I needed to give it a try. I tore through the book in two days. It’s a great read that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Highly recommended!

This book had me hooked. I had to pace myself so that I didn't read it straight through in a day.
