I've read this book last year. it was quite weird and funny that John Taylor has met his doppelgänger, Janos Szabo. The doppelgänger appeared to warn him about a danger that will occur, yet he failed to realize the message his doppelgänger sent. The sudden appearance of his doppelganager had created lots of mess in his mind. Because of the doppelganager, his relationship with his wife declined from time to time because he had spent most of time investigating the reason he met the doppelgänger. his wife said he was going crazy. After many attempts to find out the answer, he finally realized that his doppelgänger was giving him a message about the danger his wife and his baby daughter were facing. On the day of the incident, the cafe owner asked John Taylor's wife to help him look after his cafe as he wanted to send his mother to the doctors'. When John reached home, he saw a note lefty his wife informing him that she brought his daughter along to the cafe. Immediately after he read the note, he freaked out because he had realized that ey were in danger. He rushed to the cafe as fast as he could. On the way to th cafe, he'd heard sounds of explosions originating from the cafe. He was worried that his family members will eventually disappear from his life. At the scene, he saw the devastated site of explosion. He immediately assumed that his wife and his daughter has died in the debris. He wanted to go into the destroyed cafe, despite the danger and obstacles against him, yet the police asked him to get out from the building because it was too dangerous. He cried for help but nobody could do anything. After several hours, he walked home sadly. In the dark, he suddenly saw two shadows not far away on the street. When the shadows revealed themselves, he realized that his wife and daughter did not died In the gas explosion. He was so happy. His wife then told him what happened. She said that before entering the cafe, she met him (he was actually the doppelganager but she never knew until the end) stopping her from entering the cafe. John's daughter cried and said that he wasn't her father. His wife then realized that it was John's doppelganager. The ending of the story is the doppelganager has saved his family's lives.
This is kind of interesting and easy to read. :)

The main character is the man who saw a man looked really like him.
He was spending happy life in Budapest with his wife . But from that accident , he begins to see strange dream and wonders again that who was that man.
