Any thoughts on the Tails section?

My answer: 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I wrote about this in the last section. To me this was just too much. I guess this is good for people who want everyone to have a happy ending. I must say, I was waiting for Gray to meet up with Rachel there…

>2 bluebird_: But only a happy ending in an alternate timeline. Doesn’t take away the suffering of them all in the timeline we read.

It was nice to see Rachel and Vigor came back to live happy ever after in another timeline.

As I reflect on my reading of this novel I have come to the conclusion this chapter was the purpose of the novel, Rollins interpretation of life after death. All the science and predictions of doom and death leads to life and a new beginning in this chapter.
I feel it was a convoluted way to get there, but it's the authors novel.

I felt like it was a way to give everyone a happy ending. Most people can't conceive of a world where they don't exist on some sort of level.

>5 JohnDBurke: An interesting thought John.

>7 Andrew-theQM: I surmise trying to get to his theory in the Tails Section was the reason the book was disjointed, he waited to the end to state his hypothesis instead of first laying it out followed by supporting statements. (Plot Development). I realize easier to do in a debate format than in a novel.

I answered this in the previous post. I am interested though to hear all of these different views and intrigued at the idea that Rollins may have been leading up to this all along.
I did find his structure rather muddled, shooting as it did in so many different directions.
