Representaion During Books Coincidence
A train of seemingly random events - coincidence? Or something much more sinister? A wrong number here, a case of mistaken identity there, a chance meeting with a stranger who knows your best friend. Most people dismiss such things as trivial, unimportant. Mere coincidence. Or could there be a hidden pattern in these seemingly random events? George Daly's life has been as unremarkable as most people's, until the day he finds himself going through his dead father's possessions. He discovers a photograph of himself as a boy, but he has no memory of where it was taken, nor does he recognize the people with him. As he investigates further, he experiences an increasingly bizarre chain of coincidences that soon threaten to unravel his whole world. Before long he finds himself fighting for his sanity and even his survival.List Containing Books Coincidence

I was totally swept up by the first half of this book with its amazing plot. When the story turned seedy and dark, however, I got disillusioned. I also felt the ending was a bit of a cop-out.Read it twice. Could not remember anything about the story when I retread it, which in a way was a good thing. It is a very strange storyline!
There will be spoilers in this review First off if you're a fan of Jonathan Carroll you may enjoy this book. You start one story of coincidences, which I wanted more of, but hen you begin the journey of George and Larry. There were many times that I felt very confused but I just rolled with because it was still interesting. Then it's a story of life and death. I did get a bit confused on who lived at first. If you don't want to think don't read this book. If you aren't interested in philosophy
Disappointing ending. combo of philosophy & sci-fy
It's been a long time since I read The Man Who Turned Into Himself - which I liked ok and have given to a lot of people just to hear their complaints about it. This book has a lot in common with that one - variations on a theme - but I got into this one faster and think it was more fun. Fast, easy, light reading that could spur fun thoughts if you felt like thinking about the ideas this guy could refine. Explanations are an art form he says at the end and that they are. I'm no good at explaining
It was a roller coaster of emotions...Who? what? were?...Then it slowly comes to the point were you say "Just hold on a minute"..This is not possible or is it?I liked this book makes you think, makes you think a lot.
I just wanted to read a book without having to write a review, and also without having to think too much. Well, Coincidence is a nice read, it has some twists and turns and some very unexpected scenes. It is all a bit overdone but it is nicely written. It brougth a smile on my face.
