(Another reviewer of this book referred to this frame of mind as 'logic-hobbled'. And if you are the sort of person who thinks in these terms - here are the limitations, now what are the implications of those limitations? - then you WILL NOT like this book. In fact, all of these rules raise some interesting questions. Also, A can't access foreign languages fast enough for fluency, which raises some interesting questions about the nature of language acquisition as related to A. A can 'access' the memories of A's host, but only in regard to facts, not feelings. A never leaps into the same person twice.ĥ. And what would happen if A possessed an astronaut on launch day?)Ĥ. (Which suggests that one way for A to never leap would be to travel west fast enough. if A were in the Central time zone rather than Eastern? Does A spend exactly twenty-four hours in each host?), but relative is implied. It isn't clear whether midnight is relative or absolute (i.e., would A leap at 11 P.M.

And what happens if a host dies while A is in possession?ģ.

The number of suitable hosts will go down, and their geographical distance will increase. This limit plus the previous raise questions about what will happen when A gets to be, say, ninety. A's leaps have some sort of geographical upper limit the only way for A to, say, leave the state is if the person A leaps into leaves the state that day. At the time of this story, A is sixteen.Ģ. A leaps only into a host of approximately the same age, and A appears to age in the same progression as a human (that is, A at one is mentally indistinguishable from a human at one). There are a few rules limiting the leaps:ġ.

A has no body of A's own, having been leaping since A was an infant at least. Sam Beckett A quantum-leaps from person to person, landing in a different host each day. I'm in the minority here: I didn't like Every Day, and the more I think about the book, the more it angers me.
