I did like it overall. I wouldn't have finished it if I didn't. If it was a 600 page monster, I'd have stopped but at 316 it was OK.

It's uniqueness and unpredictability were good and perhaps it's just my mind that had difficulty working out the details.
It's definitely difficult to wrap your head around it. People who love physics or thinking about multi-verses would like it the most. Personally most of the stuff just boggles my mind.

Spoiler:
If I recall correctly the ending basically comes down to the fact that Alice planned and lures one of her little brothers to the creation of the new universe. Each time she sends the little brother into this new universe where he has the power to actually be a "God" and form the universe to his will and since he's the only lifeform there's no competition for planets/resources etc. So in affect Alice constantly creates new universes for her brothers to inhabit.
