As soon as you read the prologue of this book you're hooked, wondering about the kind of people and places portrayed. The explanation subsequently unfolds, depicting a clique of students at an academy on our planet with a unique program, involved in an exploration of a new mental scientific method that can transport an individual to another universe--and hopefully back.In clear, fast paced writing, the author describes the method as it is associated with an exciting murder mystery that involves others at the school, including a sinister villain. Using computer technology, the resulting phenomenon of "integrating" and "reintegrating" whisks the characters away, to and from a strange universe populated by a civilization of conflicting societies with exciting chases and brawls depicted. In crisp, simple script the teenagers discuss religion and consider the possibility that their experiences represented dreams rather than actually "transferring memories to another analog" of themselves on a planet located in a different universe, then back again ("reintegration").
In the story, the author provides an esoteric description of breaking a password to access hidden files. Judging by his use of computer terminology, it is apparent that the writer of this book must be a geek. At times some humor is interjected such as when one of the friends, a Vietnamese boy, relates how he asked his mother if Buddha Claus will bring Christmas presents.
The book ends with an epilogue that will make the reader think. In conclusion, "The Reintegrators"is a terrific read for sixteen year olds and up; they won't be bored. That would also include fourteen year olds whose parents condone four letter curse words. The Reintegrators is a 5-star book for young adults.

The Reintegrators Will Weisser 9780989574907 Books Reviews
This book reminded me of a cross between a choose your own adventure book and the movie Inception. You kept flipping into different worlds and back but it was actually reasonably easy to follow. It is not a heavy read but definitely had some meaningful themes underlying it, like the nature of free will. I enjoyed it greatly.
I read most of The Reintegrators on an airplane and I found myself drawn in by its quick pace, frequently laughing at its clever dialogue, and challenged to understand the heroes' journey. At one point, the flight attendant said to me, "That must be a great book you're reading!" She was correct, but she was also flirting with me. Will Weisser has created an intelligent, meticulously crafted fantasy/sci-fi universe with rich contemporary characters heroes of varying degrees of likability and villains with whom I could identify. The plot was complex, but forcing the reader to grapple with the discontinuous nature of universe-hopping formed an alliance between reader and protagonist, who face some of the same challenges.
This is a fun book. Worth the price and more; worth your time. Not guaranteed to get flight attendants to flirt with you.
The first thing I want to make clear is how masterfully well-written this book is on a technical level. Clarity without austerity, description without purple prose, witty and natural dialogue, all tied up in a gripping, extremely original story and starring a relatable, three-dimensional hero--THE REINTEGRATORS has it all and it's definitely worth the money. It also has one of the most original methods of crafting parallel plotlines I've ever seen and I can't wait to see Weisser get comfortable and really experiment with it.
Warning may include spoilers.
My only gripe is Mr. Weisser's extremely light touch when it comes to details and exposition. I feel like I'm reading the second book in a series, and REINTEGRATORS feels like it could have gone on for a hundred more pages and I would have been all the happier for it. If this book was a movie, where a light touch is treasured, it would be a very fast-paced and intensely enjoyable movie. As a matter of fact, it reads quite a lot like a really good summer scifi blockbuster, albeit somewhat more cerebral and complex than your usual DIVERGENT or HUNGER GAMES moviegoer.
There's little to no background given to the subject of metanautics--the practical effects of artifacets were fantastic, but I would have loved to have seen much, much more historical information about the absolutely fascinating practice of metanautics itself, as well as a better explanation of how artifacets work. The sort of information Teddy would have seen on his study binges in the library secret mathematical societies in the Renaissance, Dark Age cults, government experiments, redacted documents, private correspondence, crumbling old diagrams that fully explain the artifacet function. There are a few teases at revelations like these but it never really goes full MKULTRA. Conspiracies and secret conflicts are hinted at but never really explored, castes and designations such as "Naturals" serve as major pivots but there isn't much under the rock when you turn it over. This goes back to filling out the legend of metanautics--I really want to know what makes Naturals tick, why they are what they are.
Likewise, the worlds Teddy travels to are amazing to look at and feature stunningly unique aspects, but without giving these alien cultures historical gravitas they become facades, like taking a quick tour around the hollow sets of western movies. There is one particularly original and intriguing world where much of the terrain is covered in bathroom tiles, and I really wanted to know more about why and how this came to be beyond the quick explanation provided. I also wanted to know more about the societies and customs of these otherworlds and see more of their cities.
Very little physical description of characters results in a loss of individuality. No characters quite suffered from this like Kevin and Charles, who could almost be the same person (I welcomed one portion of the story where one of them integrates into a body with a distinctive physical quality, because it was suddenly much easier to tell them apart). At one point I had to take a hiatus from the book for a few days in order to focus on some work, and when I came back it took several pages to remember that Teddy was the protagonist, not Kevin. There isn't much delving into their motivations and histories either, and several supporting characters that seem integral to the plot turn out to be red herrings.
All in all, I might have typed a lot up there but it really just comes down to bantamweight pacing. REINTEGRATORS has quick footwork and punches like a piledriver, but lacks follow-through and scope. If you're looking for an engaging action ride built on a foundation of fringe psychoscience like remote-viewing, this book is a damn good read. I'll be on pins and needles waiting for the next one, and hoping Mr. Weisser takes us deeper into the history of metanautics.
