InterWorld

I enjoyed this story. The plot and characters were interesting, and it shows a very interesting new take on the idea of multiple universes.

In some places the writing was a little bit awkward, not as polished as I've come to expect from Neil Gaiman. I don't know anything about the writing style of Michael Reaves, but I don't think he deserves the blame.

I think what's likely is that it's a result of this story not being intended to be distributed as a book. It was originally a pitch for a television show, I'm guessing they had to make a lot of hurried modifications when there was a demand for it in book form.

There's not much character development. I think that's also a result of the story being written for television where the development happens over multiple episodes.

One thing I wonder: If every important decision splits off a new universe, what happens when you make an important decision when you're outside of them?

Interworld is a nice, light read. I recommend it.

This book was an easy listen, catching me quite early and letting me listen trough in almost one single setting. The plot is quite straightforward but builds good momentum, and the end is quite fast paced. It is not the usual Gaiman writing, this is not so dark and more young-reader oriented, but very enjoyable anyhow.

Recommended.

We are being set up here for a sequel, I can feel it in my multidimensional bones. Well written, well read, there is a clean line between good and evil that makes this pleasant fiction, but not up to Gaiman's usual level of ingenuity. It would make a great animated movie. Would I listen to the sequel? Probably not. But keeping the attention of a 52 year old woman with this type of story is worth some kind of kudos.
Kudos to youdos Mr. Gaiman, Mr. Reaves

Sliders meets Harry Potter. It's cool. It's light fare, but I enjoyed it even as an adult Sci-Fi Reader. The Narration is nicely done and well paced.

Not bad in the end. It took several chapters to really get my attention, but bith the story and the characters grew as the book progressed and by the end I was hooked. A good book for teen fantasy fans.

Gaiman and Reeves channel early Heinlein and AE Van Vogt in this updated pulp sci-fi adolescent fantasy. There is everything from the kid learning about special powers, steam punk scenes, a reluctant team turned loyal followers...you name it. Great for my 10 year old and it left us eagerly wanting the next book.

Being a Gaiman fanatic, I'm game for anything with his name on it. This one is worthy of a good listen, with fun for grownups and young adults alike. I enjoyed the interdimensional travel the main character embarks upon. A great way to spend your commute.

The story was good and moved great. The Narration was spot on (only Neil himself is better). It was a nice adult sci-fi read.

You know how you never know what you are going to get when you pick up a Neil Gaiman book? Well, it always worries me. Gems or garbage every time, no in between. This book is very unlike his usual style, no obscure references that made no sense whatsoever (to most of us, anyway) and nothing to really gross you out - this time. Very entertaining, worth getting!

Im not a big science fiction fan but I really liked this. good plot and excellent naration.
