Product Description
Joey Harker isn’t a hero.
In fact, he’s the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house.
But then one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.
Joey’s walk between the worlds makes him prey to two terrible forces—armies of magic and science who will do anything to harness his power to travel between dimensions.
When he sees the evil persons forces are capable of, Joey makes the only possible choice: to join an army of his own, an army of versions of himself from different dimensions who all share his incredible power and who are all determined to fight to save the worlds.
Master storyteller Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award-winning science-fiction writer Michael Reaves team up to make a dazzling tale of magic, science, honor, and the destiny of one very special boy—and all the others like him.

In “Excellent Omens” it was clear that this chapter was Neil Gaiman and that chapter was Terry Pratchett. With “InterWorld” there was no such clear honor. Missing obvious Gaiman-ness in the prose was a disappointment to me. But, his influence showed through clearly in the thoughts and plot devices. Also, I didn’t realize when I selected up “InterWorld” that it’s more of a young adult novel. That’s not permanently a setback, but here it was. The tale didn’t grab me so that I had to devour the book. It was appealing enough to keep reading, but not driving. When I read in the Afterword that it was originally meant as a description of a TV Series I had a better thought of where these two authors were coming from. I guess my main problem was that the descriptions and action did not seem very well fleshed out.

Don’t the authors owe an large debt of gratitude to Diane Wynne Jones for this particular multiverse concept? Readers might prefer her Chrestomanci books.The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1: Charmed Life / The Lives of Christopher Chant

I had a chance to read this in manuscript form, before it was published, and I thought then it would be a terrific book. Fantastic to see it finally in print, and I’m looking forwards to the movie version (the book has be optioned for the huge screen.)
Fantastic job, guys.

The binding in this book is bent, so every page is “cupped.” It is unlikely to hold up with multiple uses.
Since I personally bought this book to include in my junior high classroom library, excellent binding is vital and I am disappointed.
The content of the book lives up to its bestseller tag.

Interworld is not Gaiman at his best. I’ve seen his collaborations with Pratchett (Excellent Omens), and read a lot of his independent work, and this collaboration disappointed me a bit. The writing was fine, technically. It just wasn’t what I expected.
The premise is really cool – who wouldn’t like to read about a kid who can travel between dimensions? The science was a bit missing though, and the tale seemed like it had been cut from a longer series and pasted together, rushing from action scene to action scene lacking much time for exposition or world-building. As a result, it felt as though the main character had gone from ignorant, lost kid to savior of the multiverse in 6 seconds flat. For a young adult audience it’s a fantastic introduction to fantasy/sci-fi mashups, with a quick pace and and a odd mystery aspect (the identity of Joey’s helpers) which is revealed about middle through the book, but it all finished too soon for me. I’d really like to see a few more tales come out in this universe – maybe following some of the additional characters.
