Book Reviews of InterWorld
Book Review: A Good Afternoon Read...
Summary: 4 Stars
Interworld is not Gaiman at his best. I've seen his collaborations with Pratchett (Good 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 lacking though, and the story seemed like it had been cut from a longer series and pasted together, rushing from action scene to action scene without 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 great introduction to fantasy/sci-fi mashups, with a fast pace and and a quirky mystery aspect (the identity of Joey's helpers) which is revealed about halfway through the book, but it all ended too soon for me. I'd really love to see a few more stories come out in this universe - maybe following some of the other characters.
