When Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award winner Michael Reaves teamed up, they created the bestselling YA novel InterWorld.

InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war.

Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teensâ??and tweens and adultsâ??who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream

    lampbane: Similar premise to InterWorld, but unique in its own way, especially with a fun James Bond-esque outlandishness. First part of an ongoing series, which is good, because it hasn't been said if there will be more InterWorld books yet.

    Time for the Stars di Robert A. Heinlein (espertus)

If this had just been written by an author I'd never heard of, I might've given it two stars, but since it has Gaiman's name on it I hold it to a higher standard. After reading this, I can only think of sketchy reasons for why Gaiman's name is on this piece of garbage.

It doesn't read like his collaboration with Terry Pratchett: "Good Omens". There is no mark of his hand at all. The writing is clunky and the similes are just so bad that they are like leftover school pizza (almost exactly like that). The protagonist is an idiot, and unfortunately it is only by his idiocy that the plot moves at all. Any good possible uses of the many-worlds setting are wasted in favor of paper villains and a war that fails to feel like it matters in any way.

I quick and captivating read, as it's actually a young adult book. The story is very Gaimanesque, the writing style not so much - it's obvious that Gaiman's partner in crime did most of the writing. I found the writing style a bit naive, it reads like someone's first book ever. Having read the bit about the authors in the back cover, it's obvious why; Michael Reaves is actually a television writer who wrote Emmy winning Star Trek episodes. Interworld was originally supposed to be a TV show, and it does seem a bit like a pilot - the big plot is solved in the end, but there are some lose ends left.

I like the concept of the book, it made me think that Buffy the Vampire Slayer would be a HEX show and Doctor Who would be a binary show, sort of... ( )

I don't remember much about this book, it's been a while since I read it, but I gave it away since, so I guess I didn't like it very much. I think I found it to be too childish... ( )

Don't listen to the "Old Man" Joey Harker - you and your team are just the kind of heroes I can get behind:

**Reluctant Hero filled with fear and confusion- but resolute eventually
**A new team Walking right into well-laid traps
**Problematic interpersonal communication (especially considering that everyone is a variation of Joey Harker).
**...and Hue! Gotta love that Mudluff. What are you Hue? I think I know but I'm not sure.


NOTE: The BIG Trap could have been expanded upon (say, someone at Altiverse was actually a HEX operative...that's what I initially thought - which could have created glorious inner-conflict because a variation of a Joey would have been a Betrayer of all the other Joeys.) but I guess it would have been to obvious

The Interworld is the interdimensional/multidimensional/parallel universes through the eyes of a teenager thrust into the boots of "Hero" and blundering all the way to the end. I am a fan of Joey Harker because if I think about it, at age 15, I'd have probably made the same mistakes on a mission or worse regardless of all the Altiverse training.

It's a psychedelic and enjoyable theory of multiworlds which could easily become a cult favorite for the new generation in the same way Back To The Future was such a hit for my mom and dad's generation (and I love BTTF). Also, after reading the note at the end - those TV Executives who couldn't grasp this concept were a bunch of **#$% because honestly>/i>, this would be an easy sell at any of the Streaming services today.

One of the best scenes is at the beginning with all the variations hating Joey for something that happened to another variation of Joey. And he says, simply: "I can't hate myself forever".
