InterWorld

De: Neil Gaiman, Michael Reaves

Narrado por: Christopher Evan Welch

Joey Harker isn't a hero.

In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house. And 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 those forces are capable of, Joey makes the only possible choice. He joins an army of his own, an army of versions of himself from different dimensions who all share his amazing 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 create a dazzling tale of magic, science, honor, and the destiny of one very special boy and all the others like him.

Awesome

InterWorld is awesome, exciting and a bit silly. It is worth the time. You will love it.

Good books are hard to find

loved it every word every scene acting was wonderful just a really good book yup

great entertainment

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.

Good

The book was good but I'm not sure I'd read the series. I might though...I liked the humor.

great entertainment!

Would you consider the audio edition of InterWorld to be better than the print version?

because of the things that are complicated to explain on paper like sounds and bleeps

What was one of the most memorable moments of InterWorld?

HUE! loved Hue!

What about Christopher Evan Welch’s performance did you like?

great job, good performance

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I ate it up in 3 days

Great story

I love this story. Wish it were a little longer. Thank you. Looking forward to listening to the next. Neil Gaiman story on my list.

Enjoyable adventure in space-time & elsewhere

Joey Harker has no sense of direction. He has even managed to get lost in his own house.

But one day, on a social studies assignment, he outdoes himself. He wanders out of his own world into a neighboring dimension where he doesn't exist.

Beings from assorted other neighboring worlds and dimensions are now after him for his worldwalking ability. There are the people from Hex, who want to boil him down to his essence, and use him to power their ships. There's also another empire among these alternate worlds, ruled by science. Earth itself is somewhere in the middle, leaning science, not yet irrevocably committed--or conquered by either side. There is also InterWorld, an organization, backed by whom we don't know, committed to keeping balance between the opposing forces.

Joey's main adventures in this first book in the series are with Hex and InterWorld. He's believed to be the most gifted new Walker in many years, and Hex wants to, as noted above, cook him down to his essence and use that to help power their fleet of conquest.

This is obviously not a good career choice, and Joey is recruited by Jay, an InterWorld agent who is in fact an older version of Joey himself, to be an InterWorld agent.

He's got a lot to learn in a short time, and the first training mission he and his team are sent on goes very, very wrong.

This is not high literature. It does not reach the heights one might expect of a Neil Gaiman book. It's a young adult adventure in space-time and related dimensions. It's fun. It won't be for everyone, especially if you're expecting some of the really fine work Gaiman often produces, but I enjoyed it.

Recommended with the caveat noted above.

I bought this audiobook.

Fun and entertaining

I just love this book there were a couple of things that felt a little disappointing but overall is good

Top of the line

When you remember that the first stories known to man were in the Oral Tradition , we are fortunate to have this author in our generation.

Awesome in every way

Great great narrator. Another cool story from Neil Gaiman’s crazy, creative brain. If the reader is not even remotely familiar with hyper dimensional space or nonEuclidean geometry, I would recommend buying the book so you can see the words as you listen. Oh, and Google up some science stuff 😝
