Neil Gaiman (Author of Stardust) co-authored this book and this was truly the only real reason that I read it. However, I'm glad I did. The authors write of Joey Harker, a young boy who discovers that he can 'walk' from one alternate reality to another. He discovers that there are many versions of himself from these parrallel realities and that they are fighting to keep the balance between the magic worlds and the technological worlds. There are those who wish to conquer the alternate worlds and subject them to their magical rule, while others are trying to conquer them in the name of technology. The 'alterverse' is most benefitted when the two are balanced, thus Joey joins the alternate versions of himself in the battle to maintain this balance. My only complaint is that the book leaves the reader hanging with no promise of a sequel. Otherwise, it was a fun read. My wife says that I'm too easy to please; she's probably right. I like most books that I read as long as they aren't offensive. Interworld is a book that is good for all ages. It can be fun and appealing in different ways to each age group.
Would I Read It Again?: Only if they write a sequel.
