A review by casual_willy
The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter

3.0

I found this book to be one I have conflicting views on. I really enjoyed starting out (has to be said though I start every new book with excited anticipation!) and loved the final third but lost my way a little in the middle. I would actually go as far as to say I had to will myself to actually continue at about page 200. I'm so glad I did continue though as by the end I was fully engrossed again and was well and truly wrapped up in the ride. The depth of imagination of alternate world's at some points in this book did actually take my breath away to the point I felt like an excited child again. I will DEFINITELY be reading the following books in this series as I'm entirely hooked on the 'Long Earth' series now. I've rated this book 3 stars, on account of the dip in the middle, but would happily award 3.5 given the opportunity. Still a recommended read in my view.
