A review by ghostmuppet
Hollow World by Michael J. Sullivan
3.0
I am a little torn about this book. There were elements that I really enjoyed, others not as much. I liked how it started, then the time travel and exploration of the new world (Hollow World itself and the people within it i thought had the grounding for a great story).
The was the latter half that seemed a little run of the mill. 2 people pitched against each other, preventing the doom of the planet etc. Not bad ideas, but with the start of the book I think I was expecting it to go in a different direction. The premise reminded me a little of a Planet of the Apes film (I wont say which one to avoid any spoilers).
The audio book was well produced, and I think the narrator did fairly well with distinguishing between the characters - considering they were supposed to be very alike.
I am not certain if there will be a sequel. I hope there will be, but maybe with a story arc that's not so encompassing or world altering.
All in all, I enjoyed the book, but was let down a little by the ending story. Keep up the good work Mr Sullivan.
