Neil Gaiman And Michael Reaves Offer Up An Alternate World Spin : InterWorld
Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves are both award winning writers. They also both rose to prominence surface the novel arena. Gaiman scripted the Sandman comic series that lasted 75 issues plus specials. Since that time he's gone on to script many other things, including novels, television shows, short stories, movie scripts, and prolonged working in the comics arena. His work for Marvel Comics to originate the 1602 universe when heroes similar to the present-day Spiderman, Daredevil, remarkable Four, etc rose at 300 years ago has rightfully garnered a lot of attention. He also helped flesh out the mythos of the comics industry's best-selling title, Spawn.
Michael Reaves has written many television cartoon scripts, including Batman The curious Series, Ghostbusters, and others. He's also written short stories and novels.
According to the notes in the most recent book they have out together, Interworld, they got the idea for the book about ten years ago. Reaves joined Gaiman at his house and they sat down and wrote the book together. The idea had originally started out as a pitch for the television people. Since they had trouble explaining the view to television executives, they came up with the idea of writing a short novel about it. Even after the novels written, television wasn't ready to make a series.
Last year, the manuscript was given fresh life when it was shown around to some prospective publishers. Practically immediately, the book was greenlit for publication.
I enjoy a lot of Neil Gaiman's work. His comics are great, his short stories haunt, and his novels are ordinarily burst out loud laughing or truly epic. Sometimes both.
I've read some of Reaves's books, but I'm not as customary with his work. He seems to originate some curious worlds and some curious characters.
When I heard about Interworld, the factory sounded truly exciting. Fantasize a boy, Joey Harker, who could unquestionably run into any of his alternate selves on parallel worlds. I figured immediately that the book had kind of a Sliders or Marvel Comics Exiles feel. I had a lot of hopes for the book.
After getting the book in the mail today, I sat down and read it. It's an easy read. The prose just sails right along. And the story is simple. In fact, it's a diminutive too uncomplicated compared to what I was expecting. Granted that the book was written with a nine to twelve year old audience in mind, there was a lot of concentration on the architecture of the nothingness that stretched between the worlds. And not adequate focus on real character amelioration or even a plot. Both of those turn out uncomplicated as well.
I know the juvenile crowd will probably appreciate that, but this is the same shop that has been reading Harry Potter books that were 1000 pages long with convoluted and heavily articulated plots.
Still, this is Gaiman and there are flashes of brilliance as well as true emotion throughout. When he talks about his instructor Dimas, he sounds so true I couldn't help but wonder if Gaiman or Reaves unquestionably had a instructor like that. The "class assignments" were terrific, and found myself wishing for more of those.
The book moves at high speed once it gets up and going, which is unquestionably very quickly. however Joey tends to be left on his own through much of the book. He all the time seems to be leaving citizen behind and not production any true and lasting friendships for a long time. In fact, the story was depressing there for awhile because every person he met seem to die. including himself.
Overall, I was pretty happy with the book. I wish there had been more. But it felt like an curious cross between a Heinlein juvenile, an early Andre Norton adventure, and Roger Zelazny's Amber series. Interworld is a quick read with abundance of zip and provides a host of ideas with lots of action.
