The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
Ten people attended this meeting at the North Village library. The Long Earth is set in a universe where there are a large number of parallel worlds to our own Earth, each slightly different. The story follows a pair of adventurers who travel between the worlds to explore them. Nine had read at least one of the authors before, and eight people started this book. Three people read the book electronically. Only two people managed to finish this book, which was explained by the comments of most group members.
Although several people thought the writing was clean, and that the concept and several ideas were interesting, most felt that the execution was lacking. Many people commented that the book was lacking in plot, that the plot was “vague”
