The Long Earth: A Novel Audiobook

" My interest fizzled out after about 250 pages. The premise was good but the meager plot plodded along and I ceased to care about the characters. "

" It could have been much better. The potential for the story is unlimited, just add The Long Earth. But the storyline just tackles slightly some of the possibilities, leaving much to desire. In the end, it's too flat, too simple, too one dimensional, while in the same time drawing from too many ideas in the same time. "

" This was a fun, pleasant, easy read. The concept is great. The characters aren't particularly sympathetic, though, and there's very little tension. Or action. Nor is there any humor--which is fine, since this isn't a Discworld novel or marketed as humorous, but Pratchett's style feels a little empty without the humor laced in to support it. "

" The short extract from the 'High Meggas' was more enjoyable in style than the main book. An interesting idea but padded out into a whole book was not as good as I would have expected. Perhaps I've read too many Discworld novels "

" Good book. Not his greatest but worth a read. I love the multiverse idea. However late in the third act the book takes a weird philosophical turn, and is kind of heavy handed with it. Other then that, great book! "

" Great premise, execution could have been better. It meandered, and I'm not really sure where it landed. Maybe it just had too many good concepts, could even be a series, but too much was packed into one book. "

" I liked it. I hadn't heard anything about it, so I had no expectations, other than liking Pratchett. It was interesting; not especially wrenching or complex. I finished it in a day. "

" Slow. Takes an interesting setting nowhere. "

" Brilliant book but annoying ending - not saying why! "

" A decent 1st book in a series but at least a mini-conclusion would have been good. Will read the next though, and hopefully many more. Slightly reminiscent of Jasper Fforde's Shades of Grey, an unexpectedly serious book from a pun expert. "

" Idea was interesting but it seemed to mainly ask the same question over and over without answering it. Slow read. More philosophically focused and less plot focused. Plus, I've read endings like that before so it wasn't surprising. "

" I wanted to love this book but it just lacked something. Still, it was an entertaining read and much of the premise was interesting. "

" Brilliantly captured feel of the parallel multiverse concept. A great read. "

" Intriuging... "

" I love Pratchett, but this book just didn't keep my attention. Interesting concept, but I had to return the library book and don't care about getting it back to finish it. "

" Loved this! A different take on space travel I found fun. I listened to this one in the car. Wasn't thrilled with the narrator, but still an excellent story. Really hoping for a sequel. "

" Would have given this book five stars except I didn't like the way it ends. Left something to be desired. Very interesting read, though. "

" An engaging science fiction book about a perhaps-infinite string of parallel earths, and the mysterious creatures that inhabit the other earths. I enjoyed the mystery aspect but didn't like the cliffhanger ending. Eagerly awaiting the sequel! "

" Slow paced, but interesting and fun for all that. "
