The Long Earth

This was great. And I'm looking forward to the sequel (although at the time I started I was not aware of a sequel existing.. silly me).

The plot starts out in Madison, Wisconsin (USA) with a technical diagram of a device being posted online for the whole world to see. Quickly children/teens start assembling the device from parts they picked up at the Electronics store. As soon as they have they flick the switch, and ppooooff.. they have no idea where they are, and feel sick upto the point of throwing up. What happened?
They “stepped” to a parallel version of Earth.

A very original plot and interesting features that combines different paths of evolution and lots of other ingenious stuff. A funny and light footed read, with an exciting and original story. 5 stars.
