Product Description:
Joey Harker isn't a hero.
In fact, he's the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house.
But then one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.
Joey's walk between the worlds makes him prey to two terrible forces—armies of magic and science who will do anything to harness his power to travel between dimensions.
When he sees the evil those forces are capable of, Joey makes the only possible choice: to join an army of his own, an army of versions of himself from different dimensions who all share his amazing power and who are all determined to fight to save the worlds.
Master storyteller Neil Gaiman and Emmy Award-winning science-fiction writer Michael Reaves team up to create a dazzling tale of magic, science, honor, and the destiny of one very special boy—and all the others like him.

Although the basic idea was interesting (multiple versions of one character across the multi-verse banding together into an organization to fight evil), the book itself was only so-so - definitely not up to Mr. Gaiman's usual standards.

This review is for the audiobook version of the story.
Yes, the story was a little campy and played mightily amongst the clichés of both science fiction and fantasy, but generally I thought this was delightful. Never a book that I would have had the patience to sit down and read, but having the audiobook version read to me was very enjoyable (despite the annoying bleeps of the home coordinates) and the reader was quite talented. I wouldn't mind listening to more stories read by Christopher ... Read More

Don't the authors owe an large debt of gratitude to Diane Wynne Jones for this particular multiverse concept? Readers might prefer her Chrestomanci books.The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1: Charmed Life / The Lives of Christopher Chant

The story is like the beginning of something great. I wanted more. Apparently, it was meant to become an animation or film project but it never took off. That's a shame. I could read more stories about the Joes... It'd be great to see it to.

I wasn't aware that this was a "young adult" book until I received it. No problem, since, as always, Neil Gaiman delights with clever story-telling and memorable characters. It is, perhaps, a somewhat quicker read due to being geared toward a younger, somewhat more distractable audience, but certainly not a disappointment by any means, and I would love to see futher adventures of the young Joey in his parallel worlds.
