I think this is a good book for younger readers. It’s not too complicated, but it’s not simplified to the point where it feels pretentious. I think the movie introduces some intriguing questions, but it never goes anywhere with them. The author says, ‘Hey, what if this is the case?’ And then just move on. Also, this book is extremely fast paced. There are barely any long-lasting conflicts. Even the serious ones get resolved fairly fast. All in all, ‘elsewhere” is an interesting book, but easy to comprehend, so it’s very approachable.

Elsewhere is an interesting concept, I especially like the idea of avocations.
Liz is kind of a dick and doesn't care about anyone who cares about her which made it difficult to get behind the story. I also just did not believe the romance.
First half was better than the second half.
