What I love about these books is 1. The vast and immense world that had been created that is so plausible and exciting. 2. That you can set this book down and come back to it much later and it's like an old friend that you haven't talked to in forever but when you see each other again you are right in sync and 3. It's always a surprise.
The ending of this book was something I did not expect and I quite enjoyed it. I love reading about the worlds of the long earth and the creatures that could exist.
Greats books!

The Long Utopia involves two tangentially-intersecting plots, either one of which I would be interested to see an entire book devoted to, but together just make for a disorderly book. The authors (though, likely just Baxter) suddenly bring the plots together in a poorly-executed way. Maybe the next book will be better, but I doubt it.

Good, but it's suffering from sequel drag by the fourth book of five. I can't remember clearly the events that happen in the book, but I found the "Next" obnoxious, and there are now too many characters to follow, so the book keeps jumping between viewpoints.
Explosive ending, though. Still don't really understand it beyond it being people somehow transcending reality.
