Long Earth - Whoops! What a twit I am!

I have been informed by a reliable source that "No one has got into any corporate pants and there were no deals with anyone to mention any particular product or place." :dance:
Having finished the book, I have to completely agree with the above statement. All products mentioned, although not obvious at the time, are mentioned for a reason. My sincerest apologies for daring to doubt the Master.
The book itself, I absolutely loved. I can't wait for #2.
The main characters are superb and there are more than enough deep and meaningful one-liners to wave a pointy stick at. :clap: :clap: :clap:
I will refrain from saying anything more until publication.
PS: Clancy is not a main character and is only mentioned in passing.

. You're so lucky to be reading it already.I am informed that "Coke" is used as a generic term in the American South, but it is not in the Northeast nor in the other areas that I am familiar with. In New England the generic term is "tonic" (because originally they were all sold as medicines); elsewhere it is "soda" or "pop". A friend of mine referred to all such products as "fizzy water with chemicals," distinguishing among them only by the color of the container.
(As I was somewhat "anti" this book for a while, let me set the record straight.)
What the Papers on Planet Carrot say about Long Earth :dance:
A book that is impossible to read just once. The second reading is even more unputdownable than the first.
- The Daily Carrot
If any book deserves to be turned into a movie, this one does!
- Carrot Weekly
Proof that there is intelligent life after Discworld.
- The Carrot Gazette
Likeable characters, sparkling dialogue and packed with more insightful one-liners than the Bible.
- The Herald and Carrot
Phew! What a scorcher!
