Long Earth - Whoops! What a twit I am!

[poohcarrot]

As there's a very interesting review on Long Earth in June's Discworld Monthly, I'm going to give my opinion on it too. :dance:

Having read it twice now, I'd just like to say that I think it is brilliant, because not only could I relate to it, but also it really made me think.
However, I have a feeling that some people might not be so impressed.

The only criticism I have is, I wish it could have been 10 pages shorter.

I withdraw the above comment, because I've just realised something about the book. :dance:

 

[Bouncy Castle]

It spends its evenings anonymously fighting crime?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Counted the pages wrong maybe.

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.

Still not obvious to me after finishing the book, could you explain?

...the products mentioned are simply there as texture to root the piece into a place and time. No one has got into any corporate pants and there were no deals with anyone to mention any particular product or place.

I'm not going to argue with the above. :dance:
