InterWorld
13 journalers for this copy...
Source: http://www.neilgaiman.com/works/Books/InterWorld/
Received this book yesterday, and am already 50 pages into it. :)
I'm hunting down all the Neil Gaiman books I still haven't read, so I bought this from BookDepository. Wasn't sure if it would be entering my permanent collection or continuing it's travels, but after reading about 50 pages last night, I believe this one will be staying on my shelf.
I like Neil Gaiman's books for children, as they tend to be written in a language more flowing. Moreover, there is less gore (not that Gaiman uses THAT MUCH gore in his adult books), but still all the mystery and wonder of magic and oddities which are so characteristic of his style.
ETA: This is a TEEN book, don't be expecting for-adults Gaiman. *wink wink*
Opening an international book ring for this book. :)
Sign up in the forum, PM me if I miss your post:

Dimensions: 13 x 19 x 1.5 cm (7.6 x 5.4 x 0.6 inches)
Paperback, weight (according to Amazon): 181 grams (6.4 ounces)
Ring rules:
1) Journal the book when you receive it.
2) Place the book at the top of your TBRs (under the rings and rays received before this one).
3) Try to read it within a month, it's an easy and speedy read once you start.
4) If for any reason you get backlogged (work, private life, Mt. TBR...), let us all know of the delay by making a new journal entry.
5) PM the next person on the list for their address when you receive the book so you're ready to ship by the time you finish reading it.
6) Make a controlled release note when sending the book on, preferably using your country and city so that the book can some day maybe be tracked on a map.
7) Have fun and enjoy the book! ;)
Thanks! :)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
In the hands of the Post Office.
On it's way to KiwiinEngland, the first reader in the bookring.
Enjoy! :)
I've almost finished, will write a review once I've completed the book.
The second half of the book where it turned into a big battle held my interest less, but I'm sure the target audience of teenage boys would have enjoyed it.
If you like this book I really recommend you read "The Halfmen of O" by Maurice Gee.

Still, thankyou for sharing - i did love Hue (i want one!) so worth reading for him if nothing else
Popped in the post for the next reader
Just arrived- will add to TBR pile. I have one ring waiting already after my current book, but should be able to finish in the next few weeks
This book really intrigued me because of its focus on parallel worlds, something which has interested me for a long time. Unfortunately, this weren't explained enough for my own liking. There were major differences between some of the worlds featured, but they didn't always seem logical. I found myself hoping throughout the first half of the book that the story would become more gripping. There were times throughout the second-half when the story gained interest and I began to really enjoy it. I particularly liked the character of Joey and the way he related to those from other dimensions, as well as the explanations of travel through dimensions. However, this interest was not consistant enough for me.
This may be a good story for children, but I'm afraid that- as an adult- there wasn't enough consistant depth to interest me.
PMing the next person now

This book explored lots of things and as the action got more intensed I fully enjoyed it and noticed my reading pace picking up, I definitely enjoy Neil Gaiman books, and I so hope that I'll be reading more books of his in the future!
Will send this out on Wednesday, hopefully.

I have elidanora's addy, I will mail this book next week.

The book is still with me, the Hot Weather and the continuous mass at the post office makes me weak to queue, but as soon as I reach the clerk, I will mail it with priority.
I realized that the book travelled really fast: Thanks post office and air mail!
Thank you for Sharing!!
I´ll contact the next in line and send it as soon as possible.

Reading other journal entries, I find it interesting that I wasn't the only person who had other book rings/rays to read before this one! It seems the rings/rays always show up at the same time, even if you've only signed up for a few of them.
I already have Izzy5000's address. Should be sending in the next couple of weeks...
I'll get the next address and hopefully have this out by the end of next week at the latest.
It's now super busy at work and w holidays coming up, I am a bit slower in my reading. Some days gone by without a chance to read, which is unusual for me. I will try my best to move it out soon but there is another ring ahead of this. Not to scare you guys - the ring won't get stalled - but this stay may be slightly longer.
Also glad to say that I enjoy the story, especially as I wasn't too impressed with the last few Gaiman books I read. A lot of interesting concepts and characters, and plenty of potential to flesh out the story. Thanks so much, Vedranaster, for sharing this.
I pm'ed gaslightq a few days ago and will try to contact him/her again.
12/26 ETA: Never heard back from gaslightq, but I got in touch w Tsjara. This will be going out to her.
I have PMed Libera13 a couple times, but no reply yet (she doesn't seem active anymore?), will wait a bit longer.
Update 5 Feb.: Skipping Libera13 (no reply). PMed Marko167 several days ago, no reply yet. Will send another one.
Update 7 Feb: Received Marko167's address, will mail the book this week. :)
