The Walls of the Universe by Paul Melko - OPTIONAL


Melko, Paul The Walls of the Universe, 383 pgs. TOR, 2009.

Language: R, Sexual Content: PG-13, Violence: G;

HS - OPTIONAL

When farm boy Johnny meets himself, whom he calls Prime, and Prime claims that he is from another alternate universe, Johnny doesn't believe him. But when Prime shows him the travel device and invites him to try it, Johnny takes him up on his offer. However, after he leaves Prime in his universe, he discovers the device is broken, and he can't go back.

This was a fantastic book. Great plot, fabulous characters, the whole package. However, there was just too much sexual innuendo and far, far too much unnecessary swearing to make it a book I would suggest to anyone. It swears at least once every five pages, and I would not suggest reading it unless you are very mature and don't mind a lot of swearing.
