Elsewhere

I still remember seeing this book on the shelf of my high school library. I picked it out, read the back, checked it out of the library, and took it home. The very moment I opened this book I knew it would be great, and it was. After I took it back to the library I didn't see it till today. I feel like I have found and old friend. Definatly a good read for ANYONE who enjoys a good fantasy about elves, humans, magic, street life and how they all collide.

This book snags you by the soul from the very first sentance. Its lyrical prose conveys the struggles of lonliness and fear that haunt the non-conformists of society. Although the roiling neo-punk language is harsh at times, the intricate characters and settings leaves a bitter aftertaste of beauty and pain. This book is a stark must-read for cynics, poets, fantasy-lovers and mutants of all ages.

The Borderlands series is one of the best series out there. I'm only sorry that I didn't find it sooner, as one of the original books has gone out of print. The immediacy of the situation in Bordertown is incredible, as is the spectacular writing of all the authors involved. Elsewhere is a terrific continuation of the tone of the original anthologies (not surprising, since Shetterly was a part of those). Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys fantasy with a dose of reality.

I love that book....its my favorite one..i advise all of you read it hehehe..................its the greatest in my opinion..

I love this book I find it entertaing and entrancing; everything is so vividly described you feel as though you are in Elsewhere and you are running down the streets with Ron and all of the other characters. This book isnt only for children , I believe everycan enjoy this book. KaT
