Title: "Wicked Tribe, Rooling Tribe!"
Review: Otherland is one of those books you fall head over heels in love with, and then go about to all your friends exclaiming that this time you've done it, you've truly done it, and have found the best fantasy book out there that you've been waiting for all these years so-go-read-it-now!... And then they ask you to explain what it's about and you're at a loss for words."It's, um, about a virtual reality world... No wait, no, that's not describing it at all. It /is/ virtual reality, but it's not some silly SF book like you're thinking... Where's it take place? In Africa. Um. In the Otherland system. Err-- in Australia. Wait. Oh, just go read the bloody thing!"There is a lot to this book. You've got bushmen, evil aboriginals, net friends, a mesterious AI, a quest for immortality... It goes on. There's no concise explanation I can give. Yes, it's a massive tome, and there are four more just as big, but you'll just wish you could spend more time in this world by the end.
