loved it!
loved this. It is quite as crazy as it sounds, loads of weird things happening but great fun and a most enjoyable read. nice to come across Jake again (in both parallel universes) and the eighty-three year old grandmother is amazing and quite funny. I have read all the Jake Corby books to date and am looking forward to reading more from this author

An imaginative fun read, transported to another world with 83 yr old and his dog, it is so wild, great sci-fi!
The Universe Next Door: A Jake Corby Sci-Fi Thriller (Jake Corby Series Book 3) by Al Macy is an amazing sci-fi book! My gosh, I was so absorbed in this book, I loved it soooo much. Jake is having a get-together and his dog had been acting strange all that morning. During the get-together, as he is touching the hands of his 83 yr old grandmother-in-law, and his dog with his other hand, he is transported (with the two he is touching) into another world, another parallel world. It is so weird and exciting. They have to fight prehistoric creatures, live off the land with what they have, and they weren't the only ones transported from their worlds, it gets sooo friggin good! Great plot and strange characters, and weird creatures. I loved the "insane" bird like creatures, they had me laughing like crazy. Lots of action, suspense, adventure, tears, joy, thoughtfulness, intrigue, humor, and great sci-fi/fantasy. It is a must read...loved it! I won this book from Goodreads! I had read some of his books before and loved them so I was super happy when I won!

Fun adventure
Al Macy is someone you gotta be in the mood for. Which today I sort of was. He's very a enthusiastic and pretty funny writer and I think I've read either all of just about all of his books either as beta reader or the regular kind of reader. He has an admirable consistency, I've never loved any of his books, but never hated any either. They are all pretty much the same amount of fun. Although the first half of this one was significantly more fun than the second half, because Jake and Marie's adventures in prehistoric and the fascinating world he created were infinitely more entertaining than the subsequent quantum physics based time/space traveling and space fighting. Still, a fun, diverting tale and a quick read.

Wonderful
This was so wonderful it was impossible to put down. Mr. Macy has the best imagination ever to think up the characters in this book. So different yet they pull you right into their world. Many twists and turns and while this is a story, it seems positively real.
