I was talking with Radio2isStatic about rereading the Everworld series, since we read them way back in high school. So a quick stop off at the library later... 
 I have such a fondness for this series, so I suspect that will make my review here a bit biased. But then again, it has been some time since I read them. 
 Anyways. Book 1. Read in one day without any difficulty. And actually, it's a lot more unforgiving than I remembered. A little bit more gore, a little less pulling punches. Especially considering the demographic. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was still just as engaging, and I found it neat to see what exactly I remembered from the first read through all those years ago. 
 On to books 2 and 3!
