Lol, think I was having a bad day when I made that comment, so no surprise there was a mistake like that in it! I mean the one you read felt more travel-ey to me, while Otherlands felt more sciencey. Otherlands was dense stuff, but still I ended up loving how in-depth it went into what the different areas were like at that time.

In looking around, I think that they now have an illustrated version of Otherlands out, too, which you might want to check out. That was one thing about Otherlands that I thought would be really helpful: some pics of the creatures involved.
