This book was a pretty quick and easy read but it had an amazing storyline nonetheless. I really like how all the characters came together and how their stories blended so nicely. I liked following Liz’s journey both physically and emotionally. It was also a pretty unique concept that I hadn’t seen before which was pretty cool.

I think this is a good book for younger readers. It’s not too complicated, but it’s not simplified to the point where it feels pretentious. I think the movie introduces some intriguing questions, but it never goes anywhere with them. The author says, ‘Hey, what if this is the case?’ And then just move on. Also, this book is extremely fast paced. There are barely any long-lasting conflicts. Even the serious ones get resolved fairly fast. All in all, ‘elsewhere” is an interesting book, but easy to comprehend, so it’s very approachable.

Does this book have pedophilia?? It really depends on how one looks at it…
