Ehgads! A cliffhanger ending! Yikes!... Ha ha ha; based on your review - even if this tome wasn't as good as book one - I won't mind shelling out the money for this book, and possibly the third (Now it's a race to see who nabs it, *lol*, though I fear I'm a book behind and therefore handicapped!). Thanks so much for the entertaining read, and it's clear that 'great minds think alike'!kandscreeley wrote: ↑16 Sep 2018, 14:15 I do have to warn you, though, that the ending is yet another cliffhanger. While there is enough wrapped up not to make you feel too unsatisfied, not everything is tied up in a nice, neat bundle. The next book is going to be a must read for anyone that has read the first two.
While I enjoyed reading this book with its unique story line, likable characters and interesting enemies, it just didn't strike me quite the same way the first one did. How do you top a theme park full of monsters that are out of control? I'm not sure, but Mr. Okon didn't quite accomplish that feat.

I have a feeling the last one will be quite the ending. I can't wait to find out what happens. Thanks for commenting. The author is definitely talented.MsTri wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 11:16Ehgads!

Oh dear, not a book for me then, but I'm sure monster lovers will see the appeal.kandscreeley wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 08:03The zombies do play a fairly big part. But, they are zombies because of a virus. I don't know if that makes a difference to you. Thanks for commenting.Georgia Lyonhyde wrote: ↑28 Sep 2018, 21:00 I'm wondering how big a part the zombies play in the series.

Yes! They would go over well with the young adult crowd. Thanks.

Absolutely! I try to jump on them when I see sequels to books I've read previously. That happens very rarely, though. You probably wouldn't enjoy this one as it is mostly about monsters.bookowlie wrote: ↑02 Oct 2018, 09:57 Thanks for a thorough, insightful review! I don't like zombie or vampire books, although these types of stories are popular. However, I have to say your description of the first book (a theme park full of monsters who are out of control) has me intrigued. It's always nice when you are able to review a sequel to a previous book you enjoyed.

It's not a pity at all! You'll LOVE the first book. I guarantee it!

It was good for sure! Of course, you must read the first one first. Thanks.Gs_Anja wrote: ↑16 Nov 2018, 04:08 Sounds great! I would definitely recommend it to male readers: I know my brother has a tough time reading, but it sounds as if the novel has some video game qualities, which will definitely attract more audience, especially people like my brother.
