As of late, when it comes to writing reviews I've been stricken with a wicked case of blahdom. And this affliction has absolutely nothing to do with the books themselves. Just saying. Nevertheless, the Perry & Gobi series - comprised of Au Revoir Crazy European Chick & Perry's Killer Playlist- is crafted with adventurous fun and reminiscent of feel good movies from days of yore - to wit, movies from the 80's and 90's, fellow cinephiles know what I'm talking about and are shaking their he...more

Perry has the worst luck with women! Things seem like they are getting better when Perry's new girlfriend gets the band, Inchworm, a European tour. The first show goes off without a hitch. Perry gets into Venice, decides to go search out Gobi (the European chick from book 1), and things go downhill very quickly after that. Complete with assassinations, mixed up scenarios, sexual situations, and occasional references to him playing an actual instrument, Perry's life just sucks. He quite literally gets into trouble in every chapter (some only 3 pages long). How does he manage to do this?

-=-Spoiler-=-
The book probably would've ended early, because Gobi seems to toss Perry away several times, but it keeps going because the other woman in his life is also not as great as she seems. The women in Perry's life really want to kill him or have him killed.

My thoughts:
I didn't read the first book, but that doesn't matter because I feel like the first book was explained several times in this book. The incident on prom night is mentioned so often that it was overkill. I really began to not care about Perry's first adventure with Gobi. I think a little reference towards the beginning was all that was necessary. I suppose that the author just wanted to make sure people like me, who didn't read the first book, had some sort of connection to the main characters. There wasn't a lot of character development, which is normal for a second book in the series. My two biggest complaints are: 1) there wasn't ever a slight break in action so it was really impossible to suspend disbelief. Generally in action books, there has to be some part of you that knows the action is impossible, but enjoys it none the less. After the third run, shoot, etc., it just was too far fetched. I guess because it is such a short book, you have to toss everything in all at once. 2) What was the point of the playlist and titles? They act as chapter titles and relate somewhat with the chapter, but other than that are completely useless. I like it when author's integrate other aspects of media into their stories. It gives some reference of time and pop culture. Also, teenagers tend to enjoy that mix of their lives into the text; however, there was no need for it. Perry is in a bad, couldn't he at least pretend to cover a song or something on stage. You could even tie a lyric or two into the chapter. In this case, they were just chapter titles. Most people don't even read a chapter title, so it's a waste. That disappointed me.

Finally, the book is really fast paced. It's short enough and action packed enough to get a reluctant reader's attention. I would pass it off to a high school boy, but be careful because the sexual situations are plentiful, even though he never actually does it. Some parents may have a bit of a problem with how the women seem to throw themselves at him. (less)

But Joe Schreiber's second young adult novel puts the pedal to the metal and doesn't let up. This would be one exhausting novel if it were much longer.

(Although it could use a few less chapters that are only a page or two long.)

Fans of character-driven novels should look elsewhere. PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST is all about the action and comedy with little room for anything else. Perry is a young man touring Europe with his band Inchworm. This could be their big break. But then he runs into Gobi Zaksaukas, the foreign exchange student his family hosted during senior year - until she revealed herself to be an assassin on prom night and forced Perry to drive her as she sought revenge. Now she's killing again and Perry is once more caught in the crossfire.

There is some attempt at characterization, but it's secondary to the crazy set pieces. Honestly, I found PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST extremely fun. I enjoy a good action movie, and PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST is like the book version of The Killers except not terrible. (Let's face it, it should be criminal to screw up, "One is a cold-blooded assassin! The other is an ordinary person! Together they escape certain death!")

I think PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST can be read and enjoyed by those who haven't read AU REVOIR, CRAZY EUROPEAN CHICK. The beginning starts with Perry and does a pretty good job of introducing who Gobi is and why he hopes to see her despite having a wonderful girlfriend. And this isn't a series that asks you to remember any complex backstories. There is continuity, like Perry's issues with his father, but I think father issues are pretty easy to understand.

Do you want to read something quick, funny, with bursts of improbable violence? Then you'll probably enjoy PERRY'S KILLER PLAYLIST. You might not care deeply about the characters, but it makes for an entertaining hour or two. (less)

Gobi (& Perry, of course) are back for more action-packed, laugh-out-loud assassination games in this sequel, and that can only be seen as a good thing. The original book, "Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick" was a very pleasant surprise that really demonstrates how talented author Joe Schreiber is. This story maintains that perception. The characters may have been established in the first novel, but they are developed even further here, in my opinion. One thing I liked in particular was that, even though there are some new characters in this story, there really aren't many, which must be a temptation for those penning sequels. The truth is, it's often not necessary to "go bigger" as much as it is to "go smarter". In that way, Schreiber stays true to what works in both of these books.

The idea for the sequel is credible, and very clever, and set in Europe. This story works because it is similar to the first book in many ways, but also furthers the tale instead of just retreading the adventure and laughs. As the plot develops, there is always enough of a twist or a development to make it its own brand. That being said, no one should read this without reading the first book (that may be an obvious statement, admittedly). Gobi in particular is a terrific character and her dynamic with the often witless Perry is pure comedy, and yet, when the story needs to be touching or serious, Schreiber takes in there quite deftly.

These books are quick "popcorn" reads, and their brevity keeps them fresh. After a forgettable week at work, this book quickly put me in a better mood, thankfully. But... I don't like the North American title of this book ("Perry's Killer Playlist"). It is relevant to the way the chapters are entitled, but who the hell cares what chapters are entitled, is my point. It didn't add anything for my enjoyment. I much prefer the U.K. title, "Ciao for Now, Crazy European Chick" just to keep the vein of the saga going. It's a minor quibble, to be sure. I'll eagerly await another book in this series, assuming there is one - I don't even want to consider that there won't be. Also... HOW THE HECK AREN'T THESE MOVIES YET???(less)

As I mentioned in the first book in the series, "Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick", this is a bit of a departure from what I usually read, an fast-paced action and adventure featuring a male protagonist. That being said, I still quite enjoyed it.

Strong language, sexual situations and violence are on a par with many adult thrillers and the only things marking this as YA are the age of the protagonist and his persistent virginity.

The only two words in the English dictionary that can be used together to describe my thoughts of Perry’s Killer Playlist by author Joe Schreiber. Seriously, after reading Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick his first YA novel, I have been eyeing the sequel for about a month and now that I’ve finally gotten to read it I can proudly say that I = mind blown. I had my concerns, I mean, the first novel was nothing but Perry getting to play Gobi’s getaway driver/hostage before he learns that he might be falling for her. Well, that and the fact that he becomes her accomplice to the murders she pulled off in New York City. Perry and Gobi are back and this time, it’s on Gobi’s home turf of Europe.

Europe, guns, betrayal and a femme fatale? Yeah, that sounds like my cup of tea.

Perry’s Killer Playlist occurs a few months after the events that took place in Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick. We have our main character Perry who is now living a life without Gobi. He has found a new girlfriend, his band is going on a European tour and after one day in Venice, Perry has found Gobi again. She has another hit list and she needs his help, whether he likes it or not. Perry and Gobi travel around Europe, finishing off the men that Gobi has marked for death. The two characters quarrel much like in the last novel, but the difference now is that Perry must face his feelings towards Gobi while Gobi begins to hide the single thing on this Earth that can kill her from Perry. To make things worse for our buddy Perry, it looks like his girlfriend might be just as messed up as the girl who keeps on taking him hostage; Hasn’t he figured out yet that if their name starts with a constant and ends with a vowel they are most likely assassins?

The one thing I think I loved most about Perry’s Killer Playlist was that it takes the story in a whole new direction. It isn’t the novel before it being repeated in a different setting, the plot is entirely different, the characters seem to have developed into these badass creatures and with that comes more dangerous situations. Perry goes from being the hostage to actually getting his hands dirty himself, and as he faces his feelings for Gobi we get to see a side of him that wasn’t really looked into in the last novel. Perry reaches an extreme and I loved every minute of it.

I’ll admit that I felt like the action that we got throughout Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick wasn’t seen as much in Perry’s Killer Playlist. Sure Gobi was still killing bad guys left and right and sure there were still tons of moment where I thought she was going to shoot Perry in the face, but there were more people problems in this novel. We have to deal with Gobi’s own mortality, emotions, girlfriends turning out to be assassins and what not.

But, considering the deux ex machina that we got at the end of the novel, I’ll let it all slide. The ending might have been one of my favorite scenes out of all the YA novels I’ve read. It screamed Rush Hour 3 meets every movie that has Jason Statham. Seriously, by the time the novel came to a close my heart was tired from pounding so much and alas, I found myself yearning for the third novel that I’m sure won’t disappoint.

I’d recommend this novel to fans of the one prior to it. Readers who love action and thrillers will adore series and those of us who are looking for quick reads will probably have just found the apples of their eye.(less)

It's another slim tome that kind of has you left wanting more (way more, especially after that ending!), yet at the same time, gives you a good ending for Perry and Gobi this time around, one that leaves you satisfied enough to let the story go. If you're looking for a little more action in YA, you definitely have to check out the "Perry and Gobi" duology.

My biggest complaint about this duology still persisted within this second book, but happily, to a lesser extent than its prequel - character development. I feel like we got a whole lot more exposition on Perry and Gobi's characters in this volume of the duology, which is what I really wanted in the first volume. Though it's a bit spoilery, I should say that this is Gobi's story more than it's Perry's (though it's told through his POV), giving a nice, balanced weight for both books. If book one was Perry, book two is all Gobi. And that was really great to read, because the first book seemed all action and very little character development, and here it feels like Schreiber evolved a bit along with his characters and how he developed them in this book. This book was definitely a bit more serious in subject matter, and it brought credibility where before there was just kind of a crazy fun thrill ride to be had.

Every so often, I love reading purely plot-driven stuff, which is what I loved about "European Chick", but along with the plot-driven in "Perry's Killer Playlist", we get more of a balanced storytelling with Gobi's backstory finally revealed, and both of these characters are changing and actively evolving and that's what makes it superior to its prequel. I feel like even though it's still leaning more toward the almost purely plot-driven side of things, "Perry's Killer Playlist" achieves a closer balance with evolving characters tempered with awesome action that will have your heart pounding and will get laughs out of you at the same time.

What's also impressive about this volume is that I feel like you can jump into this volume of the duology without having to read "European Chick" at all. Perry catches us up on what happened in book one pretty easily, and though the finer aspects of his character development (as little as it was) we saw the first book are kind of glossed over, it's not really needed to really grasp this world of killers, mobsters, and spies. Which is always a great thing - I love it when an author that's doing a series of books makes it really easy to plunge in at any given volume in that series without having to read the rest of the books first.

So if you're looking for a little high-octane fun this winter release season, I highly suggest you look toward "Perry's Killer Playlist". It's a deceptively slim volume, but it packs a hell of a punch when you read it. "Perry's Killer Playlist" is out now in North America through HMH, so be sure to check it out! I know I had a ton of fun with this one, guys, so hopefully you will, too!

I liked it, but it was nowhere near as good as the first one. If I could give it a 2.5, I would. Fans of the first one will enjoy it enough though. And I still kind of hope there is a third one (although I'm not sure how without the plot becoming stale and repetitive).
