Clickers II: The Next Wave (Clickers #2)
by
J.F. Gonzalez,
Brian Keene (Goodreads Author)
The first wave was only the beginning. Since it's publication in 1999, Clickers by J.F. Gonzalez and Mark Williams has become a geunine cult-classic, garnering a legion of fans and single-handedly revitalizing the "munch-out" sub-genre. Like Jaws did a decade before, Clickers gave readers another reason not to go in the water. But now, it's not even safe on land....more

The Next Wave was very good. I will say that first before I begin criticizing it. The only reason why I feel I have to is because, in my opinion, it fell well short of the first clickers novel for several reasons. The first is perhaps my fault. Maybe I shouldn’t have dived right into this book after finishing a five star read like Clickers (I). Maybe I was just a little burnt out on giant monster B-movie plots but I don’t think that was it. I think it is the lack of masterful characterization wh...more
I reacquainted myself with the original Clickers earlier this year, and the sequel has been sitting on my shelf for a while, so I dived in. Where I was expecting another popcorn book, perhaps demonstrating the law of diminishing returns, I was pleased to find the story evolve, with the book ending up a very different beast as a result. Instead of monsters in a small town, here we have a nation under siege, with characters at all levels (from the streets to the corridors of the White House) thre...more
Set about a dozen years after the first volume, this one is a lot of fun. It carries on the story of most of the survivors of the first volume and introduces a new cast of larger-than-life, pulp-influenced ones who are just as enjoyable. Giant crabs return, driven by their dark overlords who are out for vengeance, and half the country is destroyed... but the real bad guys are the ultra-right politicians in charge of our defense. Multiple viewpoints and short flashes of events from all over the s...more

Giant crabs and creatures from the sea spark a second civil war. And the most villainous villain of them all? That's right--it's the President of the United States. The first Clickers book was pretty great. This second one is a total gas. Highly recommended for giant monster fans.
This was a great follow up to the first book. I loved it.
There is only one little thing that bugged me a lot and it is the president character..... he's totally unbelievable. Of course this will probably sound strange (dealing with all the weird shit in this book) but he brought too much ridicule to the story. He was a joke.
Apart from that one bad character, the story was just great.
I'm plunging into book III right away.

By the time I got halfway through this book, I felt like I was still reading it because I insist on finishing what I started, and not because i was really still enjoying this. Maybe my reason for not liking it all that much was because the first Clickers was so amazing...then again, I feel like adding Brian Keene to a book should make it better...not worse...
