The description sums this book up pretty much.
This is the 5th book in the series (read previous reviews here) and I was really excited to finally dig into Rise of the Poison Moon.
The residents of Winoka are still stuck inside the Big Blue sphere, that Slider spun before his untimely death, with no way out. They have begun to turn on each other while under the attack of Skip and Andi as the rest of the world turns a blind eye. Jennifer, the Ancient Furnace, is faced with having to figure out th...more

Overall, it's a very grim book with a few typical MJD snarks to lighten the mood here and there. This series has a lot more depth than MJD's other books, perhaps due to the partnership with Alongi. But this particular installation in the series was also a bit lean, despite the dark, often sad, and desperate situation the characters find themselves in. The emotions just didn't hit home. Or at least the sad ones didn't. I certainly felt the desperation, confusion, awkward adolescence, parental dra...more
This series has reached a new level of grim and depressing. It's well written, but things get so bad for the characters that it borders on ridiculous. Also, it's definitely not able to stand on its own; there isn't enough background to figure who everyone is, never mind what is going on.
Almost a year after they end of the last book is where this one picks up, food is scarce, electricity as well, and they have no real contact with the outside; Skip and Andi watch the town while Eddie watches them. There are several deaths in this book, and when it ends, you just want to know what happens next. I can hardly wait for the next book in this series.
I thought this was a pretty good book but was set back by the language...Isn't this supposed to be for young adults?

Whoa, getting dark and too grim over here in this series. Wonder where it's heading to next?
I did like this one although it was mostly a bit of a downer. I'm not really sure where the series is going to go from here. I hope it gets a little more up beat. I like the humor.
Das erste Drittel empfand ich als langatmig und teilweise langweilig. Gar nicht zu vergleichen mit den anderen Teilen. Zum Glück wurde es dann ab der Hälfte deutlich interessanter. Grundsätzlich hat es mich aber nicht völlig überzeugt.
Ok, it took long enough to come out but I guess they wanted to reflect the actual yr and a half they were under the dome before telling us the story! Anyway, it was very dark. Darker than all the others. It was completely focused on war, psychotic were arachnid Skip, and starting over. In this book there were unexpected deaths, and amazing sorcery! I have come to the conclusion that Skip should've been killed 2 books ago! Everyone pitches in to stop him and he is so far gone, ther's no remorse,...more
I am enjoying this bitty series of MJD's. This is not a stand alone book. It will make no sense w/o reading the earlier books.
This felt rather disjointed to me, but it doesn't have the same appeal as the early ones.
Meh. I read the first 35 and last 35 pages. I don't know why I have this ideal in my head to finish a series even though I disliked the earlier titles...
I never expected this book series to head this direction!
