I’d say 3.5 stars for this sequel to the first amazing book. Probably because it followed that first book is why I can’t give this a great rating.

Trying to summarize without spoilers. The first third of this book Wade is so “woe is me” that it’s hard to focus on all the other things happening in the book. Once you really get into the nitty gritty challenging core, the book picks up and is rather enjoyable.

I loved the first book, and enjoyed the movie. But the second book seems to be for the sake of money and continuous of the series. There is not many new things in it. No thrill or twist or suspense. It reminds me of the avengers that just can't stop ...more
