Odd but very enjoyable to read. Something completely different. Some of the story and character background came a little late in the story and was a little thin. But I liked where it all ended up
Once again, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. After reading the first volume in the Mayhem Wave series (Prelude to Mayhem), and thoroughly enjoying it, I had serious doubts as to whether the sequel could live up to the benchmark that was set previously. But it did so and then some!
Unlike the proceeding novel that dealt alternately with two main characters in separate locations and circumstances, this one pretty much just follows the exploits of Harrison and those in his immediate vicinity. That this entourage did not include Dorothy and Mitchell for the majority of the book was somewhat disappointing. But at least Glimmer was once again along for the ride, and in rare form.
Other main players in the story include many that we met, if only briefly, near the end of volume one; as well as several newly introduced characters, some of whom prove more important than others. All have their own attitudes, moods and motivations, which come across abundantly clear in the narrative. I certainly appreciate it when an author can adequately articulate varied personalities to the extent that each being appears as a real three-diminsional individual.
This tome provides an even more exacting look into the thoughts and feelings of Harrison. He often gives the impression to others as being something of a jerk, but he truly does have the finest of intentions, and just wants the best for everyone. As things progress, he gets more and more of a chance to prove himself, first as a worthy person in general, and later as a fine leader.
There is so much (good stuff) that I could say about this book, but also so much that is better if read and not just given away, so I’ll just leave it at that! I’ve heard from the author that the third book in the series (Mayhem’s Children – due to be released in December), is supposed to be even better! Seriously? Honestly, I can hardly contain my excitement!
The point of view and characters jump all over the place. Even in a Monty Python universe, it’s too crazy.
Couldn’t get into it
Boring, repetitive. Did not finish it
Did not make it past a chapter or two. Did not care for.Too weird.
Couldn’t finish the book…didn’t hold my attention…too weird.
Didn’t even manage to get through it. Very confusing. Even though I normally enjoy paranormal stories and comedy, this one couldn’t spark my interest.
I did not make it past the first chapter. This book was not what I expected or like to read.
An alternative look at the end of the world. The end of the old is just the beginning of a wild new.
I found this book to be a little hard to follow. It was choppy and missing a smooth flow, easy transitions. I did enjoy many aspects of the story: all of the many characters were well developed, quite entertaining among other things. Perhaps this was simply an example of a story that is too big for a book this size.
