colossal's review against another edition
2.0
I'm all over the place with the reviews of this series, and after marking the second one up as compared to the first, this one I'm marking way down. It's competent enough, but I'm just out of interest in this world and its characters, and the story completely fails to recapture it. There is a sequence about half-way through that sets up a sort of homage to Mad Max 3 (save the children!) but it doesn't follow through.
That's actually the main problem with this book in my opinion. The follow through isn't really there and the setup was so shallow to begin with that the resolutions just aren't very satisfying. They're certainly not enough to overcome the main character moping through the first half of the book.

I couldn't handle the self pitying, suicidal, drunken protagonist, I quit after 75 pages.
