Jatkaa samaa kepeänhauskaa sarjaa. Kuten peleissä, kirjoissakin tasoilla eteneminen tuo koko ajan isompaa ja näyttävämpää toimintaa. Tässä kirjassa usko meinasi välillä loppua monimutkaisuuden takia mutta kyllä se loppujenlopuksi pysyi hyvin kasassa. Sarja on edelleen hauskaa luettavaa ja sopii hyvin Bobiversen ja kaltaistensa ystäville.

I read through the first two books at light speed but the pace of this book felt like someone had hit the brakes. 
It was still great - the characters are amazing and I love the way the plot reads like a video game.
However, it felt like the author was nerding out on his own ideas too much and putting in WAY too much exposition. In the first two books, whenever the character picked up a weapon or meet a chara ter, it would give a brief description of a couple of sentences. In this book you get three paragraphs of it's complete life story. For me it took me out of it and I started to get bored with some of the overly descriptive scenes. This might be a 'me problem' though because my husband is also reading this series and he really likes the extra description as it helps with world building. 

Still an awesome book!

The slowest read of the series so far. I'm a big fan of Carl, Donut, and Katia, but the format of this level was way, way, WAY too complicated. If the author has to warn you at the top "don't worry about all the names and numbers and stuff," it's way too complicated. Outside of that slog, this continues to be a funny, inventive series. It continues to be pretty gory as well.
