Talulla Rising by Glen Duncan
2.0
COME NO CLOSER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LAST WEREWOLF.

Read the first book and really devoured it (with a few quips about its movie-ready plot line, scripted dialogue and action sequences). The Last Werewolf is unique, pleasingly complicated, even sophisticated in ways I had not thought originally. I now appreciate postmortem Jake, its principle character, more than ever in his absence. With Talulla Rising, I felt the plots were thin-to-fatally diluted and overly plentiful; it is packed with threadbare characters with no express purpose than to populate space and then clear a path to satisfying the end, which didn't really satisfy. Overall, this was just "okay."
