A review by fionabond
Buzz by Anders de la Motte

3.0

As much as I enjoyed Game, Buzz wasn't quite as great as its predecessor. The author's overuse of exclamation marks was a little infuriating, not to mention the random uses of text speak in the middle of prose IRL?! The shift from the actual game into something else was both exciting and frustrating. Whilst the conspiracy was a nice twist at the end of the last book, I do feel that the story arc of Game would have been much better suited to the whole trilogy. One of the nice things about the first book was that the game was exciting, it was different and that is partly what made the book so good. Unfortunately, with the shift from fun but dangerous game to conspiracy comes only danger and not so much fun. And there's only so many times it can be believed that one not very fit and injured man can escape the clutches of a psychopath who runs miles on the treadmill every single morning.
