I picked up Ape Quartet #2 because I really liked book #1. First of all I was a bit disappointed that #2 wasn't a continuation of #1 but it doesn't matter because it seems like the subject matter would broadly be the same: YA book on primates in Africa.
Spoilers: The plot begins with an orphan boy in Gabon rescued by an academic researcher doing an article for National Geographic. They travel deep into the wild to research chimpanzees.
I have to say I didn't really like the book. The plot didn't seem to have any direction once the two got into the forest. The writing was uninteresting and seemed to go nowhere. I dnf'd at 41% basically because I lost interest in the book. There wasn't much explanation of the chimpanzees' behaviors nor of what was going on in the forest or with the characters. I will not be continuing with #3 or #4.
