Reg was a great character and I liked that he didn't know what was happening and opens up the reader the possibilities to the evil beast travelling to our world. It also points out how incredibly unprepared we are for the force that may arrive in the near to far future. At times I did find it a little dry and wished that perhaps a little more interaction (or action in general) was played upon with Reg and the next world - perhaps a journey to find his wife? Did lay the ground work for the follow up tale of Joseph though and was needed to tie the first and third stories together. ( )

I was excited to get to the next book in the Diary series. I was surprised when the character wasn't the same as the first book. But that's my fault for not reading the book cover. It's says right on it that it's Reggie Weldon's memoirs! The book was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Reggie and his life. I will say that I expected a deeper connection with the first book. I didn't start to see that until the end. But that didn't really bother me. I was just looking to see how the second book related to the first. Maybe more will be revealed in future books.This is a great book for anyone looking for weird fiction or spooky stuff. It also passes as historical fiction, at least in that that the turn of the century settings were vividly portrayed. I'm looking forward to reading the next entry in the series. ( )

I liked how small details make sense when you have read the first part of the series and also The Last to Fall. I liked Regi's memories and his way of describing reality. However, I would strongly recommend editing the book again because some spelling mistakes make a bad impression on a reader and make it more difficult for him/her to read the book. ( )

I quite enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure what to think about it at first, but it caught on quick. This was the first story I read in the series and I will most likely go back and read the first so I can play catch up. The plot is interesting and I felt connected with the main character. I'm really interested in seeing where this story goes and how everything plays out in the third installment. Definitely worth the time and a good read! ( )

This is my introduction to the series, "Diary of the Displaced" and I enjoyed the story thoroughly. It is the story of Reginald Weldon's life as he dictates his life story from his death bed. He has lived for 100 years, been involved in two wars, and a witness to some criminal behavior. In the process he has come into contact with the spirit world and the story revolves around those times in his life that he was closest to the spirit world. I believe that he gives and very good overview of what life was like in the England of Reginald's life. It is the view of the underside of society as Reginald grew up and then moved through his life between the World Wars.

I will be looking for the first and third of this series to read and also other works by Glynn James. I believe when we all get to the end of our lives we will be thinking back to the ones that we came in contact with and wonder where they went or what are they doing as we come to an end. Maybe we too will have stories of fantastic things that we saw or that occurred to as Reginald did. Very good read. ( )
