Z loved it, especially the evil robot giant crabs. Definitely didn't have the same sense of flow that the first one in the series, but will finish the trilogy to find out just what ended the "Human Occupation" of Earth and led to the rise of the animals. ( )

The sequel to the first book leads a group of animals out of their new-found home - The Fog Mound - and back into the world of both talking and non-talking animals. This book is not all graphic novel, but has interspersed graphics and comic sequences throughout the book. ( )

I tried on two different occasions two read this book - and finally abandoned the book after I was halfway done with it. I couldn't get into caring about the characters at all. The illustrations are really great, but the book was very one dimensional. Maybe one has to read the "part 1" book to enjoy this #2 version . . . until I check out part 1, I will not recommend this book to my students. ( )
