(Review from 2014)
4.5
Not quite as good as the first one, but still amazing and disgusting and super scary. This should not be a Young Adult book. The violence and horror in this is unlike anything I have ever seen before in YA.
(And I don't think the president is Lear anymore. Oh well. My theory was good.)

The first BZRK was good, this one was great. With the world and stakes established in the first book, Michael Grant takes the extra space to go all in on his best in class villains and morally gray but loveable supporting cast. The main duo are still kind of annoying but better then the first book and now with relatively less screentime.

Love you Michael Grant! Fun and exciting and wildly inappropriate for YA readers, which I'm not so...

Great second book. This one was much easier to follow character and plot wise, since I got acclimated to the unique narrative style and character-jumping in the first book. This is totally different than the stuff I usually read, but I really love it. The descriptions "in the meat" freak me out in the best way, and the narrative that's mostly impersonal and descriptive with glimpses into different characters' POV is really unique and captivating. It did take me a little while to remember who was who since I took a pretty big break between BZRK and this one, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment.

SO excited for the downfall of the Armstrong Twins (HOPEFULLY) in the next one.paperbackprodigy's review

It took me a while to get into BZRK, and Reloaded more than made up for the time it took me to get attached to this story. The end of the second book has made the wait for the next installment almost painful.

I didn't like it as much as book 1 but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
Once again Michael Grant delivers a fast paced, well written novel filled with action, suspense and it's the kind of book that really makes you think.
I love this series because you do actually find yourself so engrossed in the story that you feel as if you're physically there with the characters.
The first book seriously stressed me out and this one was no different. Everything is so vividly described and the characters so well written that like me, you may find yourself screaming at some point (very often) at the book; "NO, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THE WORLD DON'T DO THE THAT."
Definitely a book that keeps you on your toes.
Make sure to read book 1: BZRK first because you might get pretty confused reading these out of order.
