I really love this book. Fun exchanges and a decent amount of action. I felt like some parts were rushed though, and merited further explanation.
The ending was also semi out of left field, but I hope it takes an interesting route.

I liked it. It's more of the same from the first one, journal style writing. Again I could have used more detail but maybe first person story telling isn't conductive to that.

Took the fairly standard first book in an entertaining new direction. I am surprised to discover that I now plan to get the third book when it comes out.

Good follow-up to Bourne's first story, but it was missing a little bit of the pizazz of the first. The first one was all highs and this one had some highs and lows... but was still a great read.

For a mostly action book, this book dragged on forever. I couldn't wait to finish it.

Could not finish this book. I didn't care about a single character at 34% through this book even after reading the first one. Boring; saw no point in finishing.

A continuation of Day by Day Armageddon.
Nothing overtly different or awe inspiring about this one, and it follows the same tone and flow of the first.
We find our still unidentified main character trying to hold his band of survivors together. In book 2 here, he comes across members of the military, more survivors and re builders. Our narrator becomes a leader for some, and a cog in the machine for others.
You'll like this one if you liked the first, and personally I'm looking forward to the third. It's an intriguing series so far, especially what they uncover with the military....
