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.
Spoiler SO excited for the downfall of the Armstrong Twins (HOPEFULLY) in the next one.

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.

My only real problem was that I read the first book waaay too long ago, so a lot... well.. most of what happened before is a blur to me. Nevertheless, it was still really good

Michael Grant's books are in no way literary masterpieces. Gone (awesome series) wasn't, and neither is BZRK. I don't expect them to be. And I don't want them to be either, because what I like so much about Grants' books isn't the (non-existent) purple prose and metaphors, it's the fast pacing and quick narrative, the action and different set of characters! In a way I guess you can compare it to I Am Number Four in that they are both pageturners and more plot-driven than character-driven. Still, I like BZRK a lot more, because even though it plays mostly on a good storyline, the characters are great too! I was even brought to tears in the first book. So even if it doesn't exactly change my view on life, it is great entertainment! And I would recommend both BZRK and Gone to everyone who just wants a fun read where you dont have to be emotionally drained or ask yourselves important philosophical questions!
