Reviews

I loved this. Jonah rocks. This isn't as science focused as the first book in the series - instead it focuses on Jonah's interests - gaming and larping. (Live Action Role Playing) If you liked the more logical realistic based science of the first book, you won't really find that here. This is more of a geek male plays hero and finds a whole bunch of mythical creatures story. And it's good. Just different that what you may expect. There were scientific explanations but they're not explored in any detail beyond being mentioned.

This was definitely funnier than the first book. Jonah is a hilarious character. He understands the difference between fact and fiction - he just likes living in his fantasy world better. So when he finds a yeti - well whether or not it is a yeti isn't the point - the point is that he gets to go on a yeti hunting adventure. Duh.

I loved the girls in this. I loved seeing three strong female role models. They are badass and Jonah knows it. I love that they take care of their own escape and Jonah isn't surprised just impressed at their cunning plan. I really enjoyed that in a way Jonah was the damsel in distress in this. It was a nice change from the typical female damsel in distress scenarios usually explored. It was interesting to see Jonah struggle between chivalrous gentleman and caveman. Jonah knows women are capable - he just doesn't know quite exactly where he fits into that. He admires all the girls present but he is also really respectful of them. He's willing to defend them but more than happy to let them defend themselves.

This isn't a totally realistic story - it's honestly probably a lot less realistic than Bad Taste in Boys but it's very enjoyable. Don't take it too seriously just enjoy the craziness.
