Review: A worthy addition to the post-apocalyptic scene

Book 2, The way of the dogs, takes place 80 years after book 1. The grandchildren are now the main focus. There's lots of action, the books are fast-paced and I'm looking forward to book 3, due in December 2013. Unfortunately, there were far more typos in book 2 than book 1. Past tense is constantly messed up (author uses present tense), some misspelled words: 'lopping' for 'loping', 'scrapped' for 'scraped', 'eminent' for 'imminent', 'Jesse' is used for 'James' at one point, 'quacking' for 'quaking' (cute!), and the author "doubles" some terms: 'any anybody', 'to into'. At one point we get 'for him made' for 'made for him'.Yet, these don't usually affect the pacing and story, which are excellent. All-in-all, a worthy addition to the post-apocalyptic world. The dogs, by the way, are the best since Dean Koontz.
