You have to wonder about the quality of readers at the overwhelming number of five star reviews.  This was a literary disaster of huge proportions.  Essentially it is a continuation of the first book only more outlandish, kinkier and dumber.In between the very few action scenes the reader enters the world of the bizarre.  Sex rises to the forefront and it is of the most juvenile nature.  Just a sample - female, child and male rape, intense homoeroticism for both sexes, all the kids from one family marry all the kids of the other family after a living in the same house since birth,  three women in bed nightly with our hero (every boy's fantasy).  The "conversation" is on the order of 7th graders and goes on for page after nitty page, boring and perplexing (wife asking other woman to become a ménage a trios.Then there is the "wave" which takes up page after page. It is a high one gets that makes killing and torture not just bearable but mandatory.  And speaking of torture, our hero makes Jack of 24 fame look like a piker as he gleefully tortures victims for hours on end.  Not just physically but mentally and emotionally.As noted, real action - not the absurd endless family "talks" with the daddies and mommies - is rare.  A rescue of kids, a fight with some bikers...the blue people are definite second fiddles.  Like the first book, all characters are 100% good or bad.  Government guys casually shoot the population, our hero's extended family are experts in all things survival, teen boys run rings around government data bases.  Again, as silly as the fart in beds scenes or the endless blather about the wave or treating daddy with dignity even when he rampages like a crazed beasts.The survivalist line turns into slapstick as they find tanks, missile launchers, hundreds of millions of rounds of ammo, vehicles of every kind, etc.  If it can be conceived, it will be found close to the farm.  Unconvincing, juvenile, weird.
