Review: The Savage Lands

So the action picked up somewhat in this second installment of the Planet Urth series.  There's more interactions with Urthmen in this one and more humans come into play.  It also showed a darker side to humanity (and so would up my age recommendation to 14.)  It also had more of a feeling of closure at the end than book 1 (although it is left open for the next book).  I do believe combining book 1 and book 2 would have been better but...to each his/her own.  Avery is also starting to get on my nerves a bit.  Can't put my exact finger on the cause but...she is.  But because of that, will be taking a break from this series...get the feeling it's going to be a bit more drawn out that I personally like.  That being said, if you enjoyed the first book, you'll enjoy this one as well.  It's really a solid 3 1/2 but will round up to 4.
