Book Review: Cage of Eden Volume 2


Review:  #364
Title:  Cage of Eden Volume 2
Series:  Cage of Eden - 2nd volume
Author:  Yoshinobu Yamada
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  This volume flows better and the chapters are getting more and more interesting.  Although the extinct animals that are introduced here aren’t as exciting or shocking as it was in earlier chapters (I guess because we are expecting them now).  There are some intense moments as the characters fight for their survival, you can feel their fear as they hide from a fearsome predator, or when they trek out into the other unknown.  In addition, the deaths continue to shock you (well, at least the first one anyway, the other two you’d knew it would happen eventually).  The resolution from the previous volume’s cliffhanger wasn’t that interesting (and this volume’s cliffhanger isn’t that good either).  I like how the book shows how this disaster had bring out the worst in a lot of people, how they’ve changed from their normal selves in a bid for self-preservation.  It should be noted that there are some awkward shots up a girl’s skirt which seems out of place here.
Rating:  6/10
