Monsterland Reanimated by Michael Okon

After Monsterland has been destroyed, the entire world is thrown into chaos. Wyatt Baldwin and his friends must go beyond the boundaries of their small town to reestablish contact with the outside world. During their journey they discover a new threat released from the bowels of the defunct theme park. The danger of werewolves, vampires and zombies pale in comparison to an army of relentless mummies, Vincent Conrad’s reanimated monster and the menace of a life-sucking ooze they call The Glob.  Wil Wyatt and his friends survive when they reenter the scariest place on earth?

My take:  The world is in chaos after the events that happened in the first books of this series.  This is the second book in that series and it is non stop action from start to finish.  There are love stories and just like most teenage love stories once you have what you thought you wanted things change.  There are some unlikely pairings and some unlikely things that happen but like all monster movies you have to suspend your beliefs a bit. after all the monsters are what we are all here for after all.  There are some of the old monsters from the last book but there are some all new monsters in this book.  When things don't return to semi normal after Monsterland is destroyed Wyatt and his friends set out to find out what is going on.  Along the way the whole group encounter the new monsters and have to find out how to defeat them and the mastermind behind them.  
I really enjoyed this book and I practically flew through it to find out what was going to be thrown at this group and how they were going to  conquer these monsters.

Monsterland by Michael Okon

From Goodreads.com:  Welcome to Monsterland, the scariest place on earth.

When world markets are decimated by a crippling plague, philanthropist, and billionaire businessman, Vincent Konrad decides to place monsters in a theme park setting to promote education and tolerance. Copper Valley is chosen as the primary site for the park in the United States.

Wyatt Baldwin, a high school senior is dying to go to the opening and when he lands special passes to the park, he and his friends are expecting the experience of a lifetime.
After all, in a theme park where real zombies, werewolves, and vampires are the main attractions, what could possibly go wrong? 

My Take:  This book was ok.  It was a bit slow in parts and reminded me of other stories is parts.   The scene with the entrance into the park reminded me of Jurassic Park.  Actually the whole story reminded me of Jurassic Park only with Zombies, Werewolves and Vampires instead of Dinosaurs.  There were a few comedic parts but the tone of the book was mostly ominous.  They called Zombies vitality challenged.  One character was named Howard Drucker and was called by his full name whenever he was refered too.  I kept thinking of him as Howard the Duck for some reason.  The transitions between characters were a bit confusing at times.  I think this book is mostly targeted toward YA but I think an adult should read it first before letting anyone less than 16 read it.  There are a few curse words and of course some gore but overall I don't think it was to terrible in those departments but I do feel a parent should be discerning.  If you enjoy reading about monsters you would probably enjoy this book.
