Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I finished Curse of the Harvester (Dream Jumper, Book #2) tonight, partly so that I could review it and pass it off into my children’s hot little hands tomorrow; I imagine they’re going to love it.  As for me?

Ehh.

I’m not the intended audience, you know?  The flatulence gag did absolutely nothing for me, and a bunch of dream-jumping-action-sequences linked by random “tests” and villains that are abruptly introduced and barely explained does not actually constitute a plot.  The ending didn’t help, either; it implied more books to come, and yet it’s been a couple of years and nothing else appears to be coming.  (Honestly, the ending-with-no-subsequent-books might also annoy my children.)  On the other hand, they’ve already read the first book, so whatever, right?  It’s not like graphic novels are a significant time investment.  I probably would have chosen to read it anyway, because SEQUEL, but you’ll have to make that call for yourself.
