Review: Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Carl's Doomsday Scenario Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carl's Doomsday Scenario is the second book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman.  You definitely want to start with book one and read in order.  The story is like playing a video game and each book builds on events from the previous.  So yes, there are cliffhangers.  Yes, if you like the book, you will probably be committing yourself to reading the rest of the books.  I, personally, am all in.  I actually have to force myself to read other things rather than immediately start the next book because I want to draw out the experience.  Book two picks up right where book one left off.  We've made it out of training and now the real trials begin.  Carl still has Donut and a rapidly growing velociraptor by his side.  What could possibly go wrong?  Although training is over, there is still a lot to learn if Carl and crew are going to survive.  They've picked up some friends and made more than a couple of enemies.  As exciting and thrilling as the adventure part is, these books are also laugh-out-loud funny.  I highly recommend these books to gamers but also to anyone who likes dystopian fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously.
