OFFSPRING (Jack Ketchum) - March 11/12

This expectedly fast-paced sequel to Off Season certainly possesses a number of expectedly engrossing interludes, but the book kind of fizzles out a little towards the end. My ongoing difficulties in separating Amy and Claire didn't help, and the overly descriptive passages simply lost some of their impact as a result. Still, it's a good, brutal book and I look forward to reading the final (?) installment soon. *** out of ****
