My plan was to give a solid 3.5 for fun non pretensious poseidon earthquake day after tomorrow book with no chracters and lots of action. It was very fun not to have a "jaws mayor" scene, or that the assinine karen character either disappears or end up in flames.

But.... authors really have difficult keeping it up, doesn´t them?

After the midpoint things start to go south real quick... maybe it is just difficult because the timing was so quick, with things happening almost in media res, you can´t expect much more - it was fun because you didn´t follow your "average american family" - it is more like Godzillas old movies, where you follow the scientists and government.

Buuuuut after the midpoint the problems start to pile up and the interest to fade - most of what is going to happen already happened... and the characters that came and went are suddenly important and we are expected to care if they found their family. What?

Book, the deal was that we didn´t care and you wouldn´t spend our time trying to make us care... so in the second part of the game you pretend that we are invested in one of 30 protagonists family is very undeserved. And, as we are not following the common people in the park, is like you are watching the Rock abandoning his job to save his own family, real of course, but not exactly noble or professional if in every disaster everybody abandons their service.
