Transformation: Book Two of the Euphoria Z Series

Euphoria-Z #2

by Luke Ahearn

Transformation is the exciting second book in the Euphoria Z Trilogy. Cooper has found his sister, Ellen, and her boyfriend, Taffer, who survived the infection. But there's something not quite right about him now. Cooper must leave Ellen and Taffer behind with a new companion to go on a critical mission to find the one person that might be able to help him. Weed, the surviving member of the Wild Rebels MC, has infiltrated the parking garage as a harmless old man, but he's not fooling everyone. The dead now change in unforeseeable ways that threaten the scant remains of mankind. A host of characters new and old are throughout Transformation. Some we thought we saw the last of, and some we wish we never crossed paths with. The only thing that is certain...time for mankind is running out.

Somewhat better than book one IMO. A couple different sub plots going on here. A group of survivors holding out in a parking ramp. The character Weed makes the story here for me. He's a dangerous and surly old biker, but his attitude, perceptions, and change of perceptions is quite interesting, sad and funny all at once. These folks are trying to make the best of a horrendous situation while avoiding dangers both human and undead. On the other side of the coin are Cooper, sister Ellen with boyfriend Trevor. This crew has their own run of bad luck besides the virus and zombies. The misfits they come across ruin their day in more ways than can be easily explained. Trevor is a piece of work all on his own. Some of the characters are a little rough around the edges, but it adds to the disparate flavor of the story. I look forward to the third book in the series when available.

DNF.

Having not liked book one because of the that the book was, what felt like for me anyway, one long rant, debasing and derogatory story about fat people, gays, women, blacks and anything else they could find, I hesitated to start this. I had it for review so said I'd give it a chance though in hopes it got better and had less hatred in it, but sadly, it wasn't so. I got to 24% and had to put it down. I couldn't listen to any more slurs etc and honestly could't care less about any of the characters. It's a DNF for me.

This is the second time I've tried to read this and it's still a no go. I can't really pinpoint why I don't like it, but I think it's that I am not caring about ANY of the characters. I think I made it to 10%.
