Summary: Confusingly Bad...
Comment: Wow, where to begin. This book is horrible. I can't believe I wasted my time reading both volumes. It is one of the most confusing, incredibly muddled storylines that I have ever read. The pacing of the story is awful and Krueger leaves us with an unsastifying ending. I would have expected more after investing so much time into this series. I came into this trilogy expecting an enjoyable read and haven't gotten much from it since book one. The writing is awful and is way too wordy for its own good. It seems that Krueger would be better off writing novels. Alot of the story revolves around no name characters bantering back and forth. The art is not very good as well. I wish that John Paul Leon would have continued with the pencils for these sequels, so at least you have something to look forward to. I guess he was smart to abandon ship before it got really bad. Overall, its a disappointing read. I, once had great expectations for this series but have been underwhelmed. I do urge you to read Earth X, the first book in the series and a very fun read. Earth X had a compelling interesting story with all of the big Marvel names and some beautiful artwork accompanying it. It sort of reminds me of the Matrix movie trilogy. But at least the Matrix sequels were somewhat entertaining. These sequels are boring and will leave you upset and wishing that you never spent the time and effort reading this drivle.

Summary: Could have been better
Comment: This volume completes the Paradise X series and I was disappointed in the finished product. A number of story lines were left incomplete; in fact, the book had a very rushed and hurried feel to it. It was if Krueger and Ross ran out of steam to finish the tale and simply threw something together to make the deadline.
While not in the league of The Watchmen or the Sandman series, it is an acceptable diversion for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
