I found this second volume extremely helpful and very rewarding, personally and in my mission. As an extension to volume one, very excellent follow-up. I fully recommend both volumes.

Excellent.  A great follow up to a stellar book.  This is one of the rare cases where I would say the sequel matches, if not surpasses, the original novel.  What gives it this quality in part is that it doesn't try and reinvent itself, its characters, their motivation, or trumph up the conclusions/settings from the original.  Instead it feels organic, like talking to a friend you haven't seen in 15 years and it feels like you are picking up right where you left off.

I would actually say this is more of a continuation than a sequel, since there is no jarring transition between the two.

Highly recommended.  I look forward to seeing whatelse the author produces.

Volume 1 and 2 have definately been added to my favorites list. Buy this, you will not be disappointed. I enjoy books with dwarves, elves, magic, swords, castles, pirates, honor and snotty little princes you wish you could slap. This book had all this and more and yes, I enjoyed it very much! Although Volume 2 had a satisfactory very nicely wrapped ending, I believe room was left for a follow-on to this story which I REALLY hope there is. I'll be watching to snap it up should it become available.

This second volume is just as good as the first and certainly equal to the complete set on MDG (Trio Parnassus). I refer you to my review of Vol. 1, as my comments there apply to this recording word-for-word.

"Astro Boy Vol. 2" continues the excellent tales of Tezuka Osamu's seminal creation, the boy robot Astro Boy! (Can't you just hear the theme music!)
This second volume continues Tezuka's familiar themes, exploring the political and emotional impact of robot populations, are they second class citizens or individual beings, do they have souls and emotions?  All very common themes in modern Science Fiction, but Tezuka did it first here.
There are 3 stories, the first featuring Astro Boy and a plot to prevent robot voting rights, the second staring a robot magician who's body is stolen yet who's soul remains his own, and a final story of Astro Boy's love for a special plant and the story behind it.  All 3 stories are very well crafted, blending entertainment with social commentary seamlessly.  A great series for parents looking for comics for their kids.
The only problem with the Dark Horse presentation is the order in which the series are released.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order, and volume 2 has two new characters appear, Uran and Cobalt, without any explanation or origin.

The second volume in the Deep Space series is even better than the initial installment. If you're a fan of space opera, or even sci-fi in general, this book won't disappoint. There are a lot of POV shifts here, but I didn't find them jarring or distracting in the least.

There are three major plot arcs ongoing, and the lesser plot lines tie in extremely well. That Ethan's wife and son at least survived the initial invasion is exciting in itself, but their individual stories are very compelling. My one minor quibble was that the arc on Desdra, Ethan's wife, doesn't really progress very far, but I expect we'll see quite a jump in book 3.

Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the first-rate editing of this volume. Far too many self-published fiction works are sloppy, with typos, words missing, poor sentence structure, and the like. All of these things can pull the reader out of the story, and, if bad enough, cause one to not finish the book. Not the case here at all: not only was this book fun to read, but it was excellent from a technical sense, too.

Eagerly looking forward to Book 3.

Continuing the great writing and art of volume 1. Not much more to say than that. The first volume was fantastic, and and as soon as I finished this I pre-ordered volume 3, and I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed!

After much anticipation, I received Volume 2 of this P&P sequel and was more than delighted with Ms. Sherwood's continued vision of the ups and downs that Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy would no doubt experience during their first year of marriage.  Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down.  Bought a second copy of both volumes as a gift for a friend who is a fan of P&P.

A nice surprise was the development of storylines regarding some of the lesser mentioned characters from P&P.

I can't wait to see what happens next in Volume 3.  If it's as good as Volume 2 it will be well worth the wait.

Great view from the other side of the line!  Both volumes were worth the effort.  Why hasn't this been done before?

Excellent follow-up to "His Good Opinion." I couldn't put the book down during the last half, so eager was I to see how it all resolved. I enjoyed learning more about Colonel Fitzwilliam and his friends. I also liked seeing Kitty Bennet again, to see how she might be faring after losing Lydia in marriage. My only complaint was that the book ended!

I love this entire series and I bought this 3-in-1 just so I could get the extra two volumes. If you loved the first 13 volumes this is definitely worth getting!

If you have volumes 1 and 2, you really shouldn't miss this one!  Well worth the money.  Lots of good ideas.

The first book continued in the same superb style as before. This ones begins with Alexander and ends with the fall of Rome, with some much appreciated side trips to India and China, two areas so often neglected by  our Western educational system.  Side trips are probably not the best way  todescribe the "visits" to India and China, as they (especially  China) take up a large portion of the book.  The birth of several of the  worlds major religons are here as is Confusius (not a especially flattering  portrait b.t.w.) Once again the reader is provided with an excellent  bibilography at the end for further research.  Mr. Gonick, many, many  readers such as myself eagerly await volume 3......

Fantastic follow-up book that expands on the first without leaving it behind.

This is a story worthy of my permanent collection.

I feel so fortunate to have found this volume (I have also purchased Volumes I and III at a very good price. Thank you. Amazon.

I just reviewed the second volume and figured I should go back and write something about this one, too.

I really loved these two books. They are religious in nature, being about the "End TImes" and follow the scriptures pretty closely. I was pleased to see how a couple of others envision all of this happening.

I cared about what happened to the characters, too - not just how the events would come to pass...

I read Volume 2 immediately after I got done with this one, and thoroughly enjoyed it too. And, I would read more from these authors.

Second in the series on the Dismukes family. For researchers of this family, it covers almost every note found about anyone in the family. You really need the volume on Virginia as a precursor to this volume, and both are excellent. From there, the series moves on to other states as well
