Isamlq's Reviews > Behemoth

Alek and Deryn grow closer in their friendship and much to Deryn/Dylan’s horror, she worries about feeling more than that. Near the last half of B, someone else enters the picture. (Let's just say that that was different.) One of the funnier parts of the book was when Deryn thinks she's going to get a declaration of love from him; she doesn't.

Alek takes a more active role in this book. In the first he was rescued, manipulated into driving a walker. Here most everything that happens to him is because he chose such. We learn a little more about his allies, Klopp and Vogler too.

I do have to say that Dr. Barlow and Vogler are two sides of the same coin. I love them both. But there are plenty of new characters, Mr. Malone, the American reporter is actually very mysterious and so are the new group of people Alek finds himself allied with.

Three reasons I enjoyed it: the illustrations are gorgeous, the characters take a much more active role in the story~ Alek in particular. Behemoth goes much faster than its predecessor.
