Carl's Doomsday Scenario

3.50/5.00

Carl's Doomsday Scenario, an action packed adventure through the Dungeons with Princess Donut, his loyal companion and sidekick and starring the pet dinosour-chicken Mongo. A wild ride that started with a bang in Book 1, Carl's Doomsday Scenario suffers severly from the sequel syndrome. While the AI's hilarious comments and jam-packed action blends with Donut's witicissim elegantly, the plot fails to impress in any way. The major quest-plot of this book seems beneth this book and is largely uninteresting. The inter-galactic plot is part way between funny and melodrama and fails to do either one of these properly. Overall, this book is a mixed bag.

Carl and Donut's character development takes a few good steps ahead. While these two pop-heros lambast with action, there are any moments where the characters struggle with decisions or learn any important lessons. This feels largely like a filler book in terms of character development. The series really needs interesting villains. This is a major shortcoming of this fun filled adventure.

The audiobook is highly recommended.
