When I read vol 1 several months ago, I drove 15 minutes to the closest library to pick up volume 2 as soon as I had finished volume 1 of Sang-Ho's imaginative work about a world where people are dismembered in violent public demonstrations after receiving notifications. These 2 volumes have much to say about vigilante justice & truth in the era of social media. A book that is memorably portrayed by one of the finest South Korean directors.

I had to get volume 2 as soon as I finished the first one. Luckily, my local library had a copy on the shelves! The second volume picks up a few years after the events of vol. 1. We are introduced to several new characters & there are a few returning characters. I think that some readers may find the lack of a concrete resolution at the end frustrating, but it fits with one of the overarching themes of the book. For me it was a satisfying

vivastory conclusion & I am really looking forward to checking out the series. Both volumes had a real cinematic feeling to them, with the way that the panels were laid out & the pacing of the story. It def played out in my mind like an extended film. There was a nice nod in this one to the iconic hallway fight scene in Oldboy. (edited) 1y
