The Avatar Battle book two by Chad Morris: reading report two

         In this book I didn't like how not much seemed to be happening in it.  The characters spend a lot of there time working on solving a question their grandpa had given them.  I thought that they should have probably been more focused on how to stop the evil villain, Muns.  Throughout the book the characters were caught pondering about the question, or worrying about Muns revenge he had on them.  Muns also sent them videos that were probably meant to make the characters afraid.  The videos gave the characters an idea that he was going to attack again, and he also compared himself attacking to a game of chess.  He said that a famous chess player was playing a game of chess with another man.  He let the man capture all his important chess pieces before he made his major moves.  The man then took over the game and played checkmate on the other man.  I thought it was kind of stupid how Muns kind of told his evil plan.  Muns attacked a couple of times, but only with small attacks.  That was how you knew that something big was coming.  So you'd think that the characters would be a bit more concerned than they were.  Maybe it was because the characters didn't know what to do to defend themselves because they didn't know what Muns would do.  Even so, the author didn't get that across very well.
          I still thought that the book had many good surprises.  It was interesting to learn the secret about Dr. Mackleprank, but I'm not going to tell you just in case you read the book.  It was a good book overall, and out of five stars I'd probably rate it a three point seventy five.  It's a book that I'd recommend, but not as much as I'd recommend Fable Haven.
           I also thought some of the classes they had in the school were kind of funny.  I mean the author makes it sound cool, but it seemed kind of dumb in a way.  For example one of the classes was a class where you could control avatar, an animal avatar.  In this class who learned how to control robot animals in their natural habitats that they had recreated for the robots.  So you got to learn how to be a animal and about the animal.  Which I thought was strange.  I mean who'd want to learn how to be an animal?
           The second book hints that there will be a third book.  I know it sounds like I really disliked this book, but I really did like it. There was just a lot I noticed that was not well explained. I'll look forward to the third book coming out.
