    That's some pretty sloppy business right there. It's not a sequel if it's the same story that you just randomly chopped in half. It wasn't bad, but I was pretty disappointed with some of the stuff, like the "duuuuhhhhh...let's go steal a chopper! How hard can it be?" part. And pulling this stunt was kinda bizarre IMHO.

    Bump!

    So I've been reading Adrian's Undead Diary on my Nook for a while. Certainly a different feel than The Union Creek Journal, but I like it. Some of the entries can be pretty long as well. I'm reading the entry about the two girls at the school now, and this is worth at least three normal entries. I'm not actually sure how long this one goes, or where I am as far as progress. Thanks for the recommendation dropped_chevy. I some how remembered the name after nearly a year.

    Also, anyone know if the author of The Union Creek Journal ever put out more work?

    You're welcome for the recommendation. I actually started up reading AUD again recently. I need to copy it all into a file and make a mobi file so it's easier to keep track of where I am.

    Finally finished AUD. I really liked the premise. I think I liked the premise more than the actual story.

    A lot of the survival genre stories seem like Dean Koontz books. Good story development, great plot crescendo, .... and then boom, it was aliens, story over in 4 pages.

    That's pretty true. A lot of "epic" tales have lame endings. It's tough to end an epic story. Wizard's First Rule ending was forgetable. The most epic thing about Stephen King's The Dark Tower series was how lame the ending was.
