Review of The Second Five

[Kaitlyn Wadsworth]

Excellent review of this book. Definitely my kind of book. So easy to imagine the location with masterful character descriptions in the book. The five are so different from each other. The sample of a few chapters seemed to move slowly, but for the sake of readers who hadn't read the prequel, it set everything up for the action to begin. It is a stand alone story. Definitely 4 out of 4 for the review. Such a great story to have as Book of the Day. Well done.

This book sounds like it has excellent character development along with great suspense and adventure, and I love there are twists throughout. I'm glad you enjoyed this book so much. Great review!

This action filled fiction novel really brings to light the questions that arise when achieving a goal that may even endanger lives. The five characters are on a quest to find highly coveted gold. As varied as their backgrounds are, it is interesting to see the dynamics played especially how human nature comes into play. Congrats on the BOTD!

[Stephanie Mounce]

The BOTD features how people with varying talents and personalities are able to work together for a common goal. The narration from Nothing Brown is a unique approach in this tale during the gold rush.

Great review! I love the idea of following five different characters. I am excited to read a book based during the time of the Gold Rush!

Nice book talking about how wealth changes people. I’m looking forward to reading on.

A monologue story telling style that always gets my attention. It is always guaranteed to hold my attention. One becomes like the author in a sense, easily delving into the events being retold. The aspect of uneasy adventure creates a sense of foreboding and at the sane time hope and quest for wealth at the same time which is shared by all adventurous spirits such as mine. I can easily award a 5star for this one.

[Bettny Andrade]

This reading seems very promising to me. It would be something that I would sit down to read calmly and delight myself with the described scenarios and great adventures. Thanks for the review.

As a fan of adventure novels, i would like to read this book. I can't wait how everything turns out in the end, especially having mentioned of the lovable pets. Thanks for the review.

Trust, friendship and togetherness existed between the five men though each had different attitudes and opinions of things, kept them and they protected each other and worked hand in hand to stay alive as they mine the gold. This book will catch the attention of those who take pleasure in a gold mining novel. Good review

[Chrystal Oaks]

This historical fiction novel about five men searching for gold in Canada seems realistic, full of adventure, and provides thought-provoking themes. Great review!

[MA CELINA AGNES DOLINO]

I agree with what the review said. The book portrayed the individual traits of the characters and made them complement each other. That made the book more interesting plus the setting of the story as well.

“The Second Five” by Raymon Maher is a story about a group of miners panning and digging for gold in the Frazier River during the 1860s in British Columbia, Canada and is a sequel to The Deadly Five. The names of the main characters are probably typical of gold miners: Nothing Brown, Mean Mike, Henry the singer, Jacque, CF and Frenchy. These miners along with hundreds of others are hoping to acquire easy wealth by digging for gold. This is an action filled adventure book that takes place in the Canadian wilderness. Well written with a very good review.

Unfortunately I am not interested in reading this historical fiction. I am not keen on reading about a group of miners in search of gold in British Columbia. I shall take a pass on reading this one. However, congratulations to the author on book of the day.

[Sirajuddin A]

The setting of this adventurous story seems to hold intriguing elements as its theme is the expedition for gold in the 1860s and the five characters with different backgrounds and their quest for gold sound fabulous.
