A great sequel to Revolution, don't get me wrong, but there are too many things bugging me with this.

As the first story already established the setting, the mindfuck, and the majority of the world, this story seems unfulfilling. The world has already been established, and there's no sense of suspense to it. We all know that Doctor Seuss is behind all this, and there's no mindfuck to it. It feels very... textbook. Hitting all of the bulletpoints, but not daring to go any further. Not only that, but I couldn't take this pasta seriously. In the first pasta, it worked because you didn't know that it was Seuss. Now that we know it was him, it's laughable.

I know that sometimes when you take a fond childhood memory and distort it, it can seem scary. But this is far too juvenile to be taken seriously. I mean, really. The fact that you're trying to tell us that THIS not only attempted to, but successfully took over the world is... baffling.

5/10. Good sequel, but bad pasta.
