4.5/5 stars.
After loving the last two novels by Taylor Jenkins Reid, when I saw this short story available for nearly nothing on Amazon, I snatched it up. Here's my review.

At first glance, Saw 2 is, like most sequels, more of the same but bigger. We have the police looking for Jigsaw's latest victims and we have the victims themselves playing the games. This time, however the scope is much bigger. The victims are not just chained in one room, they have a whole house to explore and the whole game is much more personal for one of the detectives.
The thing is, Saw 2 manages to add to the law put down in the first film. It expands on Jigsaw's motivation, expands his plans and uses two characters from the first film, Amanda and the 'Pig' and reveals that they were/are the same person. It is these additions to the law that help make the Saw franchise stand out from some others. Other franchises have the slashers going around killing their victims and repeating the same few bits of information unless it is important to that film. Of course, a big part of saw 2 are the kills but it does work on furthering the story and laying the ground work for more films.
It goes with out saying that there is blood and gore in this film but it suites the tone and isn't as over the top or as unrealistic as some other films.

Minimal cheap gore
The only good one. After this, the torture porn genre began with the cheap gore and poor writing. I watched Saw when it was first released not knowing any of the twists and was pleasantly surprised upon its conclusion.
