Jul. 23rd, 2007 06:59 pmWell I was GOING to read my friends page, but after responding to the first Book 7 response I saw (Liz's), it occurred to me that maybe I ought to get all my initial thoughts out in my own post first to, you know, consolidate it, and then go out and respond to everyone else's different thoughts, so here you go...
Verdict #2 is-- excellent! Once more, as in the case of the movie, better than I worried. My biggest concern going in was How on earth would she be able to tie up ALL the loose ends and still do so in the context of a compelling plot? Well, she did, which puts this final volume one up on the final volume of the Series of Unfortunate Events (QUAGMIRE TRIPLETS????) AND one up on Book 6, which, though enjoyable and full of important information, I found to be lacking in actual plot development. And considering I quite liked both those books, you know this one was even better.
