As always, the adventure, suspense and character interactions were really well written. I am somewhat disappointed by a lack of overall resolution in a number of respects, all of which would be spoilerish to list out, which were left to the readers imagination and interpretation of hints that were dropped during the story. 4.5 stars Great ending to an all-around great series. I did them all on audio, and though the readers changed, I liked them all. Emily Bevan did the last few, and I especially loved how she did the Skull’s and George’s voices. There were many laugh-out-loud moments, but I think the first was when the Skull accused the Lockwood and Co. agents of”skullism.” You’ve heard of racism. You’ve heard of sexism. Well, this is skullism, pure and simple. You’re judging me by my outward appearance. You doubt my word solely because I’m a skull, lurking in a jar of slime-green plasm. Admit it! And I loved this description of George’s jeans (“dungarees” in the audio—when I checked the print version to copy the quote, I was to surprised to see a different word). These were of remarkable and sinister bagginess, revealing untold acreages of George whenever he bent over or made sharp turns. A few scenes went long, and I spent a good amount of my work commute yelling “Break the jar!” at Lucy. There were some surprises during the final confrontation, and though it’s the last book in the series, it felt like more stories could be told. I was excited to hear this is being adapted to television, and I hope whoever does it doesn’t bungle it. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

HTML:Five months after the events in THE CREEPING SHADOW, we join Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and their associate Quill Kipps on a perilous night mission: they have broken into the booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, where the body of the legendary psychic heroine Marissa Fittes lies. Or does it? This is just one of the many questions to be answered in Book 5 of the Lockwood & Co. series. Will Lockwood ever reveal more about his family's past to Lucy? Will their trip to the Other Side leave Lucy and Lockwood forever changed? Will Penelope Fittes succeed in shutting down their agency forever? The young agents must survive attacks from foes both spectral and human before they can take on their greatest enemy in a climactic and chaotic battle. And to prevail they will have to rely on help from some surprising??and shadowy??allies. Jonathan Stroud once again delivers a rousing adventure full of danger, laughs, twists, and frights. The revelations will send readers back to Book 1 to start the series all over Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
