Book Review
It is sad to see this series come to an end. It truly is like saying goodbye to old friends. I took a peak at other reviews of this book on Goodreads, and I was surprised at some of the criticisms. Many folks found the first part of the book boring. This wasn't the case for me at all. The best feature of this book series is what shone the brightest in this final book - the mental processing of gifted children, all in their own way, coalescing around their relationships with one another...which, perhaps for others, was the boring part. Not sure. This for me, however, was enthralling and probably helpful for my own thinking processes.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
