Numbers 3 infinity is the final book in the Numbers trilogy which follows the story of Adam and Sarah directly after Numbers 2 in the new world they have found themselves in at the end of book 2.
The thing I liked the most about this book was the relationship between Adam and Sarah. I loved seeing how their relationship had progressed from book 2 and liked seeing how strong they were as a couple in this book.
One of the things this book explores is all the questions surrounding Mia and how she managed to change her numbers. I loved how the plot around Mia played out I through the book.
The storyline of this book is very different from the other two. It was fast paced throughout. Often you didn't quite know what was happening and there were parts where you didn't quite know how things would play out. The final outcome surrounding Adam, Sarah, Mia and the new baby was awesomely clever and I really didn't see it coming in the way it finally work itself out.
A brilliant ending to the series which I know I haven't done justice to for fear of spoiling the book for anyone. Definitely one I would recommend.

I wasn't looking forward to reading this conclusion to the series before I opened up the first page and saw an interesting little note from the publisher. It summed up for me what this series has been trying to say all along in a few succinct sentences:
"Actually, it's not about dying; it's about how to live with the knowledge. That's the secret - and it takes a rather terrifying last twist in this final book. Don't close your eyes."
Sounds pretty cool, right?
I need to make a point to all you readers who might stumble across this review and be put off by the 3 stars and some of the things I'm going to have to say further on. It's this: if you have read and enjoyed the other books in the Numbers trilogy, then you should definitely read this! It has many faults that I will highlight and I thought it somewhat anticlimatic... but it's still the conclusion that this series needs. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped for, especially after having my mind and emotions thrown all over the place in the previous installments, but it wasn't bad enough not to read.
I found that, ultimately, far less happened in this final book. The novel is considerably smaller in size (about 100 pages shorter) and it read a bit like a tying up of loose ends - in fact, that's what it was. There was a story but it was less dramatic and less meaningful than what happened in books 1 and 2.
I do wonder if I'd have liked it better had I not been on an expectation high following the conclusion of book 2. Book 2 was very fast-paced and I wanted the conclusion to be just as wildly entertaining, but the pacing wasn't as good. I'd also ask that if anyone else here reads the book, please could you tell me what the twist is that the publisher mentions in the foreword. I kept waiting and waiting up until the last minute to be dramatically surprised in a way that would throw me completely off course and make me think "wow". I must have missed it somewhere along the way because I honestly can't think what it could be. Some help please?
There is a very important occurrence at the end that I'm glad happened. It just served to reiterate the overall message of this series - which isn't a big political statement, but a reminder that any day could be our last and the one that really counts is the one you're living in.

I was so excited to get the final book in the Numbers series and it certainly didn't let me down. I adored the first two books, Numbers and Numbers: The Chaos, but this book blew me away!
I have become totally involved in the lives of Adam and Sarah over the last few months and was desperate to find out what was going on in the aftermath of The Chaos. Right from the very first page I was dragged back into their story and it felt like I was watching my friends go through some terrible and horrifying experiences. I actually don't think I breathed for the whole of the book (well, maybe the odd breath...).
The writing, as always was exceptional and I enjoyed the plot even more than the last two books. It was unique, easy to follow and exciting. I can't really say much more about it than what you can read in the synopsis above without giving spoilers for the last two books.
I don't think there has been anything about the Numbers series that I've disliked. I've loved the covers, the characters are amazingly real and the world Rachel Ward has created for them is terrifying but eerily realistic. I am really sad to see the end of this series.
Would I recommend this series to you? I think that's obviously a yes and I would go as far as saying it is a must read for all YA fans.
