1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing final volume, 14 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is the longest book in the series - and seemed like it. After the imaginative stories and sub-plots of the earlier works, this book seemed long and boring. I read it through, waiting for the interesting bits - but didn't find them. Sorry, but ...

1.0 out of 5 stars A poor conclusion to a wonderful beginning, 25 Aug 1999
By A Customer
For a series that started so promising, the "end" was quite a disapointment. PJF again makes a mockery of the characters which were established earlier, having them engage in completely non-sensical behavior given who they are and what they are doing. He kills off a bunch of characters to establish "suspense", introduce a bunch of new characters you couldn't care less about, and then has to make up a last-ditch obstacle to extract any action for a climax - which might have worked but for the fact he has to waste pages and pages extemporizing about the background which he apparently couldn't figure out who to reveal in any other way. PJF tries to set up a cliff-hanger ending, but I, t least, was so uninterested the characters, I really didn't care what happened to them. The first book in this series was wonderful, but the ending is almost insultingly bad...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last and Weakest, 2 Feb 2007
By K. C. Simm "kenart" (Lancashire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
As with other reviewers I found this last book to be a little anticlimatic. Given the initial premise of the story, given also the epic way it had been written, the complexity of the story, the attempt to bring it all together in a final tidy ending does not work as well as it should.
Farmer is more than a fine writer. He is up there with the best. His concepts, this series included are intelligent, sometimes with elements of genius. He uses words well, he usually develops his stories interestingly, just not unfortunately with this one.
Perhaps there is a case for saying a final book should not be written. Titus Alone from the Gormenghast series,springs to mind. As with this book it leaves one with a feeling of dissapointment. I loved the idea of a number of my heroes, (some that became my heroes because of these books) all together in these stories. I liked the idea of the author himself appearing, (Peter Jarius Frigate). I just was left with something I didn't want but had to have with this last book, just because it was the last.
As a matter of interest, apparently there has been a movement afoot for several years to film these stories. I think we have reached the point where such a thing could be done and done justice.

Philip Jose Farmer is one of those Sci Fi/Fantasy writers who do the job properly. He takes ideas and plays with them to get the best out of them. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that bad
Reading the first volume of the serie might have gotten your hopes up a bit too high. The second book and third one were quite disapointing. Read more
