Title: Watered-down tease of a conclusion.
Product review: My interest in this book was high because of the build-up of the 3 other(mostly)fine books, and desire to finally KNOW something of Hannah's fate kept me immersed in the book until the end. Still, lots of frustration here: it's essentially a rehash of the earlier material, with a complete vanishing of some characters & a pointless emphasis on a cartoony, annoying girlfriend who is meant, I believe, to represent the callous outside world. I don't know. I feel disappointed in this pat, over-simplified wrap-up of a fascinating, flawed, believable bunch of decent people. Cooney may have wrung all the "good stuff" out of it. In that sense, I'm glad this is the conclusion, as it seems time for a rest.
