A satisfying ending to this well-written trilogy. All characters are seeking out the football and the biscuit, which are the launch codes for the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Donna leaves the comfort of the UK to reunite with Jefferson. Peter's heart is ripped out by Chapel and is torn between revenge and love. Brain Box makes major sacrifices to help his friend. Cath and Evan meet again, and Evan might finally get what he deserves.
Each character's plot line comes full circle, for better or worse.

I really enjoyed the first book of the series and the second book was a very fast read that was very enjoyable as well. However, I did not like this one much. It gave an ending to some characters, however, it seemed rushed and was 100 pages less than the previous book. If you liked the first two stop there, this will not make the series better.

This book was not good. After completing the entire series I can say that it's not that great of a series. It has it's moments, but overall it's nothing that great. I didn't care for any of the characters after Book 1. They just seemed to all collectively annoy me. They were bland and didn't really have anything to them. There was really no personality traits that strongly came through.
With this book I hated Rab, I think what he did to Donna is ugly and disgusting. I don't care if he was "following orders." That's crap. You don't manipulate someone like that and make them think you care for them. Of course he had his "but I ended up liking you" arc and Donna was not having it. I hated when Donna mentioned about their intimate time spent together and all he replies to that is to the effect of well that was all me and I couldn't help myself. Are you for real? He just seems really selfish and he only was around for Donna. When she blew him off he bailed.... for the moment.
The plot seemed to be all over the place at times with the multiple POVs, but as long as you follow along you're ok. The ending felt very anti-climatic. It all happened really fast. One minute Jefferson and crew is making their way to Evan and then next thing is Evan is falling out the window with Rab. Oh yes, he had his change of heart redemption arc. The ending I hoped would've been more action pack because there was plenty of room for it. Like Evan has the nuclear weapons for the United States and something like that you figure would stress you out while reading. It didn't. I think there was a lot more that could've been done for that plot. Even the plot in general if I'm honest.
The writing style is written like it's supposed to be through the eyes of teenagers, but it read like how adults thinks teenagers talk. It was terrible. It was really hard to get through especially in this last book. There's a lot of controversial or downright disrespectful things said, by characters, about other people or groups of people. With this it felt as though some of these characters were written with those exaggerated stereotypes in full play. It wasn't entertaining.
Overall, the first book is the only one worth a read. I really did enjoy it and had excitement going into Book 2, but by the end of it I was glad Book 3 was the shortest. At that point I just really wanted to get the series done and over with. This story and the characters could've turned out so much better. It had a lot of potential after Book 1.

Its not bad but I wouldn't call it good either. Just a very quick paced and a fun, if empty, read.
