WHAT A WAY TO END THE SERIES! Mr. Riggs certainly knows how to end it all with a bang. This book runs at a break-neck pace and doesn't let up for a second. It requires some serious stamina to get through but it is so, so worthwhile. My favorite character by far was Horatio, who is just this wild guy that randomly shows up with a flamethrower and keeps saving the day over and over again. Talk about an unlikely hero! The ending is everything you want it to be. It's heartwarming, happy, and it made me cry like a baby in public. A few loose ends don't get tied up quite as satisfyingly as I would have liked, but I can forgive that one little slip-up. It's not the end you would expect, but it is the one all our peculiar friends deserve, and I won't say more than that.
