review 1: Compound Fractures is the last of a series. My comment to that is, “Say it ain’t so!!” I may have read them all. I’ve liked some better than others, and understood some better than others. When I read the penultimate book in the series I wondered how it could end satisfactorily. White tied up some loose ends really nicely though, and all in all, the ending worked for me. So often it’s the penultimate book, tv show etc. that is the real peak of a series, but White did a great job here. On the other hand, though it tied up loose ends, it didn’t feel like an absolute ending, and it feels like he could still write more and continue the story of these characters that we’ve grown to love. If he doesn’t, someday I might go back and re-read them all. Hard to say g... moreood-bye.
review 2: **Spoiler alert** I've read all the Alan Gregory books, and this one was just okay. It seems like he is forcing the issue, making his characters fit where he wants them to go instead of letting their stories end so he can start a new series. The bad guy from the last few books, who has been orchestrating scariness from prison, is suddenly out of the picture because of a stroke?! And suddenly Lauren's big bad work nemesis is playing really dirty? And 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden play a part in the whole craziness that is Boulder?! I did want to find out what happened, but I didn't love the way it played out. less
