This last book in the Cahill/Vesper series was such a HUGE disappointment! As I read this one, I kept 'falling out of the dream' because of the silly dialogue, huge plot gaps, characters' illogical or unbelievable actions, and the author's overly obvious attempts to make this sound like a 'tween/young adult' book (including bodily function humor. I mean...seriously!?!). There was even a bit of crude language in this one, which was never an issue in the other 15 Cahill books.
I seriously wonder if the author even read any of the previous books. If so, he certainly was unable to capture the 'voice' of most of the characters. It actually became a chore to finish this book, which was really frustrating since we had been so looking forward to its release. So bummed.
Scholastic definitely mailed it in on this one.
What kind of book is this? Dan says 'freaking' so many times. There were so many loose ends... and come on, a doomsday device? Really? So clinched. Water filling up the room or poisoning someone? Clearly clinched. Dan is so sarcastic, Amy and Jake are acting like a cute couple, and Atticus is so serious. Ian, Jonah, Hamilton, and Evan are undeveloped. Ian is so gullible. Hamilton is so soft. How come Vikram Kabra wasn't in the story? If you ask me, he was a pretty important character as he shaped Ian's life. That definitely was a loose end. Borrow the book from the library because buying it is a waste of money. I hope Jude Watson can pull It off with unstoppable.
What a disappointing end to a rollicking series. Our favorite characters have been turned into flat cartoons of themselves, losing the unique complexity that made this series interesting. Yes, all the drama is resolved into a nice neat package, and some characters are redeemed, but I recommend reading this only for resolving the last bits of unanswered questions. And be prepared for smarmy dialog (smarmier than usual), one-dimensional character structure, and a complete lack of respect for the reader's intelligence.
SPOILERS AHEAD
For starters, Dan DID NOT DRINK THE SERUM OUTSIDE THE BATHROOM. Why would the author put something that was already mentioned in the last book? Jonah pretty muched asked if he could sing. I mean, come on David, Jonah is a star, but he doesn't just sing! Ian should've showed a bit more cunning ideas because he barely mentioned anything except make Casper a bit mad and mourn over Natalie's death. Amy is WAY too lovesick and a couple chapters were unnecessary, ie, Amy in heaven. I would've been much more excited if it was going to be written by the one and only, MARGARET PETERSON HADDIX!!! Just look at how fabulous "Into the Gauntlet" was, and all her other books! I really hope Jude Watson brings the Cahill spirit back with the Unstoppable series! >:( to you, SCHOLASTIC
As a teacher, I am constantly looking for some GOOD books to share with my students.... The first set of books (11 of them) were AWESOME!!!! I was so excited that FINALLY there were books I could tell my students to "put on their Christmas list" ... Now for the second set, Cahills vs. Vespers (6 book set) was such a disappointment!!! TOTALLY.... so much so, that I am sending them back to the authors!!!!! WAY too much violence.... too much blood..... too much junk that I would not want my students to read! ... shame on the authors!
