cameronkc's review against another edition

I love tad Williams, but this last book seemed to drag. Reading about going from place to place and dealing with various factions from heaven and hell didn't seem too important by book three. The journey got painfully long towards the end and while I liked the ending I could have done without 250 pages of the journey.
Overall, I liked his take on heaven and hell, but for some reason I was never very invested in the characters. I guess it is bobby himself. He is an angel, a hero, but kind of a dick. I guess that wore on me after three books.

My only complaint is that I waited this long to read it. An absolutely excellent 'ending' to the Bobby Dollar series. As usual Tad doesn't disappoint.

This was once again a quick read. I really enjoyed the characters, and the overall plot progressed more than in the second book, which felt more like a story inside a bigger story.
I could have done with less sex. Not a lot of actual sex scenes, but thinking of it and such - and not like "I'd like to take her to bed" but "Fuck me till I faint" kind of thoughts/dialogue. I've never cared for that...
Otherwise I really enjoyed the fluent language, and was very well entertained all the way through.
I'll be sure to read the next one too!

This is the last book in the Bobby Dollar Trilogy. IF there are more books coming out, then I think I will skip them. This has a good enough ending for me.
The story (and trilogy) were alright, but nothing amazing for me. This book wraps up the main plot, and introduces some more characters (that i never really got invested in) and a few more bad guys.
All in all, glad i read the series, but would not rush to read them again.

looooots of metaphors/similes that seemed to make the story longer than it needed to be. also the ending was unsatisfying.

I have to say, I was not that into the ending of this. I was hoping that this would be a contained trilogy. Instead there's a clear set up for another book. I don't know that I love the character enough to keep reading them.

I really enjoyed this roller-coaster ride with Bobby and I felt like the climax of the story was pretty awesome... until the whole bit with Karael was revealed. I felt like that extra bit wasn't really necessary and it could have been possible to have Caz brought back without, yet again, being used as some kind of bargaining token (besides, isn't she a pretty powerful demon? Why can she seem to do NOTHING?). I was pleased with Bobby's trial when Karael was the one who seemed to be acting on the side of being just but it turns out that he was just covering his own ass after all. So far, this universe has shown all of the higher angels to be assholes; besides the ones whose names you can't remember because they just don't do anything or show up often enough, it really seems like all of them are asses and not really being very angelic at all. Or maybe that was the point. But still, it made the ending feel a little dragged out and exhausting, since after everything Bobby went through, there was still MORE angelic rebellion to deal with?! It just never ends.
I also feel that the ending didn't give enough credit to Sam; it showed Bobby grieving but never quite seriously enough besides his usual talk of drinking himself unconscious. The death of Sam could have worked to give the story and the character of Bobby more depth if the book would just allow itself a single (longer than one sentence) serious moment without kicking it to the curb with sarcasm, thus destroying the dramatic aspect of the good bits that could have been deeply moving.
I did quite enjoy this adventure with Bobby over all, though. It was fast-paced and definitely action-packed, and I do like all the moments that point out to the reader that the Highest could mean something different since there are Goddesses involved in this and even Bobby has said, "I'm not the Christian type of angel."
