Err, this book disappoints me a bit.
I don't like it when Janie was being selfish, when Janie couldn't make up her mind right, when Cabel was being moody, when Dorothea was being the spotlight (I hate women who drink a lot). I was like, what the hell? Why do they have to act like this? It was like reading a book about a bunch of girls who are suffering their PMS period! Duh!
Back to Gone. Eventhough there are many things that I dislike as I mentioned above, I still love the story. Especially how we know who her father is. It is a pleasant surprise, knowing that her father does exist, and between he and her mother there is love. I kind of adore Janie's father, because in my mind he could be a perfect father to Janie if he had more time.
Anyway, it is sort of humiliating but I want to declare that I CRIED when I read this book. I thought about Janie's future, Janie's relationship with her odd parents, and how Cabel responds to Janie's condition if she chooses to be a dreamcatcher and still with him forever. Aww, can't help but falling for Cabel!
And ah, did I mention that I love Captain Fran Komisky? :)
Okay, I will stop ranting over this book. But there's one thing that I can't figure out till now. Is it me or there is any cliffhanger in the end of the book? Is there any sequel or what?

Interesting conclusion to a series I really enjoyed. I think I would have liked more resolution, but I still liked it.
Un final perfecto para la trilogía. Merece mucho la pena.
I expected more from this one and I didn't think it was as good as the first two. Still a good end to an awesome series!
Gone is the final book in the Dream Catcher trilogy. The first book [b:Wake|1661957|Wake (Dream Catcher, #1)|Lisa McMann|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414cikykprL._SL75_.jpg|1656772] tells the story of Janie learning and dealing with her dream catcher ability and starting a romance with Cabel. The second book [b:Fade|3657138|Fade (Dream Catcher, #2)|Lisa McMann|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41hnprTQjzL._SL75_.jpg|3700340] is Janie using her powers to solve crime. In this final book she is finally facing the issue of her alcoholic mother. She also learns more about her dream catcher "curse" when someone unexpected enters her life.
This is a short book, just over 200 pages. Janie embarks on a dark journey, facing her demons. Janie is very conflicted about how to use her abilities. She knows they are affecting her sight and will leave her disabled and she does not want to be a burden on Cabel.
I like the characters in this series, and it felt right that Janie had to deal with her mother's alcoholism. It has always been in the background of the series, although it is not the most interesting plot point for me.
She is faced with a choice of how to deal with her ability, when she learns of an option that may allow her to keep her sight and live a more normal life. However, she learns that neither of the choices are going to give her everything she wants.
I wish that this book was longer and there was another story line added. The ending is not entirely satisfying. It did not feel like the end of the series- wish there was another book to continue the story. I would like to see more of Janie and Cabel, and what is next for them.
I would rate this book 3.5 stars, which may be a little generous because of my enjoyment of the series as a whole and the characters.

Meh. This book is very angsty. We finally meet Janie's dad, Henry, who is dying. We struggle with Janie as she tries to decide to leave the police force and break up with Cabel all while dealing with her new found father and her still drunk mother. Janie realizes that this whole dream catcher thing is hereditary and decides that she wants to live an isolated life like her father so she doesn't have to go blind or lose the function of her hand. She finally talks to her father, while he's in a coma and then he visits her in a dream. Her mom is crazy at the funeral; the police force shows up and Cabel is amazing. Janie moves into the house her dad was living in and decides she's going to live like he did, and she dreams about him again. She realizes that what she originally thought was the decision she had to make: blind and crippled v. isolation is really blind and crippled v. isolation and eventual brain explosion. She decides to live her life as it is, taking things day by day with Cable. I get that she was struggling with what to do, but she was so angsty about it that I found myself being more frustrated with her than with her situation. However, the end was as good as could be expected. She finally talked to Captain about everything, and realized that she didn't have to carry the world on her shoulders. I liked that Captain gave her the flier for Al-Anon so she could go and get some more support because of her mother. I was not happy with how things ended with Cabel, but they ended the way they had to because they both had so many issues and things to deal with. I have decided that since it is so open ended that they live happily ever after. They are the only ones who really understand the horrors of the other and they support each other, so they live happily ever after, without any kids.
What a great ending to one of my favorite trilogies, although it was very bitter sweet.
This book was a bit emotionally draining with everything that Janie had to go through, and consider. I am glad she decided what she did, although I was a little worried with where she was initially headed.

Not as good as the first two books. I couldn't even finish it, the writing was so bad and the story so boring. I got to about 90 pages, which is about half the book and there still wasn't much of a plot.
