"Bubble", is the final novel in the "Game" Trilogy.  As HP starts to get closer to discovering the identity of the Game Master he also learns of a potential attack on the Royal Wedding; an attack for which he is being set up as patsy.   Though much more demur and less  unique compared to the previous two novels,  enough twists and turns ensure that the story concludes in a satisfying page-turner. 3.5/5

This all turned out to be a bit much, with too many characters and too many things going on to keep track of what's going on. And that's not even mentioning the confusing nature of the book to begin with. There is not a likable character to be found in these books. HP in particular is completely unlikable. And somehow he manages to survive anything that happens to him, and get out of any scrape he's in. He's like a superhero, except there's no reason why he should be. It's just that's the way things needed to go for the author to advance his story. It was all way too out there to be believable in the slightest.

neļauj atslābt uzmanībai, bet var nolikt malā jebkurā brīdī, lai atkal ķertos klāt. Tīri labi, bet nekas izcils.

Enjoyed this book was disapointed with the ending though as they left it open for a possible new book.

I sort of enjoyed Bubble in much the same way I enjoy a leave your brain at the door, dumb blockbuster movie with someone like Bruce Willis and a load of explosions. The writing isn't great but it had me turning the pages.

But oh dear oh dear The plot is a mess, the writing dips to almost Dan Brown levels of bad, Rebecca continues to be 'a male character with tits'. HP has ludicrous abilities, he chain smokes (and it appears it's important to know they are Marlboros) eats bad food (mostly gorby pies it seems), and he slobs about playing computer games and wanking. However when called for can run at incredible speed for long periods of time. When I smoked I could hardly run for a bus. He also appears to be immortal I thought the Kergan would show up and lop off his head

The 'twists' were signposted and obvious and ultimately not very satisfying.

The action was no longer gripping in this third installment... I really just wanted to get to the end and find out what story the author had concocted that could explain everything. I guess I was a little disappointed and so would give this book just 2.5 stars.
