A review by akalexander24
Gone by Lisa McMann

4.0

A bit like the missing link between lyrical Wake and plot-driven Fade, Gone proves that one can end off a trilogy in 214 pages. A quick read and a page-turner, I finished it at a bookstore (and thus get to blame any typos on the iPhone app) in less than an hour and a half. Problem is, it's addicting--Gone flows smoothly enough you won't be able to put it down even if you wanted to!

And, of course, proves one can end a trilogy in 214 pages much more easily by making something worse than better. Sorry for not denoting this review as having spoiler alerts, but did anyone truly expect Janie's problems to just disappear?

Yet even with the bittersweet ending, Gone manages to leave readers satisfied. My hat goes off to Ms McMann for that, indeed.

Overall, an excellent end to an excellent trilogy; I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be anxiously awaiting Lisa McMann's next novel!
