War of the Black Curtain (Jimmy Fincher Saga Book 4)

I have read many of Mr Dashners books, and I must say this series is a great one for the younger children. Courage to stand up to fears, and bullies. It was very inspiring. I am an adult, but this would be a easy read for preteen male or female.

A very nice conclusion to this series. I had trouble putting the book down. In this one, you (finally!) get to see what I consider to be the mastery of Dashner's writing--the "Big Reveal" on what the series has REALLY been about. I was not disappointed. Highly recommend.

This is the fourth and final book in the Jimmy Fincher series. I like James Dashner and thought this series was pretty good, but by the end I really was just looking for some closure. I think the series would have been better if it'd been two books, maybe three, but while the author has an amazing imagination, one wonders what, after all, this all added up to. If you look at the four books on Amazon the first book, "A Door in the Woods" had twenty-three fairly positive reviews; the second and third books, "The Gift of Ice" and "The Tower of Air", had four reviews each; and at the time of this writing, this book has one review. The reviewers are dropping like flies! The premise is astonishing and the narrative voice is appealing, but the concepts are ultimately pretty goofy and the books become less and less accessible. No questions are really answered. The Givers (who are helping Jimmy and therefore the Earth) spout a lot of nonsensical oddness, give him four pretty weird "gifts" and send him on bizarre missions, and the ending was okay but not particularly interesting or emotionally satisfying. (The epilogue was pretty great, but it didn't make up for having to read through a thousand pages of mediocre fantasy.) Raspy, the main villain, seems very difficult to kill but then in the last book is dispatched in a sentence. The characters who accompany Jimmy on his adventures are barely mentioned in the last book, so the reader never really gets any closure about them.Ultimately a disappointing conclusion to an overly long and basically inaccessible series. As I said, I've enjoyed Dashner's work before but will approach his work with more caution in the future.

With the perfect amount of back story up front. ( I can't stand authors that spell out the first couple of book just to fill some extra pages)"Jimmy" is in for it from here on out.So when are we going to see book 4?

Wow!!! Having finished this Jimmy Fincher series.......it was Sapporo great!!! Everyday for weeks I couldn't wait for bedtime...to see what would happen next. It was a fantastic series....each and every book.
