I didn't think this book in the trilogy was quite as good as the others. I still enjoyed the plot, but there were parts of it that either bored me or that I was getting sick of. For example, I can't tell you how many times I've heard Thomas say or think "But they were my friend. I can't believe they would do something like that." Thankfully there wasn't quite as much untrustworthy-ness as in the 2nd book because I'm not sure I could have stood all the double negatives that would have ended up happening. Unfortunately, almost NONE of the questions you might have had about ANYTHING throughout this trilogy was even REMOTELY answered throughout this book. I guess I will just have to read the prequel and hope that a few things start to make a few of my questions make more sense. There were several things at the end you are left to assume and a big part of me wanted to shake Thomas for not getting his memory back in the book. Seriously dude, WTH? Overall, I liked the fast paced plot and even the (sometimes) shallow characters. Guess I will have to keep reading to find out what happened in the beginning.
