It's hard to say exactly what I think about this book. Overall it was very good, very deep. It was like an exploration of the potential of humankind, in life, in relationships, everything. Considering the two previous books, this was a much more difficult read for some reason. I figure most would say because of all the philosophical, moral, and metaphysical rambling that it contains, and they may be right. There is alot of it so be prepared, but on that note I honestly feel the story couldn't of been told without it all. My only real problem with the story is that there is no finality to the ending. There is alot still hanging out there for another book to work out, and hopefully the fourth book will enlighten me on some of it.
