May 17, 2024Jeanette, Jesse and Neil travel into the far future, wanting to save an alien species that was nearly wiped out in the original timeline. They find themselves back in the dystopian future where humans are forced to conform or are sent into reprogramming - this time, however, they are judged to be so irredeemable that they are sent to an island with other irredeemables, never to leave. As ambitious as the previous two books, and again it doesn't have the space to really let the ideas breathe at just 190 pages - but I did like it a lot. An enjoyable trip down memory lane.

Another case of finding the third book in a near-forgotten trilogy twenty-five-plus years after reading and loving the first two. It's very dated now, of course, and even from the back, poor Jesse has the requisite '80s mullet. Still, I'm so pleased to know how the story ends, and see Jeanette realize her destiny at last.

The story started nicely. I liked the characters and their sincerity; it seemed to me that Barbara would inform us of all previous events, but in the end, that did not happen. All the unicorn and alien stuff is still vague.
For once, a romance does not occur between the male and female heroes. And that was fine because the whole story seemed like a children's story. However, the world building was a bit off. How could all times and places have the same objects and live the same way? It doesn't make sense. Still, I did enjoy the story. The ending wasn't too bad, with the decisions still to be made and the last minute surprises, even though the group mission ended with a few cliches :).
Oh, and... the name was very attractive, but looking at the cover, I was sure this was not a psychological novel, which made me reluctant to read it. The title really does not convey what the story is about.

Not a bad finish to the series. Ending was a bit abrupt, but the book was enjoyable, even after all these years.

This was kind of a disappointing finish to the series. Maybe it was the over-the-top grammatical and spelling errors. Maybe it was that the author couldn't decided if it was QL47, QL47i, Q:47,or AL47i. All those names were used for the one character. (Or maybe it was the software program used to transfer the printed version over to the electronic version? I don't know, but this particular book was over the top in errors and it greatly diminished my appreciation for the story.)
Also, the story doesn't fully resolve to my liking. I am left to believe that things will happen for each of the characters in the future, but it just sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.
Still, the over-arcing story was well put together. This last book, however, could have been resolved to a nicer finish. It felt thrown together at the end.
A quick read like the other books in this series, but, it took me a little I longer to read than the other books (even though, I believe, it was shorter than the second book.) Slightly disappointing.
Two stars.

Enjoyable suspence
I read all three books. The last one was just as exciting as the first. I had a very hard time putting the book down. I would recommend this series to teenagers and adults.

I need to reread these books. I loved them when I was young, but its been so hard to find them since.

Where am I? When am I? Is that a unicorn? Probably shouldn't only read the 4th book in a series.
