4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, December 14, 2004

Nia Mia - See all my reviews

This review is from: Last on Earth Book 3: The Return (Paperback)

I read the "The Vanishing" when I was still in grade school. My teacher kept telling me to start branching out on other books besides romance and horror. I tried to go for sci-fi and came across "The Vanishing" in the library. I have to say that I did come to like this book very much. I wanted to get the rest of the series but I honestly cannot remember why I did not continue with the series. I am now in college and was looking back into my earlier reading and remembered reading "The Vanishing." I decided it was time to get the last two books. It was incredible. I could not put them down. The whole time you kept asking yourself, "how would you react to that situation?" A lot of the reviewers say they like the second book, "The Convergence," better, but I am more partial to the last one, "The Return." The ending left you satisfied as well in my opinion. The whole series just made you think on how the world is today. I recommend this series to everyone, adults and young adults alike.

This review is from: Last on Earth Book 3: The Return (Paperback)

The Return, the final chapter in this breathtaking phenomena by Marilyn Kaye may not be the best in the series (for me personaly it was volume 2), but it gave me wonderful closuer on all the characters and left me missing them. You know, like i actually knew them personaly. It's weird, but this book is so incredible it DOES make you feel that way. FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN TEEN: READ THIS SERIES! YOU'LL ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT!! I PROMISE!!!
