Jul 27, 2016TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
Light is the only book in the series with a title that has a positive connotation. Ironically, it is also the only book where extreme mass murder occurs. The fear that was injected into many kids before is now a major part of their lives. As they could die any moment, and as the series is concluding with this book, many new discoveries as well as extremely exciting events spark all over the series. This is arguably the most intensive, dark book in the series with enormous moral decisions to be made as well as the various personalities of the villains and protagonists themselves. However, this can also arguable be the most liberating book as well from this overall theme of the Gone series with more realistic ideas such as the law or a person’s personality changing their decisions, as well as moments being much more exciting those of previous books. The ending of the entire series is excellent and gives an extremely satisfying conclusion. 5/5, for everything an epic finale that fits with the series should have. - @interneuron of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library Light is the sixth and final book of the Gone Series. In Light, the dome surrounding Perdido Beach becomes transparent allowing the outside world to see what has happened inside the FAYZ. This book did an excellent job showing how far the kids of Perdido Beach have come since the first book, by comparing life outside and inside the dome due to the now transparent forcefield. As a series finally, this book did a great job wrapping up a great series. The climax the series has led up to is satisfying and handled very well, and all of the story arches meet a fulfilling conclusion. Light is an amazing end to an amazing series. 5/5 Stars - @Fulton of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library It actually took me a while to read this book. Not because it was particularly boring or anything but there was a lot of beating around the bush, and unnecessary subtopics. I think it is because the author incorporated so many characters that it distracted a bit from the main protagonists and antagonists. The ending still confuses me to this day. How does everyone end up doing after everything? In general, this series was a nice ride but I think it kind of sloped a bit downhill after the second book. At least now, I'm finally done it! - @Siri of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
