I have just finished the trilogy. I never thought a book from this genre would leave me feeling so emotional. The characters are alive and I know I will think of many of them often. There were moments my family looked at me as if I was crazy when I would laugh outloud, growl in frustration, throw my hands up in the air and pace as I listened through my headset every moment of every day whenever I could. This story is amazing. Thank you, Mr. McDermott; my next download will definitely be one of yours.
