The oh-so heart moving conclusion of the Hamish X Trilogy! The ending forced me into tears, and I couldn't stop talking about it for days! It also surprised me, though(I won't tell you how though, or I'll spoil it!). A lot more supernaturel run-ins with hamish X and the truth is finally revealed! Who is Hamish X, or, what is he?

A fantastic ending to this series! As the mystery of who Hamish X is unravels, so do the plans of the sinister Grey Agents! This is a great end for the trilogy.

I love the Hamish X books. The narrator always cracks me up, and after the less-than-stellar footnotes in the last book, he really shined here. I laughed aloud at his explanations of the word "Claustrophobic" (nothing to do with Santa Claus, although...) , "Falsehood" (originated with monks who had to wear red hoods if they lied. All went well until they discovered fashion during the Renaissance...), and many more. The story is action packed, laughter filled, and has a very satisfying end. I really hope Sean Cullen writes more children's books!

This book really ties up any and every loose end. It explains the origins of the ODA, who Hamish X is, who Hamish was, what he was picked for and why, and why he's always wearing his boots. The plot is simply too good to spoil any of it!

SUCH SUCH SUCH SUCH SUCH a good series!!! It's up at the top of my "AMAZING-NESS BOOKS" list, it may even slightly beat Harry Potter, and that's saying alot in my standards!!

It made me cry, it was so amazing. And not alot of books can actually make me cry. Such a good read, I suggest it to all HP and fantasy lovers.

The Hamish X series is a truly amazing peace of writing. On every page of the book there is severe suspension as the legendary child slavery escape artist discovers who he truly is and what is his purpose in the world.The books are great that even the strongest of all minds can tear him or herself away from the incredible series.

Fantastic ending for a wonderful series. We were a little tense at the end and there were some tears (adult and child) but it was worth it to see the end of this fantastic journey. Mimi, Parveen and Hamish worked their way into our hearts.

[Rianna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even if this book was not clever, exciting, and full of endearing characters, it would be worth reading for the footnotes (especially the one about the Sasquatch and his cousin , the Yeti)
