Ness falls victim to the final book curse and delivers a stinker. Monsters of Men was a considerable fall off in quality from the previous two books both in terms of plotting and execution. The first two books in the series were about big ideas...what is the nature of truth? What is it's relationship to information? Why is the truth so easily obscured? What happens to truth in the midst of a war? What is the relationship between access to the truth and freedom?

In this book we get very little of that. Instead it is mostly Todd and Viola yearning for each other with a little bit of Avatar mixed in. Oh well. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
