Numbers Trilogy: An Overall Review

I like to keep things tidy on here by adding an overall review if I read a series in order all at the same time. It's kind of like a quick guide pointing out the pros and cons. Which book I liked the best. Which book I liked the least and then finally I give the series an overall mark.

I'm going to just do it in bullet points last time because then it was short, sweet and to the point. Why blither on when you don't need to?

Pros

• Well written

• Excellent characterization

• I loved how each story had a completely different story but at the heart they were about the same thing.

• Not too much romance.

• The books all played like movies in my head.

Cons

• Language - there's a lot of swearing.

• Synopsis-itis - two of the trilogy had misleading blurbs.

• Can be mentally draining to read

• Can get a bit violent

• Some people may not like the writing style because it fits the characters.

Best Book:  Numbers 2: The Chaos

Worst Book: Numbers

My Overall Rating

4 stars - This is a gripping series that blew me away with each installment. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a gritty thriller with many twists. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sure is mine. All I can say is it's amazing what you can find in WHSmith!
