Oh yes. Sound of satisfaction. This final book rounds it up beautifully. The final touches on Paul and Simon's characters along with a solid view of Simon and Paul's relationship.
The author continues to build on the themes developed within the series and uses a soft and respectable touch on the touchy subject of an elder's right to choose their death.
Throughout this series, the author has done the same with the topics of bigotry, hate, and judgment of those who are seen as different from the norm. Some have screamed that the author is a bigot for using terms like 'the gay', but I maintain that they were being true to the times and the feelings of many. I have heard the word gay used just that way within the last ten years. Those who scream are not reading with depth or thought - merely their own biases and fears. ( )
