The Last Watch - Sergei Lukyanenko
The final book in the blockbuster Watch series. This book was a nice ending to the series, pulling in characters from all of the other books. Some of Lukyanenko's strengths include: creating good adventure and suspense, creating a intriguing puzzle to be solved, and writing an ending that I had to read more than once to wrap my head around - not in bad way, he just thinks of such great explanations that I have to really think about how he's wrapped everything up. I always walk away from these books with lots to think about and lots to smile about. The only faults, although I shy away from calling them that would be: the book is a bit slow in the beginning, and a little confusing for those who are not familiar with the other books in the series. Also, there are 2-3 "nods" to the movies based on the first two books in the series which make you say: "Really? Really?". Overall, though, I say it's a very good read.
