GWOM Finale

I was very pleased with the ending of this novel. It brought everything together and it started reminding me more and more of City of Glass. City of Glass didn't have any of the futuristic elements that Gun, with Occasional Music had. However, with the Six year gap in this novel it reminded of the long stake out that took place in City of Glass. The stake out was a little bit different in the sense that we really had no idea what was going on and it all seemed useless. Because everything came together at the end and it gave us the reader a sense of completion it reminded me a lot of The Big Sleep. With Metcalf getting frozen again I felt like it made a lot of sense. It also almost seemed to remind me of Blade Runner. I felt both of the main characters were similar in the sense that once they were done with their cases they just wanted to get away from it all as fast as possible.

The only problem I saw with this book was I felt like it might have been drawn out a little bit. I thought it went on a little longer than it needed to. I understand the detective novel theme and that there is supposed to be a lot of information, however, with this novel it seemed to me that they tried to give us a lot more information and it kind of confused us a little. That all said I was very pleased with this novel and it was well written.
