** spoiler alert ** I LOVED the first two books, but the ending to the trilogy just seemed so plain. There was so much buildup, and it sort of fizzled out. I was getting ready for this big battle between Lord Azriel and the Authority, with Will and Lyra coming in to save the day, and I felt cheated out of it. The Authority, this great egotistical evil, just shriveled up and died? Dried up and flew away in a puff of dust? Really? I was looking forward to meeting the Authority, seeing what he had to say, what his point of view was... not nothing. I also was not okay with Ms. Coulter turning good. I wanted to hate her, and I couldn't get over what she had done in the previous books. I didn't trust her, so it was difficult to warm up to her and feel warm-fuzzies when she stepped in to help save the day. And I really, really was disappointed that the "big temptation" was Lyra and Will "falling in love". How old were they, twelve? And they're "in love", burning, deep, passionate love that can bring down worlds? Why can't we have a male and female lead without making them make out? And twelve-year-olds don't fall in love. Not that kind of love. The ending really did not match up with the rest of the books. It's like he didn't know how to end it, so he threw together this ending, bland and cliched, just to get it over with. Meh. Which is so sad, since the series, the world, the ideas were all so great... :(

It's no wonder that Dave Eggers is quoted on the cover of this book, calling it "astounding": in many ways, The Effect of Living Backwards is like a female version of A Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius. We have a young protagonist who thinks she possesses all of life's answers; throughout the book, she belittles others without literally saying so. Now, there's nothing wrong with having a genius protagonist. Until, of course, this protagonist (Alice) is placed in a cocky, first-person point of view in a spectacle of how clever, brainy, and cynical she can be. And it's not even a Holden Caufield sort of cynicism; it's just plain annoying. Take Alice's dialogue, for example: "I support denial in certain extenuating circumstances, for which this certainly qualifies." Blah. In The Effect of Living Backwards, Alice and her sister and flying to the sister's wedding location when the plane is hijacked by mock terrorists who play a series of psychological and philosophical games on their victims. This continues throughout the course of the book, leaving us wondering when they're going to just get off the damn plane. Moreover, you know the narrator isn't going to die, so it's not like you're shivering in suspense over her life. Actually, at a couple points, I hoped they would just shoot her already and put her out of her sneering misery. The main storyline is interspersed with back stories of the passengers. This is where we actually get some meat: the strength of the novel is in its tangents, its imaginative references that are thrown in here and there. But for the most part, it's a novel that's hard to swallow and lacks soul. I became impatient a third of the way through, as the book slowly lost all its potential charm.
