The very last instalment withinside the Regeneration Trilogy struck me as a piece unfocused and heavy-passed in its use of symbolism and parallel storylines. However, positive scenes had been very powerful, and the finishing packed a punch.
I’m now no longer certain why The Ghost Road in place of Regeneration or The Eye withinside the Door gained the Booker Prize. I can most effective count on the Booker judges desired to honour the trilogy come what may and so picked the final ee-e book to expose their appreciation, similar to the Academy showered The Return of the King with Oscars despite the fact that The Fellowship of the Ring changed into a hugely advanced film. Personally, I notion The Ghost Road changed into the weakest of the 3 books(rated an insignificant 3.five stars, in place of the four and four.five stars I gave the opposite books), however it did not mar my universal affect of the trilogy, that’s good.
A overview of the whole trilogy is forthcoming.
