Review of Hybrids (Neanderthal Parallax) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm a big fan of Sawyer.I loved the first two books of this trilogy, and Hybrid lived up to what I've come to expect from Sawyer.It was a real page turner -- UNTIL about 2/3rds through the book.

Did Sawyer just get tired of writing this trilogy?

All of a sudden, the book turns to silliness.It's almost a parady of Sawyer's work.The theological thoughts are no longer delightful little subplots of a page or two, but drag on and on into endless garbage.The ending reads like a B-Movie from the 1950s with a crazed individual trying to destroy a world.At the stroke of midnight on New Year's -- well, I don't want to spoil the ending for you.It was bad enough for me to have to read it myself.

I often recommend Sawyer's books to friends, but I can't recommend this one.Hopefully this doesn't reflect Sawyer's future work.
