A Bittersweet Conclusion

Revisado: 01-10-15

Rex Pickett has given us another great book, further developing the arc of our beloved, angsty protagonist.

While I never felt that I didn't know where the story was going, it was always in a logical direction, and leading up to a satisfying conclusion, where Miles arrives as mature and as grounded as he's ever been.

Along the way, I couldn't wait for Laura to go, and for Jack to arrive. Much to my dismay, he made his exit all too quickly. I would have enjoyed one last great buddy sequence, along the lines of "Boar Hunting" in Sideways, or "Priapism" in Vertical.

Rex Pickett, if you're listening, I'd love to see another book, written from Jack's perspective. Maybe titled Lateral. Don't make me turn to the world Fan Fic. ;)

These books and characters, have meant a lot to me; making me laugh when I needed to, and enabling me poke fun at my own middle age tribulations.

I never counted on a sequel, to happen, nor a third book. Sideways 3 concludes in a scene which leaves just enough to the imagination, especially for those of us who will have a harder time saying goodbye, giving us hope, be it for the characters alone, or for on-going adventures.
