Ok, even though I would absolutely recommend this on audio, I can't discount the fact that you should probably own, or at least look at the book in the library or bookstore. The illustrations are incredible. And if you've been following this series, you'll know who this little mischievous creature is. Too funny!!So, basically, what can I say? This book was a perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy. I couldn't be happier with the whole book and the way it ended. Goliath absolutely lived up to the other two books, and you won't be disappointed.I don't want to say too much, because I don't want to spoil anything. I will say that all my favorite characters make an appearance in this book, and the two Perspicacious Lorises were so hilarious (Mister Sharp)! I love them so much! The romantic tension builds in this one, as Alek finally finds out that Deryn is a girl (the daft prince)! I loved every minute of their relationship and struggle as they tried to figure out how they really felt about each other, and what they could and couldn't do about it.If you've read the series, check out the audiobooks! If you've read the first two, go get this one now. If you've never started the series, what are you waiting for? With a mix of Steampunk, World War I, Darwinists, Clankers, friendship, flying whales, secrets, talking message lizards, romance, and two Perspicacious Lorises, this series is one that is sure to please just about everyone. I just finished Goliath, and I'm ready to start the whole series over again right now!Andyereadingteen.net
