Minni synopsis: Left turn, space battle, Chang Gaff turns into a car, Frankenstein's monster does rope tricks, Clive is a god, the end.Yea it makes that much sense and it's even less satisfying then you'd think. Ok so after 5 books of travel, trial and hardship through the interdimensional alien prison world know as the the dungeon, building trust and relationships with his strange companions Clive is suddenly plucked out of there midst and sent home to 19th century England, but not really. Just...

This book is absolutely awful, and a slap in the face for anyone who reaches the end of this series. The structural premise of this series, that each book or so would be written by a different author, is an interesting concept. For the most part it works quite well. It’s certainly not perfect, and there are times where plot points or character traits are inexplicably changed or dropped. But it largely works, and the series is a fairly enjoyable read. Until this book. This book is a complete let

What an utter piece of crap this writer turned the end of this series into. I spent 5 books getting to know 6 characters and how they would react. The author spends the last book ignoring them entirely and turning the main character into an uneducated moron who apparently didn't learn anything during the previous 8 levels nor the previous 5 books. (Note: Somewhere in the back on my memory I thought there were supposed to be 12 levels to the dungeon not 9 but that could be me.)My thought is that

What total crap. don't read any of this series. Evar.

If you liked the first five books, don't read this one. Whatever you can imagine, it's better.Spoilers to follow I guess...Book 6 tosses out every concept you liked, and the characters, well those go out the window along with continuity of character. Every gain and struggle and change these characters went through...erased and brought back to the style of book 1, which was already the weakest book in the series. Well, it was until I read this one. Richard Lupoff should not have been the author t...

No, the 2/5 stars wasn't an accident, the last book in the series was really a let-down. It just ended so weirdly.

Wow. There is nothing better than when you find a series of really intriguing, interesting books - where characters and scenarios are built on and everything builds to a smashing conclusion that leaves you satisfied and wishing there was just one more book to read...This is not that book. This is not that series. The Dungeon series DOES have it's merits and is a pretty entertaining read, most of the time. Some volumes were much better than others, but even when a particular author seemed to be k...

Horrible ending to an otherwise really enjoyable series. I don't think the author read any of the previous novels before writing this it was so different.

This series started out okay but this last book was one of the worst endings to a series I have ever read. It was presumably the same author as the first book and as far as I could tell he hated what all the other authors did since then and threw everything out as soon as he could.

Oof. It's a real bad sign for the final book in the series when I think the character is a clone or being mind-controlled or in an elaborate simulacrum because he's acting like a credulous dope. Most of the other characters are disregarded in favor of Sidi, Smythe, and Clive, which is a shame because there were some great character moments with Neville (who had a nice character arc in book 5!), Shriek, Finnbogg, Annie, etc. Coupled with Lupoff either disregarding or forgetting things (Shriek's n...

This was a disappointing end to the series. For five previous books we met characters, learned about them and watched them develop, and followed their ups and downs. In the process, they learned more about the dungeon.Then book six comes along. Some of the beloved characters basically disappear for good, the main protagonist seems to have forgotten everything he's learned and acts in stupid ways, and the final battle is a big let down.I found this book a chore to finish, and I finished it only b...

I pretty much agree with the other reviews regarding this last book being jarringly out of place with the rest of the series. While there were occasional continuity glitches during the rest of the series the story held mostly together, whereas in this book any continuity with the rest of the series seems accidental.Just imagine your own ending for the series and skip reading this final book, it will likely work out better.

what utter horseshit

7/10. Prefiero al Farmer de CF, pero esta saga de fantasía (6 libros) se llevo yb 7/10 en todas y cada uno de ellos. Entretenida, vamos.

EndexA great ending to a great adventure. I waited over 20yrs to read these all the way through and I wasn't disappointed.

I'm not sure the author had read the 4 books between the 1st book of the set which he wrote and this one (the 4 books between were written by 3 other authors). There seemed to be no regard to how the other books had evolved the characters. The first 60 odd pages of this book are just devoted to one character with no news on the others. After that it is confusing about whether the characters mentioned are real or creations from the Dungeon. I wouldn't recommend this book at all. I persevered, as

This was truly a terrible book. It appear the author, who wrote the first book in the series, did not read much of the books between. Character development was abandoned. No explanation as to how the story got to this sixth book.

Readers who closely follow the series to this last book are likely going to be disappointed. Not only does the author ignore plot threads and story lines introduced in earlier books (instead focusing on ones he himself set up in volume 1), the ones he does wrap up are done so in an unsatisfying and seemingly arbitrary way. Even more frustrating, a few characters (most noticeably Chang Guafe and Clive himself) have completely changed their vocal and physical mannerisms. Lupoff writes their though...

I don't remember this series very clearly, since it reads like an acid trip. The series gets its start when Victorian English officer and gentleman Clive stumbles into a multi-tiered alternate dimension called "the dungeon" while searching for his twin brother. While two rival factions vie for control of the dungeon, Clive and the motley assortment of traveling companions he picks up must find their way through the various levels. Not a whole lot made sense in the series, with bizarre characters...
