Excellent end to this trilogy. Really enjoyed Wylie's story and all the Outliers.
The CollideKimberly McCreightIt all starts with Waliy, a young girl who was turned into an outlier along with many other girls by the government, and being an outlier that can connect with people like knowing their thoughts and feelings. Waliy is an inmate but soon gets out on bail only to discover the world has gone to madness which includes other outliers and her boyfriend Jasper even though she was forced to try and break his heart by his mother. Waliy meets up with her brother Gideon who she...
I should have read this book right after #2. I really couldn't remember all the details or even who some of the characters were. Many of the events were just too farfetched for me to actually suspend disbelief enough to enjoy it. I skipped the middle of the book and went straight to the end to see how she would wind it all up. An okay series and probably better if you read them one after the other without too much time in between. But a bit disapointing. Book description:Wylie is finally out of
It was painful to keep reading this and none of it made any sense.
This series started off strong, but things have gone progressively downhill as the plot holes started to pile up. The pacing is excellent, as it has been in all three books, but the plot was a mess. It seemed like McCreight had a great idea at the outset of the series but then didn't quite know where to go with it.I didn't hate reading this, but I've come to expect better from McCreight based on her other work and on the first book in this trilogy. This was sloppy, contained too many plot points...
The final book in the Outliers trilogy answered many questions, revealed truths, but also was confusing as heck! Wylie is out of prison and the search for her father continues, this time with her twin Gideon by her side.Meanwhile, Riel has her suspicions about her grandfather now running for president.Why are the photos Wylie left behind so important? Who is the Architect? What is this #endofdays drivel on the internet? Even as questions about Cassie, Kelsey and the other Outlier girls are answe...
this book didnt have the greatest conclusion to a trilogy like this. i didn't understand the sudden shift in the way that it was written (books 1 and 2 had chapter numbers 1 pov, and this had multiple pov, but only wylie's was in first person?) its a little confusing but i still sped through it and enjoyed it a little? very fast paced and easy to read in a day if you have the time
The Collide by Kimberly McCreight is the third and final book in The Outliers trilogy. In this much-anticipated final book, you must keep your enemies close. Wylie is finally out of the detention center, but that doesn't mean she's safe. As much as she wants to forget everything that's happened and return to her normal life, Wylie knows that true freedom means discovering, once and for all, who is hunting the girls who are Outliers-and why. Armed with only a few clues and a handful of trusted al...
2/5"The Collide" is the third and final instalment in Kimberly McCreight's "Outliers" trilogy. Picking up right where the previous book finished off, Wylie has been released from the detention centre after learning that her mother is actually alive. Her twin brother, Gideon (who is really the only character to have become more likeable as the series progresses) picks her up from the centre, and the two embark on their journey for answers and to find their missing parents.As far as I can recall,
I thought this was not a satisfying conclusion at all. It felt rushed and didn’t have the same suspense and danger as the first two of the trilogy. Also, still a bunch of unanswered questions, a lot of which were added right near the end of the book
Oh boy. Oh BOY! That freaking series killed me. No gonna lie, I was kinda nervous before reading the last book in this trilogy. But am I disappointed? Absolutely fucking not. That book was both action full but also you could see how much the characters have changed and growth. You got answers for all the questions, and the freaking intrigue? Chef’s kiss.I honestly don’t understand why this series is so underrated/ has such a low rating. In my opinion it’s well written, has great plot and charact...
I probably should have just DNF'd this. It just wasn't for me. The sudden added viewpoints - in third person compared to Wylie's first person, was very jarring for me personally. None of the surprises or twists felt that surprising, and that's because there were no red herrings really. Every possible bad guy, WAS a bad guy. There were no other options, no mystery, even though a lot is framed as a "Who dun it?" The culmination of events was completely predictable. The ending was rushed, and I was...
I want to say... that I really did want to like this series. I think it stemmed from a really interesting idea. In the end, I was disappointed, though. (You can prepare for spoilers now, though I think this is going to be less of a review and mostly just me hitting the main points that stuck out to me as I was working my way through the final book.) For one, I mentioned Jasper being kind of a useless character in my review for the last book. And they do try to fix that a little here. His status
I really wanted this last book in the series to make up for the mediocrity of the second. It did not. The end was super rushed, the plot at times confusing... I had no desire to finish, and had to force myself because I did want to know how it ended. But then the end just... jumped.... with no explanation. I did want to finish it, that's why I gave it a 2, but it's more like 1.5.
I thought this was a satisfying ending to the series. Kept me entertained and I used the phrase "son of a b****" more than once. I liked the ending because much like life, there is no pretty tied up ending. I am sad there won't be another in the series.
Obviously there's something about these books, if I read them all in like, 3 days. I wanted to know the ending, I wanted resolution. But... Come on with the twists and cliffhangers and the enemies who were supposed to be friends already. These people have been screwed over so many times in the same ways, I'm surprised they trust anyone. How many times can Wylie be tricked before she learns *not to trust correspondence*?! (view spoiler)[If you ain't talkin' to their face, don't trust it! Seriousl...
[Note: there may be spoilers if you haven't read the two previous books in the series.]The third book in McCreight's Outliers series picks up with Wylie finally out of the detention center, but in no way safe and sound. She still hasn't found her Dad and she's jolted by the appearance of the surprise visitor from the end of book two. With the help of her twin brother, Gideon, and a few other trusted friends, Wylie tries to figure out exactly what is going on with the Outliers. Who is hunting the...
Maybe more like 2.5. This book was better than the second one, so there's that.I don't know. This turned into some Jack Ryan political war drama and I just didn't really care. Now that Wiley's out on bail, her and her brother are determined to find their father. But this book isn't just from Wiley's POV anymore. Now we also get Jasper and Riel along with political briefs and blog postings. It was just too much and too convoluted with all of the side stories and mysteries. The only character I re...
*Spoilers about ending* I am not sure how I feel about this book. I had come to realize that I had not read this book which is the 3rd part of the Outliers trilogy. I was excited going into this book because I thought I remembered the last ones being really good. For me though I just didn't get enough from it. It felt like a one note book and nothing really developed. Sure I was surprised at some parts and their were twists I didn't expect but other than that I just found it boring. I think I ju...
SPOILERS:This series was...yikes. I feel like "whiny" would be a more appropriate name for the main character, "Wylie" who spends nearly all three books disregarding everyone's advice while also bemoaning every 2 seconds how "broken" she is. The plot of the series doesn't make much logical sense and there is a lot of the author making all men out to be useless and evil (except the hot ones). Jasper is quite frankly my favorite character of the entire trilogy, coming in with great one-liners to r...
