Why This Is Hell

The final book of a sequence is scary. Will it fulfil everything you've wanted, and pull all those threads together? Or will it be a damp fizzle? There's been a long weight for this book - and I confess I didn't get down to reading it straight away for fear it might let me down. In fact it turns out to be copyrighted 2005, so I clearly bought it the Christmas before last. (On the other hand I'm now reading a copy of Midnight's Children I bought in about 1991, so that's pretty speedy by those standards.) ( So Does It Stand up? )
