Many of his old toys have fallen by the wayside over the years since the first two Toy Story films - either sold off, or broken, or given away - leaving just a small cadre of Andy favourite childhood toys still around: Buzz, Woody, Jesse, Mr and Mrs Potato Head, Rex and Dr PorkChops (I think that's his name … you know, the Piggy Bank toy), with most of those - except Woody - mistakenly donated to Sunnyside Daycare Care, where they believe they will get played with every day.
(Incidentally, it's no mistake that Sunnyside Daycare Centre is a name that could just as easily be applied to an Old People's Home just as much as to a nursery.
That ending, though.
I'm not crying … you're crying!

Individually, each story is captivating, Halliday's ability to bring humour with subtle behaviour is remarkable. Similarly, her research into Iraq is interesting - though at one point I did get confused as she mentions the Clinton administration's foreign policy role during the second Gulf War when it should be under George Bush. I'm unsure whether this is a typo or a genuine mistake or I'm wrong altogether.
While each part is well-written, and the first story is completed in the third part when Ezra's character becomes a guest on BBC's Desert Island Discs, it all feels rather disjointed. Perhaps this is why the novel is named Asymmetry as a result? We may never know.

The whole crew is here, with twists and turns still coming. This is no 'take it slow' finale, no way. It's full of action, tense, with nail-biting suspense right to the very end. It was lovely catching up with all the previous couples, and seeing how they were getting on with their lives. But make no mistake, this edition is all about Cain, Olivia, and Godfrey. Yeesh, that man has creeped me out for 8 books so far, and continues to do so in this one!
I don't do spoilers, but I will say two things. First one, is 'Pegs'. First reaction - ouch! Second reaction - who knew?! ? And the second thing, I won't say who, but I will say tears. Even knowing what I know now, it still makes me tear up.
Have I intrigued you? I certainly hope so! This book is an amazing climax to a fascinating concept, that has kept my interest and enjoyment from the first page of the first book, to the final page of this book. Absolutely outstanding! The whole series is a 5-star read as far as I am concerned.
Absolutely, most definitely, and indubitably, recommended by me.
