I read all three books, and am looking forward to going to the movie with my daughter, who also read them (we already have tickets).

There was a strong anti-tyrrany message to the books. However, I did NOT like the ending of the third book. Maybe the author was just tired of writing.

Which to me amounts to a political version of "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

I think that happens in every society, because the hearts of fallen mankind are evil. There is none truly righteous, not one.

Now, because of the grace of God, both specific and general, it isn't as bad as it could be (see: Hell), and in some bright spots (see: America, 1789 - 1913), some civilized peoples can be really righteous. But nothing lasts forever.

I think the author was right to include the element of "new boss, same as the old boss."

I didn’t like the ending of the trilogy, either. It was somewhat disappointing.

This is what society looks like without God. I noticed in the books that there was not a single utterance of God. No, “oh my god” or “Lord knows”. Nothing. In their world, their wasn’t even knowledge of Him. When there is no God—the One True God—the government replaces Him, and this is the result. Children are pawns and people are easily replaced.

This is just a hint of where this world is headed. :^(

The godlessness was acute. Maybe that's what was missing from the end. The spark of the divine.

But I really didn't like the end either, mostly because of how
