Summary: A response
Review: An author's comment about "Mirror's Edge"... the book doesn't tie up loose ends and bring Sam home because the publisher and Universal wouldn't allow it. It's been one of their ironclad rules from the get-go: Sam doesn't get to come home. Sorry, to those of you who are disappointed by that. (My giving myself 3 stars is only because the software won't allow me to avoid rating my own work.)

Summary: DECENT TIE UP OF LOOSE ENDS
Review: An enjoyable book filled with temporal twists and turns. Sam not coming home was expected and nothing to be upset about. Ziggy being consumed with "her fellow computers" was ridiculous and took away from pre-determined characterization. My question for the authors is: Why bring in a totally unknown male named David instead of using Sammi Jo? Did she cease to exist? Where was Tina? Small questions that created a letdown for many. All in all, a decent finish to the book series. I only wish we could get a novelization of the final TV story.

Summary: Quantum Leaping at it's very best!
Review: Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the accelerator chamber and vanished, thus the Quantum Leap was born. In Mirror's Edge we find Sam in the body of the fourth richest man in the world gearing up for a run for the presidency and Sam's memory is starting to come back.Taking just over six hours to complete this novel, we follow Sam, Al, Gooshie, and Ziggy and they try to piece together what Sam is supposed to do and what he must fix in order to leap out. One catch, Sam's brother Tom, now a congressman, wants to know what has happened to Sam. Trying to stall Tom and help Sam at the same time, Al works on no sleep making sure that both parties are given the right information. Another problem that faces Al is the displaced body that is in the holding chamber, that person remembers everything and this has Al worried. With power failures, lock downs, government inspections, missing files, dysfunctional family problems and so much more, you'll have a great tome reading and imagining the entire story line. Now if they can take this book and turn into a TV Movie then you have got it made!

Summary: It's worth it!
Review: Every Quantum Leap fan will have a different feeling about this book. For my part, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't put it down, and finished it the day after I received it in the mail. It was very well written, and Ms. Davis captured the personalities of Sam and Al (and everyone else, for that matter) right to a tee. Since this book, and all the other QL books, were written to take place between the pilot episode and Mirror Image, we can't expect Sam to come back home. Much as we'd like him to! So Ms. Davis did the next best thing - she gave Sam a chance to reunite with his family. It provided very touching,poignant moments throughout the story. The revelation at the end of the book about the Leapee was a great plot twist. Ms. Davis balanced the sadness and the anger faced by her characters in the story with hilarious descriptions of Ziggy's trials and tribulations in being a super-computer facing the Y2K demon. All in all, I heartily recommend the book! It's a must have for any QL collector!

Summary: The 2nd to last leap
Review: I actually considered this to be one of the better QL novels I've read (all of them actually). The plot wasn't the fastest paced, and the characters (other than Sam and Al) were average. What I liked though, was suppplying a possible explanation for Mirror Image. And how <possibly> Lothos came into being. All in all, I would say, if you like QL, read the book.

Summary: A monumental disappointment
Review: I bought this book when it came out and avoided reading it until now so I could feed into my denial that the publishers dumped this great book series. And I'll admit, the story was very attention-grabbing and quite compelling--until the last few pages. The author(s) allowed Sam some closure, but what about the fans? We have no way of knowing what really happens to Joe Powell once Sam leaps for the final time, and no tangible notion of how Max, Kevin and Dove fare out. Nor is there any real link of continuity between Sam and the Project at the date of the leap. As a reader and die-hard fan, I had hoped for a little closure--this just pushed me further back into denial.

Summary: I am SO angry; do not buy this book!
Review: I just finished reading Mirror's Edge, only to discover that the "conclusion to the thrilling adventure of the cult hit TV series" merely leads up to the last episode and doesn't offer any real "conclusion." I can't believe I wasted my time spending the last few days staying up late to finish this book. The storyline goes on for 369 pages and then...? What the heck kind of a way is that to end a book, much less a series? I feel completely cheated and enraged. I should have read all the other reviews first, so I knew this would be no conclusion. As a run-of-the-mill QL novel, I could have lived with it, but the cover misleads in an unforgiveable manner. I am going to burn it!

Summary: Disappointing ending
Review: I overall was intrigued by the book. It wasn't as bad as alot of people say, yet it wasn't as good as the better books in the series were. I didn't like this new David guy, I really think we would've been better served in this "Final" book by having that character be Sammy Jo. The whole Ziggy crashing and interfacing with the other computers was stupid. I really wish they had've explored the whole idea Sam brought up about Lothos. Ended to rapidly and confusingly.
