The Last Orphan: An Orphan X Novel

Great series. X is a surprisingly complex character for the action genre, with a moral code that's not just a convenient plot gimmick. Mia's my favorite character, and I wish there'd been more of her and her son Peter, but what little there was was perfect. The antagonist of the story was also complex. The dialog between him and Evan was fun, thought-provoking, and walked the edge between really?? and really!! quite well. Nice appearances by recurring characters Candy, Joey, and Tommy. One of the many things I love about the series is that, embedded in the spectacular action and Burn Notice caliber spycraft, there's a sense of humor. Those chapter titles! That's the most noticeable, but there are little sparks of delight scattered throughout. The writing, too, is great. Mostly transparent to the story, but every once in a while, there's a phrase or paragraph or important thought that's expressed in such a way as to leave the reader breathless. I don't have many auto-buys, but Orphan X is one.

I have read all the Orphan X novels and I remember thinking when I began the first one, that this was such a ridiculous but fun read. The further I got into the novel and the further I got into the series I realized that Hurwitz is an excellent writer. Superb and I strongly recommend the Orphan X series.

I have read them all. The whole Orphan X series thus far. This book was disappointingly predictive. in the beginning I would not put them down, this one was easily put down. Will I read the next one, it would be a crime to waste all the time & money😉, so, most likely.........
