Ilustration During Books The Golden Mean (Griffin & Sabine #3)

I received your Paris card. I waited but you did not returne the 23rd. I waited until the 31st, but you did not return. What happened? Where are you?
--Sabine

Sabine's Notebook ended with a disturbing disclosure--Griff and Sabine had somehow eluded each other once again. The Golden Mean beings with an even more disturbing development:

I was sure I understood. Yet you were not here when I returned and there was no sign that you ever had been here... Today comes your card saying you were in this house for three days after my return. I am bewildered...
--Griffin

It seems that each cannot exist in the presence of the other. Yet neither can continue without the presence of the other. And so, in this final volume of the Griffin & Sabine trilogy, they struggle against the mysterious forces that keep them apart. Time is running out: Sabine's crystalline visions of Griffin's artwork grow cloudy and dim, and a threatening stranger begins to appear everywhere she goes. The Golden Mean is the tale of Griffin and Sabine's journey towards one another, sometimes dreamy, sometimes desperate, sometimes nightmarish. The golden mean--the harmony of perfect balance--is what they seek in the haunting conclusion of this extraordinary correspondence.

Told in the compelling style of the first two best-selling volumes of the trilogy, The Golden Mean allows readers to open richly decorated envelopes and draw forth intricately illustrated letters, to decipher the quirky handwritten postcards with their macabre and magical artwork, to indulge, in other words, in the wonderfully illicit activity of reading someone else's mail.

Criticism Epithetical Books The Golden Mean (Griffin & Sabine #3)

So weird and cool! I definitely want to read the other books attached to the series.

I hated the additional character added to this one. I guess the author ran out of ideas and so put that in for some drama, but it was dumb.Definitely lost the magic that was there in the first one, although I did like the stamp on the very last postcard.I borrowed the next trilogy from my friend so I'll go ahead and read them. They only take about 30-40 minutes to read all the way through so it's not a huge commitment.

As beautiful as the other three books in the trilogy, we get a little closer to conclusion in this book. I do still love them all, but have to say that I was disappointed in the ending. Maybe I'm not artsy enough? philosophical enough? tarot-card-reading enough to get it...? Of course, I still recommend the entire trilogy for the experience they give, but I do wish the ending was more comprehensible, as I sit here scratching my head. Seems such a lost opportunity somehow...

For a "conclusion" to a trilogy, this book is really lacking. I just don't get the hype. Griffin himself says it best: "To tell the truth, I don't know about the story, but I quite like the pictures."

Maybe I'm too much a seeker of happy endings (and one's that make sense), but this left me dissatisfied. I liked elements of it (new characters, new places, beautiful envelopes!), but I had too many WHAT?! moments to feel really settled here. Ending felt like the author didn't want a mystery but instead wanted to write more books, which I later found out he did, so that was no fun. Glad I read the whole series though, an interesting escape and still a nice testament to love!

Weak ending but otherwise as good as the first two. Love the artwork and the premise is very clever.

The final book of the trilogy, and Griffin and Sabine have yet to meet one another, other than through the gorgeous postcards and letters in the book.This one introduces a third character, who appears to have something to do with their inability to actually meet, but who he is and what his actual intentions are is left somewhat vague. Griffin is back in England and Sabine in her home. It looks as though they are back to where they began, but they are also determined to meet one another.Again,
