Review: A Thrilling Finale
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's a great testament to the quality of Michael Bunker's Pennsylvania series when each episode has been so eagerly awaited and received - none more so than the last instalment. After the mind-bending revelations of part 4, the scene was set for an epic finish and that's exactly what we get. The joy of this series so far is that it's been really difficult to second-guess the author's intentions. Some pretty acutely-angled twists and turns have taken this story in a much different direction than might be expected, and the finished result is all the better for it. Character development has been expertly rounded off, with some secondary-yet-important characters getting their fair share of the limelight and the character of Jed himself benefits from new-found abilities and emotions without his Amish background being needlessly overdeveloped or exploited.While some questions are answered, some answers raise even more questions and the events that unfold at the conclusion will surprise and confound some readers, but essentially will leave you wanting more, and certainly leaves certain avenues open to allow this story to continue and I for one, sincerely hope it does.
