Review: Too much depression and pain in one go.

I've read all 3 Bob Moore books now in the last 3 days. I give the whole set 3 stars, but really each book on it's own is worth 4 stars.Perhaps it is the fact that I read them back to back that causes this, but having experienced the many setbacks of Bob so close together, I find myself loath to continue reading about the life of Bob Moore, and that reflects my scoring. I'm scared he'll suffer some more in the next book without any "good things" happening to him.Don't misunderstand me, the writing here is quite good, the emotions Bob feels are very sharp and you can really "feel" the rage and helplessness. Perhaps too much.However, I don't read books to get depressed, and this is how I feel after the third book. I hope the next Bob Moore book can give him back some semblance of happiness, I'll perhaps read it then.Plus there are some plot holes that are niggling me since book 1.  Where is Saint ? Wasn't there a connection between her and Bob ? Why isn't she in the picture anymore ? What's this with the invisible guard no one else can sense that suddenly appears ? Who did change the device in the city from yellow to red ? Some plotting to keep it all together is required !
