Fish Out of Water

This was a great ending to the trilogy, and I still really like that each book does stand on it's own. Yes, it's more fun to read them all, but there's no cliffhanger endings and each bit of mystery or adventure is wrapped up nicely each time. A bit of a spoiler, but like that every body gets their happy ending. These books kind of remind me of watching The Pirate Movie--irreverent, improbable, but so much fun. And they leave me with a warm squishy happy sort of feeling. Plus--mermaids! Fun! ( )

Bye, Fred. I'll miss you. MJD, please write another mermaid story. Thanks. ( )

I loved this book the best out of the series. I was extremely happy with the ending! =) ( )

Fish out of Water is the third and final book in the Fred, the mermaid series. Here we find Fred as the new spokesperson for the Undersea Folk, struggling with not only the media but all of her new house guests. But the most unexpected guest off all is Fred's dad, who had been banished from the undersea world after his youthful attempt to take over leadership. Luckily, Fred's dad agrees to help when Artur's dad realises that some of the undersea folk are disappearing off his radar but the offer ends up being not quite what everyone was expecting.

I was really looking forward to this last book and found it not as funny or interesting as I had hoped. The ending was a bit of an anticlimax and I can't say that I am 100% happy with the whole Artur-Fred-Thomas ending but still a worthy end. ( )

** spoiler alert ** I had a feeling she would end up with Thomas in the end, so I read a few spoilers and my suspicions were confirmed. Pissed, I put the book down before I was even a third of the way through it. ( )
