- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5For some reason I found the conclusion to this trilogy underwhelming and a little confused.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cadel is finally free, or so he thought. He is attacked by Sonjas wheel chair and a bus runs into his house. He knows theres only one person who could do this and thats Prosper. He now trys to stop him but the government doesnt want him to help. It takes a Genius though to get a genius. Cadel Goes on a epic quest to take down prosper english.This book was decintly good . I thought it left off as a cliff hanger and that wasnt very nice of the auther. I thought it was O.K but would only read it in my past time.,
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Although Cadel has established himself in his new life and has detached himself from Prosper English, he still is not safe. As one person after another is injured, Cadel realizes he will never be free of Prosper until he seeks Prosper out and defeats him. Cadel's insistence that he is the only one who can find Prosper becomes rather tedious, and the ending of this book is somewhat unsatisfying. It's not clear from the closing sequence of the book whether this is the last episode or if there will be a sequel. Either way, the close of the book is somewhat anticlimactic and leaves the reader less inclined to want to read any sequel that may be forthcoming.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Maybe the first 2 books in this series are better? It was a slog to finish, wading through the low tech disguises, and the high tech sleuthing and dodging.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Genius Wars continues the story of Cadel Greeniaus, as he is now known since being adopted by Saul and Fiona Greeniaus. Cadel is now attending classes at a real university, along with his friends Sonja and Hamish. He firmly believes that if he minds his own business, Prosper English will leave him alone. Unfortunately, bad things begin to happen anyway, starting with a hacking of Sonja's wheelchair system that leaves her in the hospital. Cadel is forced to take a break from college and once again face the idea that Prosper has it in for him.I thought that this book was alright. Maybe not quite as good as Genius Squad. I thought Cadel's internal conflict might have been portrayed better. Much of the plot was interesting, however, especially that having to do with computers, as in the last book.I did not expect the book to end the way that it did. I'm not sure if this book is meant to be the last in the series or not. I think that the way it ends makes a fairly poor ending for a series, but I'm also not sure where the story could go from that point if there is another book in the works.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Narrated by Justine Eyre. Cadel suspects his former mentor Prosper English is trying to kill him after his friends become victims of suspicious accidents. Cadel uses his high-tech talents to evade Prosper's eye while he tries to track him down. This was my introduction to the series (this is book 3) so it took some time to catch up and understand what was going on. Eyre's narration hints at the stealth of high-tech genius but she also reads in a croaky voice that made me wish she would clear her throat. Still, this high-tech adventure has appeal for action-oriented readers and ends on a cliff-hanger that promises more ingenuity to come.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very fitting end to 'The Genius' trilogy.It's novel and fun to have a city or town that's a character in the story.Cadel has finally found a place where he belonged and a place to call home, and he's prepared to fight for it.
