The final book in the 'New York Times' best-selling Gwendy's Button box trilogy from Stephen King and Richard Chizmar。
When Gwendy Peterson was 12， a mysterious stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping。 It offered treats and vintage coins， but it was dangerous。 Pushing any of its seven colored buttons promised death and destruction。
Years later， the button box entered Gwendy’s life again。 A successful novelist and a rising political star， she was once again forced to deal with the temptation that box represented。
Now， evil forces seek to possess the button box and it is up to Senator Gwendy Peterson to keep it from them。 At all costs。 But where can you hide something from such powerful entities？

After thoroughly enjoying the first two installments of the Button Box trilogy， I was uncertain where Mr。 Farris would take Gwendy next。。。 needless to say the final task Gwendy faces was unlike anything I could have predicted and a wildly fun ride along the way。 A thoroughly satisfying conclusion to a wonderful tale。 Thank you NetGalleyand Gallery Books for the eGalley of this book。 Thank you Mr。 King for a wonderful journey， as ever。

A very nice and fitting conclusion to the Gwendy series of books。 In just three short and punchy books， it feels like we’ve gotten to know Gwendy more than most characters。 That’s greatly helped by the each book taking us to a different chapter in Gwendy’s life。 We knew her has a kid， an adult， and in this book now in her 60s。 Seeing so much of her life forms quite the connection with her。As with the first two books， this is a fast moving book that is always racing towards the climax。 It also so A very nice and fitting conclusion to the Gwendy series of books。 In just three short and punchy books， it feels like we’ve gotten to know Gwendy more than most characters。 That’s greatly helped by the each book taking us to a different chapter in Gwendy’s life。 We knew her has a kid， an adult， and in this book now in her 60s。 Seeing so much of her life forms quite the connection with her。As with the first two books， this is a fast moving book that is always racing towards the climax。 It also solves the problem I had with the second entry。 With that one， all the build up led to very little action in the end。 This time， the climax is much stronger and not as rushed。 The Stephen King universe mentions are a nice touch as well。 It’s also an amazingly emotional story。 If you don’t get a little choked up reading parts of it， you’re made of stronger stuff than I。 。。。more

I was able to read this third installment of Gwendy’s story before its release day and wanted to get my 3 cents （since it is a trilogy） in。 Chizmar did a VG （G being GREAT not just Good） job with Gwendy’s final story。 I was a little hesitant after the second book， but Chizmar brought back the charisma and deep s*** Gwendy always seems to get into from her first introduction in the Button Box。 In the Final Task， Chizmar again makes the reader become one with Gwendy and all of her highs and lows。 I was able to read this third installment of Gwendy’s story before its release day and wanted to get my 3 cents （since it is a trilogy） in。 Chizmar did a VG （G being GREAT not just Good） job with Gwendy’s final story。 I was a little hesitant after the second book， but Chizmar brought back the charisma and deep s*** Gwendy always seems to get into from her first introduction in the Button Box。 In the Final Task， Chizmar again makes the reader become one with Gwendy and all of her highs and lows。 Throughout the book， I also felt that need to pull that drawer for clarity and grab one of those little pieces of ecstacy （the feeling， not the drug）。 I also need to find me a Dr。 Ambrose for help。。。what was I talking about？ Oh！ and look for Adesh to have a beer with and talk about creatures。Throughout the book， Chizmar took us into the past and threw us into the future。 He is a true artist of his craft。 I know he and Uncle Stevie say you don't need to read the first two books， but I suggest you do， or you will be truly sad the journey is over。 。。。more

Gwendy's Final Task is a solid story， and a great conclusion to the series。 It more than made up for The Magic Feather， and was closer to the quality of Button Box。 Gwendy is every bit the hero she needed to be and more。 The book starts of strong and keeps on going。 The constant pull of the Button Box is strong， and Gwendy uses it to her advantage as she fights against her slipping mind。 There are other worlds than theses for sure。 The way Gwendy and Mr。 Farris deal with the button box was creat Gwendy's Final Task is a solid story， and a great conclusion to the series。 It more than made up for The Magic Feather， and was closer to the quality of Button Box。 Gwendy is every bit the hero she needed to be and more。 The book starts of strong and keeps on going。 The constant pull of the Button Box is strong， and Gwendy uses it to her advantage as she fights against her slipping mind。 There are other worlds than theses for sure。 The way Gwendy and Mr。 Farris deal with the button box was creative as hell。 In true Stephen King fashion， we get connections to other books， and places in the SK universe， which I greatly enjoy。 The ties to The Dark Tower are fantastic。 Any time I can spend a few minutes in that world， I'm happy to do so。 This constant reader loved the final book in this series。 。。。more

I received an ARC and wanted to complete my review before the book release date。 I will not post any spoilers， as we all know this is the end of Gwendys saga。 This is a must-read for this series fans and look forward to the next endeavor between Richard and Stephen。

Pretty good ending for this trilogy。 I'm one of those readers where I either love a king book or it falls a little short。 This was one where it started off so strong in my opinion and then fell a little in the second and fell a little more in the third。 I mean over all this was a decent trilogy and I do believe others will love it。 Just not the best king book I've read。 Maybe it's due to him co writing it， idk。 3。5 rounded to 4⭐ Pretty good ending for this trilogy。 I'm one of those readers where I either love a king book or it falls a little short。 This was one where it started off so strong in my opinion and then fell a little in the second and fell a little more in the third。 I mean over all this was a decent trilogy and I do believe others will love it。 Just not the best king book I've read。 Maybe it's due to him co writing it， idk。 3。5 rounded to 4⭐ 。。。more

With this third volume， the button box trilogy， which began quietly， ended in an "excessive" way， IMHO， because King armed a cannon to kill a fly and many questions remained unanswered， also because my reading of The Langoliers and The Black Tower really date back many years ago and I certainly missed something and not only in the sewers of Derry。 Other than that， this is a novel that is easy to read and that doesn't disappoint， but then again， this is Stephen King。Con questo terzo volume si con With this third volume， the button box trilogy， which began quietly， ended in an "excessive" way， IMHO， because King armed a cannon to kill a fly and many questions remained unanswered， also because my reading of The Langoliers and The Black Tower really date back many years ago and I certainly missed something and not only in the sewers of Derry。 Other than that， this is a novel that is easy to read and that doesn't disappoint， but then again， this is Stephen King。Con questo terzo volume si conclude definitivamente la trilogia della scatola dei bottoni， partita in sordina e conclusasi in modo anche "eccessivo" se vogliamo。 Secondo me l'autore ha armato un cannone per uccidere una mosca e molte domande sono rimaste senza risposta， anche perché le mie letture dei langolieri e de La torre nera risalgono veramente a molti anni fa e sicuramente mi sono persa qualcosa e non solo nelle fogne di Derry。 A parte questo una novella che si fa leggere facilmente e che comunque non dispiace， ma d'altronde questo é Stephen King， mica l'ultimo arrivato。I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review。 。。。more

Una historia que te atrapa desde el principio y simplemente no puedes parar hasta terminarlo。 La historia de Gwendy， su caja y el misterioso Sr。 Farris es increible。 Pero una cosa he de advertir， este libro se aparta de las historias a las que nos tiene acostumbrados Stepfhen King， así que no esperen historias espeluznantes ni de terror。

What a fantastic way to wrap up this series！ I’m going to be honest in saying that I was curious about how Final Task would measure up to Button Box， and I’m pleased to say that King and Chizmar saved the best for last。 It's beyond comforting how The Dark Tower was tied up nicely within these pages， too。 Final Task will be another instant recommendation to our customers at work。 Thanks so much to Edelweiss， the publisher， and authors for this eARC in exchange for an honest review！ What a fantastic way to wrap up this series！ I’m going to be honest in saying that I was curious about how Final Task would measure up to Button Box， and I’m pleased to say that King and Chizmar saved the best for last。 It's beyond comforting how The Dark Tower was tied up nicely within these pages， too。 Final Task will be another instant recommendation to our customers at work。 Thanks so much to Edelweiss， the publisher， and authors for this eARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Despite certain elements of the story feeling contrived and one major plot point in particular that essentially goes without explanation（view spoiler）[（her final solution， which hinges on what seems to be an unnecessary sacrifice） （hide spoiler）]， this final entry in the Gwendy saga is entertaining， thought-provoking and ultimately satisfying as the conclusion to a story that became epic in its scope。 Sharing some themes with the recent King novella Elevation， the third Gwendy is less horror/thr Despite certain elements of the story feeling contrived and one major plot point in particular that essentially goes without explanation（view spoiler）[（her final solution， which hinges on what seems to be an unnecessary sacrifice） （hide spoiler）]， this final entry in the Gwendy saga is entertaining， thought-provoking and ultimately satisfying as the conclusion to a story that became epic in its scope。 Sharing some themes with the recent King novella Elevation， the third Gwendy is less horror/thriller than supernatural adventure。 The primary source of dread in this story is derived from the protagonist's degenerative cognitive condition， which the authors brilliantly enhance with an unconventional and dangerous setting。 Attempting to put Gwendy in context with the Dark Tower and other references to the King universe may have been ill-advised， but in general， fans of the first two books will be glad they stuck around for the conclusion。Thanks to Cemetery Dance Publications and NetGalley for the ARC。 。。。more

A conclusion to Gwendy’s journey with the Button Box。 At time contrived and a bit of a reach， it was still good to visit Gwendy again and to brush up against to story of the Tower and those who want to tear it down。 There ARE other worlds than these。

This is a fitting end to a terrific series。 In this third story， Gwendy is thinking about running for the U。S。 Senate when Richard Farris shows up yet again to ask for her help with the very dangerous button box。 He wants the box destroyed， but the shocking way he wants it destroyed requires a great deal of time and effort from Gwendy。 Stephen King fans will notice some clever references from King's literary world， which makes sense since he is a co-author。 I enjoyed this series very much。 I may This is a fitting end to a terrific series。 In this third story， Gwendy is thinking about running for the U。S。 Senate when Richard Farris shows up yet again to ask for her help with the very dangerous button box。 He wants the box destroyed， but the shocking way he wants it destroyed requires a great deal of time and effort from Gwendy。 Stephen King fans will notice some clever references from King's literary world， which makes sense since he is a co-author。 I enjoyed this series very much。 I may go back and re-read the trilogy now that I can read them together。 I have often wondered what I would do if I owned the button box。 I can only hope I would behave as selflessly and bravely as Gwendy does。 Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books for providing an ARC。 。。。more

Wow！ Stephen King and Richard Chizmar are at it again！ As is Gwendy！ Another bold and daring tale featuring this strong heroine。 Can Gwendy save the human race and the world as we know it？ Written with wit， this novel keeps you hooked the whole way through。 Written only as King does…it is both thought-provoking & entertaining。
