I struggled to see where I would land. Is it a 3 or a 4? In the end, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. So I'm settling on a 4.

John is at a crossroads in life. Trying to figure out what's important to him, what he needs, what he wants to do. So many questions surround him, and as crazy as it sounds, he needs to finally make some big decisions. I know some people find this as filler, I found it as soul seeking, and to me that's the most interesting arc for a lot of characters.

Sure there's some dull chapters here and there, and I thought the ending could have went full on horror and gave us a shocking moment that I thought was building. Dan knows full well how to do that, and in the end of the last trilogy he did just that. So was surprised it felt like a little cop out here.

But the ending is still heartbreaking, and now I'm interested to see John as a man who must make up his mind on what he wants to do HIMSELF instead of blaming or using others as crutches.
