Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Nice job of tying up loose ends! By the end, all the mysteries are resolved.
Con: Alexander repeats himself a whole lot, which makes him seem a little unnatural.
Maria is angry all the time. It’s hard to like either of them very much, and this deprives the ending of emotional punch.
