It would have been nice to see him get a nod, especially towards the ending. Also, to my generation, Walker Boh was everyone's favorite character.We don't get to see Shady Vale, again, which would have been nice.I think there are a few missed opportunities within the "Fall" sequence, besides the, overall, rather mediocre story, but those nitpicks are only minor: In terms of series nostalgia, he pushes all the buttons, and the ending, which I guess most people will care for, is pretty masterfully told. He obviously couldn't compensate for the weaknesses of the earlier entries in the sequence, and the plot remains quite forgettable - but he rounds up the story well towards the ending. But to his credit, Brooks gets back to form in this last book. My hopes were not high because I didn't like the earlier installments of "Fall" - too repetitive of stuff we had already seen, too slow in their pacing, too reminiscent (perhaps intentionally so) of Fred Saberhagen. Posted something in the "Gosebumps" thread, already.
