This is it! All your questions are answered in this final book in the Laptop series. It’s sad to see this one end, but won’t you be glad to finally know whether Matt and his friends can make it through this in one piece?
Secrets
- Gotta love Gill’s surprise to the bad guys with HamsterDance!
- Originally, I wrote this book with everything in chapter one dispersed throughout the chapters as flashbacks. But it was too confusing, so we put them at the front instead.
- Gill’s idea with Hershey’s cocoa mix really works.
- Well, OK, so this is the end…or is it?

Man I must admit that the Laptops Series has been a great one for me. I LOVE THEM!!! It’s so good.
I learned a lot about God, and the Truth and these books have touched me in a way no other book could have even come close to accomplishing. And I think the Laptop Series–Shut Down–is a great example of what a true writer can accomplish.
Truthfully, I HATE endings of such great books like these. I feel like I could go on and on and read FOREVER!!!
I personally love God, and one way to express that, is to share these books with my fellow colleagues and friends. I would HUGELY like to commend Christopher for his AWESOME writing and the time he’s taken to write these books. I’ve practically read every single book that he’s written.
Christopher has this kind of “hook” that get’s EVERYONE’S attention, and especially mine. It keeps the pages turning one after another, and before you know it, you’ve already finished a book! I can go on and on, but to keep it simple, Chris’ AWESOME!!!!!!!

We had so much fun reading the series and it is sad that it has to end now! If you want more work to do, start a post-laptop series.
This time, Sam has to explain everything. How did she get the scar? Who really are the bad guys? Why did she create the laptop in the first place? etc… etc… And most importantly, does she still think the QoolQuad looks like Twinkies?
Awesome books! I can’t wait to read more!– Allison, age 13, Iowa
