Yes, there are a few weird continuity issues in this finale, but overall it lives up to the rest of the series.

A seriously unhinged super-villian hides her physical attractiveness behind a skull mask, while toting around a scarecrow boyfriend.

A broken-hearted former secret agent nurses his broken heart by trying to play the oboe (you have to admit, it's just a ridiculous instrument) and writing bad country-western songs.

When the NERDS are forced to evacuate their secret laboratory under the middle school, their new headquarters is in "Marty Mozzarella's" -- not-so-loosely based on Chuck E. Cheese's.

Ruby Peet -- my least favorite NERD in previous books -- is the focus, with some hilarious conflict between her mom's Jewish Long Island family and her dad's Boston Irish clan.

The top-secret dossiers of former NERDS are also highly entertaining.
