3.65 AVERAGE


This book doesn't live up to the first two in the series. The first third of the book is vintage Blackston, but the latter two-thirds drifts and is mostly predictable. Overall, though, I enjoyed the trilogy.

Lost in Rooville has gotten a lot of mediocre reviews, and I think that's because you miss the humor if you are just reading it. We listened to it on audio and the humor shines through. This is the third book of the trilogy, it can stand alone, but it is best to read the first two books to understand all the character's backstories.

I loved Lost in Rooville, and my family really enjoyed it as well. We listened to it in one day on our road trip (it was great company and made the trip more enjoyable!). The characters are quirky, imperfect, and relatable. While this book is quite humorous, it had several serious and heart-warming scenes that were lacking in the previous two books. Therefore, it had a bit of a different feel but was still quite enjoyable.

I hate that this series ended because it left me wanting more. If you decide to read this series, I highly recommend listening to them on audio. Andrew Peterson narrates all three books and he is fabulous!
