Two Old Men and a Baby: Or, How Hendrik and Evert Get Themselves Into a Jam by Hendrik Groen
1.0
Nooooo!!!
After enjoying the first two Hendrik Groen books a lot, 3.5-4 stars each probably, I dove into this one expecting the same heart and that the others possess. For anyone that picks this book up first of the trilogy, I fear it would ruin the want to read the others. It lacked the commentary and insights of Hendrik, which were one of the most charming parts of the other book. The plot was actually horrendous with monstrous themes, the characters are dull caricatures, and the ending is very unsatisfying.
