Review: Poole Sums It All Up Nicely!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Well, I finally managed to finish The Bakkian Chronicles Trilogy. I can see elements of maturity developing in Poole's writing in this third book. Yes, there are certain areas that IT hope he will move away from in his future tales, but they are fairly minor when th over all storyline is one the Reader can really care about. I would have to say the 'playful bantering' of Steve and Sarah stands out in contrast to the serious nature of what is taking place is one of the most obvious issues here. They behave with too much immaturity for the elements in the story as I view them. Still, the scene in which the wrong person is 'kidnapped' is SO funny that I nearly couldn't see the pages for laughing so hard! That part of the book was truly hilarious! Overall, if you have read the first two books in the trilogy, DO read this book. I enjoyed it, cared about some of the characters, and just wish some of them were "fleshed out" a bit more for my tastes. But I am glad that I chose to read the books, and yes, I would, and will, read more of the works of Jeffery Poole. I say get the trilogy, read it, enjoy it, and look for more of his books as he produces them. I don't believe you'll regret it. I surely don't! :)
