The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowley

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This was an OK read. I really enjoyed The Guncle and was looking forward to another adventure with Patrick, Grant, and Maisie. This felt like one idea stretched out over a couple hundred pages with similar conversations in different ways. I think this book could lose about 75-100 pages and be sharper, funnier, and warm hearts. The last 50 pages were great, but I was bored before we got there.
