    About this audiobook

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans, the dramatic conclusion in the riveting Broken Road trilogy—a powerful redemption story about finding happiness on a pilgrimage across iconic Route 66.

    Chicago celebrity and pitchman Charles James is supposed to be dead. Everyone believes he was killed in a fiery plane crash, a flight he narrowly missed. But thanks to that remarkable twist of fate, he’s very much alive and ready for a second chance at life and love. Escaping death has brought Charles some clarity: the money, the fame, the expensive cars; none of it brought him true joy or peace. The last time he was truly happy was when he was married to his ex-wife Monica, before their relationship was destroyed by his ambition and greed.

    In this final installment of the exciting and provocative series that began with The Broken Road and The Forgotten Road, Charles is still on his pilgrimage across the iconic Route 66. He intends to finish his trek from Amarillo to Santa Monica, despite learning that his ex-wife is now planning to marry another man. With the initial reason for his trip in jeopardy, he still has lessons to learn along the way before he discovers—and arrives at—his true destination.

      This is my second time listening to this trilogy. It astounds me how involved I am with whole story. I feel like I actually was making the trip alongside of Charles, meeting the people, walking where he walked, seeing what he saw. Richard Evans is a wonderful, wonderful author!
    • 1/5
      Take a look at the cover. Nice picture. A two lane road in the west. A suggestion of desert, mountains in the distance. Nice title – who isn’t attracted by “road” and “home”, particularly when they are linked together. But the real bait here is that route number painted on the road and prominently displayed in the lower right corner. Rte. 66….and all it implies, nostalgia, revisiting the past. Would seem to be a great setup for the perfect road novel.

      Check the brief plot summary on the Amazon page. “Fiery plane crash”, “second chance at life and love”. Charles James is mentioned three times at least, seemingly, the protagonist, our hero. But he’s really not the main guy.

      No, the main character is God. This is a God book, but you wouldn’t know that unless you were familiar with the author, and perhaps had read the first two books in the trilogy. I got through the first half and found it too “goody two shoes” for my taste. Big scenes involve taking care of the homeless, including many of the twelve steps involved in making batches of pancakes. Another big chunk dealt with listening to a couple that Charles has recently met, as they detail their past marriage woes to this total stranger and everything turned around because of His help. Are you kidding me ? When I want to read a book about theology, my religion, etc., I want something with a lot more depth than this.

      As for Rte 66., the author pays it some lip service but this reader found it rather dull in its descriptions of America’s most iconic highway. Obviously, there is a market for this kind of stuff – it doesn’t include me, and maybe not you. So I can only suggest if you are considering it, read a good chunk of it before investing your precious time.
