About this listen

Alcatraz Smedry is up against a whole army of Evil Librarians with only his friend Bastille, a few pairs of glasses, and an unlimited supply of exploding teddy bears to help him. This time, even Alcatraz’s extraordinary talent for breaking things may not be enough to defeat the army of Evil Librarians and their giant librarian robots.

Critic reviews

“As goofy randomness streamlines into compelling narration, even readers who don't find giant robots reason alone to pick up a book will be drawn into Alcatraz’s cohesive world, with its unique form of magic.”—Horn Book

Can't wait until the final part

This was a far more engaging book than the prior one. There were some jokes which dragged out a bit but over all this is another solid entry to this series. I'm more than a little curious to experience the conclusion!

Epic & Gets to the Heart of the Main Storyline

This time we're really going into the center of the action and the fight between the two sides. This time it seemed central to the main storyline & feels epic. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Narration was excellent as usual. I didn't want the book to end.

Great for Kids

The kids liked this book and are really getting into the story. Pretty painless for the adults. A little quirky. It's definitely a different style for Brandon Sanderson. I still think the side commentary is weird, but the kids don't. On to book 3.

more fun with alcatraz

Any additional comments?

Now that I understand more of how the books are going I enjoyed this more, plus my grandkids and I had a lot of fun conversations about it, which made it so much fun. It moved along well, kept me interested, humor was fun and creative, lots of teasers about what is coming, good fun listen

I bought the book for my son, but I got sucked in

Alcatraz tells us he is going to lie and then I believe what he says anyways. He tries to convince me how terrible he truly is, but I still cheer him on. His relatives are wonderfully zany. I love all the asides and odd chapters the author throws in and the ending pages. Sanderson knows his audience. I read his Mistborn books first and knew my son would enjoy listening to these books. I am chuckling right along with him.
I'm off to buy the next book in this "trilogy" that is going on five books now, not that I am complaining. I will happily buy as many Alcatraz books as Sanderson is willing to write. They are that enjoyable.
