Blart III

Blart #3

by Dominic Barker

Blart n'a rien d'extraordinaire. Il n'est ni beau, ni superintelligent, ni supercourageux. Il doit néanmoins sauver le monde. Rien que ça. Dans ce troisième tome, il se retrouve cette fois flanqué d'un magicien mégalomane, d'un chevalier prétentieux, d'une princesse capricieuse et d'un cheval volant. Une délicieuse parodie d'heroic fantasy.

It's that time of year again, the time where the Blart bells chime and everyone thinks about pigs...

Now that I've completed Blart, I feel as though I can say that Blart 2 is clearly Dom's finest. Blart 3 is fine, compared at least to Blart 1 which was pretty dire.

Alas, Blart 4 never came to fruition so my quest is over...and I shall never Blart again.

Childhood nostalgia doesn't always hold up

Not as good as the previous two books, but still deeply enjoyable

[Meo]

The third and (to date) final novel chronicling the adventures of the ignoble, unheroic pig-boy, Blart, who is forced to set sail on yet another quest, this time to rescue his wife, the rather horrible Princess Lois of Illyria. His adventures take in a storm, pirates, imprisonment for littering a beach (when his ship runs aground on it!) and trolls who decide to worship him. The climax of the novel subverts a well-known myth to comic effect and leaves our heroes facing certain death (of one sort or another). Probably the best of the three, with a freshness of plot and maturity to the writing which avoids some of the pitfalls observed in the earlier books. All three stories are great for able readers of ten and up, or a fun end to the day for a parent reading to littler ones.
