'50sVille: Vol. 5
Welcome to ‘50sVille: The town you will absolutely love, or else…
Imagine a town where the people perpetually live in the 1950s, a place where time has all but stopped and where everyone loves his family, job, and life. In this strange place, only a select few people ever leave the city limits and even then, they leave reluctantly.
This is what fifteen and a half year old Benjamin Granault faces as, through a string of amazing events, he finds himself living in a town where he can never talk about modern technology or current events, a place where being an outsider can cost a person his life and being part of the community may very well cost more.
Follow the adventures of Benjamin Granault in ‘50sVille, the strangest town Indiana has ever been unaware of.

Of the books this is the saddest and but there was some good for the people of the community due to Ben actions. He may have gotten back family's money and business but he lost the Good family that he loved and who loved him and some friends the Purple Dragons who moved aways but the main lost was the feelings he liked about living in the 50's and most likely that was gone for good. Cathy and the group did go and stay with him for awhile but decided they wanted to go back home they were not really ready for this new world.
The feeling I got from this last dook was sadness he may have killed the beast but was it worth destroying everyone lives my thoughts was it was not. Yes the feeding and killings were wrong and needed to ended plus the mayor, school principal and many other items needed to be dealt with and I believe they could have been handle in a different way.

Ok, so I have to be honest. I totally tried this series hoping it would be similar to Fallout, being that the 50s theme is so prevalent. It wasn't at all what I expected, but in spite of this I loved it. The author does an amazing job of placing the reader in 50sville, so much so that I didn't want this series to end. I'm thrilled of how it ended, though, because all of my questions and loose ends were tied up.
The audio quality of the entire series was great. I don't understand why there were five different narrators, but each did this series justice.
I received this audiobook from the narrator/author/publisher in exchange for an honest review via Audiobook Boom.

I've reviewed Book 5 as I've read them all in sequence and one after the other, so this is a review for the whole 1-5 series. Unusual premise; a cross between Back to the Future and Star Wars. Believable characters and lots of cliff hangers. My only complaint and its a tiny one is the silly typos of which there were quite a few.

Now that Ben understands his role and his purpose he discovers that there are others who are equally unhappy / horrified with life in the 'perfect town' and the totalitarian power wielded by the few. They, along with an outsider plot to take down the Source and free their fellow citizens.

Audible:This series was really fun! 50sville comes crashing down when the tides turn on the 'source'.Tom Kruse was a very good narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.'

What an ending!! Sad to see it end. But, it worked so well with the story. And, no thanks to living in the 50’s.

My fifth read from Dr. Paul Ibbetson and the final book in the ‘50s ville quintet. Another enjoyable short read in the serial that has captivated my attention. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Reminiscent of the early writings of Stephen King. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
