Critical Reception
The Lost Train of Thought was mainly well received by reviewers.

In the end, the reviewer felt that some readers may like the book, but not many. Another review was more positive. The reviewer says the book "has it all: adventure, action, charm, humor." Although he/she liked the book, he/she felt the first two books were better.

“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
