Book Reviews of The Haunted Air : Repairman Jack (Repairman Jack) (Repairman Jack)
Book Review: Jack's Shining Moment
Summary: 5 Stars
The reference to The Shining in the headline is no accident. This book is Wilson's haunted house novel, much like The Shining was Stephen King's haunted novel. Both books have a Jack in them, child ghosts, and of course, a haunted abode. Both novels are also suspenseful and riveting.
Long time readers of Wilson's series will devour this book, but first-timers can pick it up and enjoy the story as a self-contained single entity.
A very impressive work by F. Paul Wilson.
Book Review: Jack is back on track with this instalment
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit I stalled with the Repairman Jack series after HOSTS. However, it is back on track with HAUNTED AIR. When Jack is asked by a couple of fake Mediums to deal with a rival who is trashing their business he expects it to be an ordinary fix-it. Things become messy when he gets another seemingly unrelated job and a real ghost moves into the Medium's house.
This is an enjoyable read with no real slow spots. Jack has obviously been affected by the events in HOSTS but the fix-it is both interesting and still has its funny moments. I'm looking forward to picking up the next book in this series again.
Book Review: THE HAUNTED AIR is another great Repairman Jack Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not miss any of the Repairman Jack books - every book will keep you turning the page to see how Repairman Jack wins each mission he take on. If you like Jack Bower in "24" you will love Repairman Jack.Book Review: Best of repairman Jack
Summary: 5 Stars
I fully understand why there is a discomforture with the evolution of Jack from a force for mindless vengence, to a fully fleshed out character confronting choices and responsibilities, I am happy to see this character involved in a mature relationship and friendships that defy convention.More than just a vigalante!
Book Review: 3 1/2 Stars -- A Good Book But Pretty Predictable!
Summary: 3 Stars
While I enjoyed The Haunted Air (as I have most of Wilson's books), it is far from the best in the series and nowhere near as good as The Tomb. Perhaps after reading so many superlative reader reviews here, I was expecting much more than what I got. The Haunted Air is a fast-paced, entertaining book that is a good choice as a beach read or long plane trip, and Repairman Jack is - well - just Jack. Enough said about that. However, most of the other characters are thinly developed and the plot lacks the level of excitement, surprises and suspense that I've come to expect from this series, and particularly from these reviews. All in all, if you don't go into reading this book with very high expectations, as I did, and can be satisified with an entertaining story, I think you'll enjoy it.
