Book Reviews of The Haunted Air : Repairman Jack (Repairman Jack) (Repairman Jack)
Book Review: Missed Jack for a long time and now he is back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an old F. Paul Wilson fan from way back, and I remember reading the first Repairman Jack novel. Somehow in 20 years, I missed that there are five new ones! How could i have done that? I happened to see this while browsing the bookstore, and snatched right away, hoping what got me 20 years ago was still there. Wow! Even better than I expected. I am now shopping for the rest of the series. Jack is back!Book Review: You gotta love Jack
Summary: 4 Stars
F. Paul Wilson sure has a gem of a character in Repairman Jack. He is a tough, no-nonsense guy who is prone to beat the (expletive) out of people who deserve it and he also has a heart. A nice guy vigilante. Doesn't sound possible but Wilson makes it work and every page makes the reader even more interested in what happens next. I also like how he sometimes incorporates a bit of the supernatural in his stories. Sometimes a lot more than a bit. There is an underlying evil that I think will tie all of the novels together, the Adversary or the Otherness and Jack is supposed to be one of the people who stop it (all in later books I assume). In this one he has his hands full with other things though.
My only gripe (and it is a small one) is I wish there were more vigilante type scenes with Jack handling up on regular scumbags that don't tie into the main plot somehow.
Anyways, a great read and I recommend the series to anyone who likes action/mystery/X-files/ and even a tad of romance.
Book Review: Just some clarification
Summary: 4 Stars
...However, The Tomb was updated recently with what F. Paul Wilso calls the preferred text. The Tomb now takes place in present time with the subsequent tales falling in line within months of each other.All the stories are leading to something big which has already been written, but alas, that book and all books in the already completed Adversary Cycle will have to be updated save for The Keep, because lets face it, you cant change history.
...Just don't ask who should play Jack in the upcomming movie based on The Tomb. Unless of course you enjoy wrath, then go for it.
Book Review: Tiny Tiny Print
Summary: 4 Stars
Another in the always enjoyable Repairman Jack series. If you liked the others, this one is in the same mold. But the print is very very small. I found it a great bother and I can't believe the author would settle for this.Book Review: Jack keeps getting better and better
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Repairman Jack got "resurrected" in 1998, I had no idea who he was. Now I do, and I keep waiting anxiously for each new story. "The Haunted Air" left me breathless! It's wild - funny - fantastic - gut-wrenching - exciting - and creepy! I loved it! All the characters are sharply drawn, especially the Kenton brothers. I would have liked a more detailed explanation of the "Circle", but maybe that will be forthcoming in another book. And I can't wait to see how Jack handles fatherhood, although I sure hope it won't change the tone of the Repairman Jack books.
