Book Reviews of The Tomb (Adversary Cycle/Repairman Jack)
Book Review: Jack, my hero!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first chanced upon the author's Legacies when I was browsing through CNN's website and thought that it sounded like an interesting book. Knowing that Legacies is the second book about Repairman Jack, I decided to give The Tomb a try first. Upon reading the book, I thank my lucky stars that I have come across the book. I was intruiged from the first page and was not able to put down the book. A thriller-mystery-horror with subtle hints of romance, the book tells of how Repairman Jack goes about, in his own way, solves the mystery of the missing necklace and embarks on a dangerous rescue misson. He brushes aside obstacles and faces dangers that come his way. Despite his cool exterior, his good intentions and commitment to girlfriend Gia and her daughter makes him a thouroughly believable character. Jack, you have become my hero!Book Review: Excellent Introduction to Jack the Repairman
Summary: 5 Stars
In The Tomb we are introduced to 'Jack the Repairman' and his fantastic yet believable character. Fans of Jack should definitely check out NightWorld and Legacies. F. Paul Wilson fans know that the tomb, the keep, the touch, and night world were originally intended by Mr. Wilson to be one book but was split by his publisher.Book Review: Possibly the scariest horror novel ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this novel years ago after being very impressed with The Keep. The author surpassed The Keep in all phases of storytelling and horror. After moving, to my dismay, I lost the book. So glad it is back in print. Send me one today, I'll guard it with my life. The best book I have ever read.Book Review: Gripping. Multiple story lines. Can not put it down.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read and re-read The Tomb at least 10 times from cover to cover. I have a tendancy to want to totally consume and enjoy books as well written as Wilson's The Tomb. I look forward to a movie release but hope that the story can be preserved reasonably intact (the movie version of The Keep was a disappointment). Repairman Jack, the hero, has all the makings of a serialized hero (a la Bond) but Wilson's treatment of Repairman Jack in subsequent writings were a little disappointing (Wimpman Jack). In any case, judging The Tomb on its own merits: It is superbly written, great story line, very graphic - you can "see" the action almost as if it was on the screen. Recommended highly.Book Review: A great horror thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
THE TOMB is one of my all-time favorite novels. I'm so glad it's back in print. It stars one of my favorite characters, Repairman Jack, along with one of the most interesting villains you'll ever want to meet. This novel is creepy and loaded with full-tilt boogie action as well. I hear Repairman Jack's coming back in a new novel. About time! I can't wait.
