The story of Jack is written with great insight into the
psychological workings of a young man’s mind, and as the reader follows
his moods, and sometimes quite violent behaviour, one cannot help but
feel a growing empathy for this confused and angry young man. With
very authentic character portrayal this novel holds the interest and
compels one to keep turning the pages until the end. When the
protagonist falls deeply in love the question arises as to whether the
added emotional involvement will
serve to stabilize him or merely cause him to finally go over
the edge.
Thought-provoking; containing romance, mental illness, and
adventure, it is cleverly compiled to hold the interest throughout and
has the added bonus of some excellent descriptive passages. It is
informative and daring, written with the modern reader in mind, and
whilst of great appeal to the
younger element, has much to recommend it to the more
traditional reader.
This new Author is one to watch out for and follow in the future. He is currently working on his next book – a horror/thriller under the Title of “The Reaper”.
