The book could benefit from a round or two of editing. Jack’s journey takes him through rough parts, but always with a thick veneer of dark humor. It’s easily accessible and surprisingly addicting. The prose is fairly simple, but that works for this story. Jack however features some interesting character development as he deals with a traumatic car crash, a childhood pet mystery, and his increasing desire to find love. The titular freaks Jack meets are somewhat flat characters, mainly due to their flaws and eccentricities highlighted for dramatic effect. This lends the story the feel of a cautionary tale hidden within Jack’s simple quest for money and respect. However, the vulgarity tends more toward the humorous side. Jans writes with an unabashedly vulgar tone, perfectly appropriate to Jack’s character. Will Jack find his bliss and more importantly, his desired millions?įREAKS I’VE MET is a dramatic tale following a man-child to maturity, but it does so with aplomb.
As things begin to look up, life once again crashes back down on him. That is until he discovers the morally suspect world of bond brokers. Dead end job after dead end job stack up behind him, eccentric characters, and a dwindling money supply drive Jack toward desperation. Jack heads to the fame-inundated Southern California to carve himself a piece of the pie. Freshly graduated, Jack Fitzpatrick grabs his last paycheck and loads up his car. The place, at least for the moment, is Spokane, Washington.
