One of the best ways to spend your time during a pandemic is with Repairman Jack. I figure if he can't fix the problem, he can certainly take my mind off of it. Legacies is the second book I've read in the Repairman Jack series and I was not disappointed. As a matter of fact, I plan to buy all of the books in order and savor each one. To encourage others to read these books, I've decided to review each one and give a top 10 list for reasons to read the series and each book in the series.
Top 10 reasons to read the Repairman Jack Series in order
10. Jack seriously reminds me of Dean from Supernatural. He's a resourceful guy with heart. I'd follow him anywhere.
9. It doesn't matter what genre your into, you'll find it with Jack. He explores conspiracy thriller, paranormal mysteries, medical mysteries - you name it, Jack has fixed it.
8. Dialogue is real and funny with spot on allusions I get.
7. Jack's movie collection steals my heart.
6. Jack has a darkness and he gets scared sometimes. Even though everyone loves Superman, its Batman they find the most interesting. A hero should be flawed for me to follow.
5. F. Paul Wilson gets to the point and doesn't load the reader down in exposition.
4. Plots work weaving details from page one to the last page, so that every question is answered in the end. Yes, there is a semi-certain formula, but like a well-shuffled deck of cards, every game explores chance endings.
3. Love the mystery! I would even compare these to Agatha Christie.
2. Stephen King is the president of the Repairman Jack fan club.
1. The books always fight injustice. In the first book it was Jack's revenge for what happened to a loved one. In the second book it was the injustice of children born with AIDS, and other stuff, but I won't spoil that mystery.
Top 10 reasons to read Legacies with spicy glimpses under the cover - that don't spoil.
10. Santa saves the day.
9. Female power.
8. Questions paranoid Jack.
7. Jack fixes several problems.
6. Jack gets the girl.
5. Complicated interesting villains.
4. Different viewpoints.
3. Jack's claustrophobia.
2. Someone with an S in their name dies.
1. Where Jack spends Christmas.
Go out and buy these now. They leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling that all is now right with the world. I wish Netflix would pick this series up. They would have some serious viewers. I can see Jack Reynor playing Jack.
We all have places to be, jobs to do, but sometimes we find a book that spreads fire across our numb flesh. I review books with the fire to make me give up my black coffee in the morning for a cup of stinking veggie juice—something that makes me think outside my coffee cup. When I'm not reading, I'm painting and writing some words myself.
