Sure, Jack wants to kill all humans...but that's only one part of him.This follow up to Claus: Legend of the Fat Man, is set hundreds of years past the events that first introduced us to Jack and Claus.  This one is set in current times and I enjoyed the book even more because of that aspect.As the title suggests, it deals strictly with Jack and his current exploits, but it also gives us some more back story on Jack and Claus.  I'm going to give spoilers away here, but a plan Jack set in motion hundreds of years ago is carried out to fruition in this story.The character of Jack is just really well written. His early interactions with humans beings (when he is covered with green "hair") is incredibly captivating.  Some of the more rude and simply oblivious things Jack says to the people trying to help him had me laughing my head off.  Jack knows how to be snarky, even if he might not understand that he is being snarky.I think that's why i like the character so much.  He was bullied for a long time for being different and then went a little crazy (okay, a lot crazy) but he still has shades of "good" inside him.  Even at the end, he still liked Willie.I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us in the third installment.This series is incredibly unique and very refreshing.  I highly recommend it.
