Although not much into reading novels or thrillers, I ran across this book by Jack Vander Beek while searching for a gift for my wife. I actually did get this book for my wife, but ended up reading the whole thing before she ever new I got it for her... Lol :) Anyway, I was checking it out and got really drawn in by the way Jack wrote this. It's done in POV or First Person which is a totally new way for me to experience this type of book. I was totally engrossed before I even knew it!The lead character Tom is a total social train wreck by most peoples standard of "normal" I believe. This book is written in a way that makes Tom come off in an almost simple-minded way. Perhaps like a child would sound if you could hear thier thoughts. Anyway, the author seems to pull off this jaunt through Tom's troubled, anxiety filled social life in a very believable way. There are nice twists and turns in the story so you really don't know what to expect on the next page. Well done!All-in-all I would say this is a really good book even for those like myself that don't usually read for the joy of the story. I read another review and found out this is the first book written by this author. Mad props to Jack! This story line is comparable to what I might expect to find in a good movie on one of the TV networks. Who knows? Maybe Jack can get this one to the big, little screen yet. Anyway, good story! Thanks Jack!
