All Jacked Up is a fast, funny read about an endearing young fellow who experiences some amusing obstacles as he tries to get his start in life. He has his own apartment and a promising new job as a newspaper reporter, but it's far from smooth sailing for hapless Jack. The scantily furnished apartment offers little privacy from invasive individuals such as parents who drop in without warning. The job comes with grueling deadlines, an intimidating boss and a psychotic co-worker.At times, I felt sympathy for Jack and other times I wanted to shake some sense into him because some of his misadventures were of his own doing. The story ends rather abruptly and on a bit of a disappointing note for poor Jack, just when it looked like he was getting a handle on things. The reader is left waiting to find out what will happen to Jack next...and looking forward to the next volume of his story.
