Is "Repairman Jack" cool enough? - t4terrific - 02-06-2009
RJzo Wrote:Haha I said I'm cook with it now...just trying to say if you don't know what he's all about the name Repairman Jack doesn't give off the best impression. At least it didn't for me and for everyone I tell about him.
Oh and its pretty cool that FPW participates in the threads. You and your books are awesome! Don't know why Stephen King and Dean Koontz are better known...I really don't enjoy most of their works.
I do enjoy Koontz. I haven't read any of his books that I didn't like. None of them have been TERRIFIC either.

Good Point. King and Koontz are mining the same territory with different names and places. The repetition is making them dull. Paul is actually honing the edge on Jack's story, and I'm always enthralled and sometimes appalled. As far as Repairman Jack goes, he's hard to describe to other readers. But now that there are successful shows like Dexter or Burn Notice out there it is getting easier. Jack is still the best.

No two ways about it, Pacal. And it's so =easy= to interest souls about Paul's fiction.
See, at my place of work, we have "show and tell" every morning before the store opens. All that means is, after the manager-on-duty gives us the rah-rah-rah and tells us what we already know, each bookseller describes a book from his or her section.
I'm the Performing Arts tyrant, but when I can, I loft one of Paul's books up high. For example,
BY THE SWORD--"If you read Paul Wilson's fiction, not only will your chance of getting to Heaven improve, you will also be able to dance like James Brown."
IMPLANT--"Maybe you're like me, and eat corn flakes at midnight from the sound-hole of an Epiphone hollow body guitar. This book will make the late night treat even tastier."
And that's the way to do it! Right?
Right?
