If there is one thing Bart Hopkins does well as an author,
it is making his characters relatable. Everyone can find a little bit of
themselves in his books, and because of that, they pull you in and allow you to
lose yourself in his fictional world for a few hours.
Texas Jack is no different.
Very simply, Texas Jack is about… well… a man named Jack
from Texas.
Obviously, though, Jack is much deeper than that. Growing up
with an alcoholic father isn’t easy on a kid, but he gets through it.
He grows up and has a son of his own and seems to have his
life put together.
That is until that one tragic day..
His son’s life is as risk and no one knows if he will live.
It is emotional, and Bart expresses this emotion by having
Jack flash back to earlier parts in his life. It happens throughout the whole
book, but now these flashbacks are focused on his father and how his father was
with him while he was growing up.
Texas Jack carries a lot of emotion, but it is always very
fun.
Bart has a great writing style that keeps you captivated
from the front cover until the very last page.
The character development is wonderful, the character arcs
created through present time events and Jack’s flashbacks to earlier times in
his life.
5/5 the story is great. The characters are great. The
writing is great. Pick it up!
