Members Reviews:

Tic, Tic, Boom!

Jeffrey Walls is just an ordinary guy trying to make a living. He wakes up each morning to two guys who are constantly pulling some kind of prank that involves his new car and at work he is the low man on the totem pole.

This all changes one day when he hears a "ticking" and becomes someone totally different, someone who begins to stand up for himself.

At 52 pages, Boom, is a quick read but one that grabs you around the throat and doesn't let up until the very last page.

I look forward to more from Michael Whetzel and hopefully a little more from Jeffrey Walls as well.

pretty good

This is a pretty interesting piece. A fellow disenchanted with his life. He is aggravated and sleep deprived. He has an incessant ticking in his head, along with a number of people who incessantly pick at him.

This tale is a couple days snapsshot in his life. The story has some fine work in it and lends itself to a number of possibilities for future works. He could become what he states he wants to be at finale (with new book focusing on scenarios related) or his next tale could be the trip out west and the events that transpire getting there (in same vein of his final wish, or perhaps more bad acts occurring TO him, driving him to become something else - good or bad). The writer has a couple of gem lines that show he has potential. The story needs a better editor than one that went over it. Or, at least a relook. There are a number of grammar and punctuation errors. There is an inconsistency as well: it flips between (his degree) architect and engineer. At one point the MC states it is architect when asked if (or stated by someone) engineer - then when relating the scene about his paernts it is written engineer. I believe this error occurs twice.

I would read another work by this author. A longer one though.

Live vicariously through this book

I read it in one sitting, and now I want to be Jeffery Walls. He stands up for himself and takes control of his life; we all want to do this and it is what makes this a fun read. Mr. Whetzel has been doing a great job at creating characters whom with the reader can easily empathize.

Short But Sweet

A quick read, as are most of Whetzel' s, but satisfying never the less. This is a story I think most of us can relate too. I think the central theme focuses on how we often witness and/or experience little injustices in the world and wish there was something we could do about it. This story let's you live vicariously through the main character and dole out your own brand of justice.
