Darryl Terry's Reviews > The Hack

Wildly unconventional satire of the publishing world.

This is a humorous but wildly improbable story related in the first-person narrative by Max, a world famous and immensely successful author. Cursing on a continuous basis, he relates the process as to how he manages to get married but also to save his friend, Jack, who is a virtually unpublished and an obscure author. 


Max describes his wildly perambulous and erratic journey, which includes some erotic diversions with his bride to be, and a daring plan to raise the status and the credibility of his friend, as an author. The dryly humorous episodes include such things as unlikely episodes of him assuming the mantle of the president of the United States for a few hours, on social media, and crashing a helicopter into a pond whilst simultaneously occupied intimately with his wife to be.


Reading this book is rather akin to sitting and sharing a drink with the author in a rowdy pub and listening to him chatting while he sips his drink. If explicit language and erotic, but dark humor, appeals to you, then grab a drink of something strong, and relax somewhere quiet to enjoy this unusual read.
