***** Raves for ‘You Don’t Know Jack’ “Fans of Lewis Grizzard, Art Buchwald and Mark Twain, take heart. A new star is on the horizon. Don Ross, with a stroke of h is magical pen the loosing of a highly imaginative mind, revives the laid-back homey humor that stirred so many hearts and caused so many smiles, bringing joy to the young and the young at heart alike. Ross’s hero – or perhaps anti-hero – Jackson (Jacko) Odum is one of the ‘good ole country boys’ who take live as it comes (and a few other things as well) and washes it down with something you don’t find in drug stores. Highly amusing at all times and outrageously humorous on occasion, Ross in his debut at humor has crafted a masterpiece. Whether read in the living room, bedroom or bathroom, Ross’s spoof of a novice author will keep you coming back for more.” ….Jonathan Penroc Author, War of the Gods series

About the Author I am a former broadcaster taking my first steps into the print world. For thirty of my forty plus years in journalism, I wrote feature news as a reporter at WTVD-TV in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. I had a ninety second time slot each night to present amusing off-beat stories that earned me a local reputation as a humorist and led to several AP, UPI, RTNDA and regional Emmy awards and nominations. My first attempts at humor writing were at my first real TV job at WTAJ in Altoona, Pennsylvania where I always volunteered to write a “kicker” to end the newscast on a light note. The Altoona TV job was offered after I covered news for WFBG Radio in Altoona while simultaneously obtaining a degree in International Politics from Penn State. My plans to become a foreign correspondent never panned out but I satisfy a desire for foreign travel by going abroad at least once a year. I developed an interest in world affairs and international travel during a four year stint in the Air Force where I was a deejay and news broadcaster with The American Forces Radio and Television Service in Pakistan and Italy. I qualified for AFRTS thanks to my experience deejaying and news reading and writing at my hometown radio station, WCPA, in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Retired now, I live in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina with my wife, Mary, who I met while stationed in Italy forty years ago. I have two children who live in the Charlotte-area and they have each given us two grandchildren.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. If You Want to Know Jack, Buy the Book! By Deb Reighard I loved this book on many levels. A fan of word plays, puns, and neologisms, I appreciate this witty and original book, written in the style of David Sedaris or Oscar Wilde. The protagonist, Jack Odum, recently fired from a lackluster news job, deliberately sets out to write a money-making novel. The audience participates in this process as he often addresses the publishers in his tongue-in-cheek/wink wink style. Jack reminds me somewhat of classic characters: Willy Loman, but without the depression, or Leopold Bloom, without the epic scope. Jack is complexly developed--hilarious, a bit con-artist, but layers of vulnerability shine through. MInor characters primarily are foils to advance Jack's character or the plot. He would be a great character to analyze at book clubs--but not using the flippant book club questions included which are also a nice touch! The ending (no spoiler here!) is a clever way of bringing the book full circle.

The style of humor is unique and the storyline offers many laugh out loud moments... so be careful if you're reading this book in a public place. You may get some stares for spontaneous spurts of laughter. Jack is certainly a mischievous and flawed character but he is hilarious and likable in a way that you care about the entertaining happenings in his life. The twist at the end was unexpected and pulls the story together nicely. Very well written novel, almost as if Dave Barry and Wally Lamb decided to write a book together. If you appreciate tongue-in-cheek humor, you'll enjoy Don Ross' first novel.

I really enjoyed reading this witty book By Joseph Peters My husband purchased this book and found it to be very entertaining so I decided to read it myself. I really enjoyed reading this witty book. The author has a talent for making Jack's family and acquaintances come to life right before your eyes. I found myself giggling out loud without even realizing it. I took pleasure in how Jack, an unemployed newspaper reporter who (whom) decided to write a book, used senseless, silly words he made up as he went. There were twists and surprises every step of the way. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who (whom) needs a good laugh and an easy, light hearted read. Cindy Peters
