When the Boughs Break: 5 (Hank Mossberg, Private Ogre)

The basics of each book in this series is described elsewhere and so I am reviewing the series in whole. Each individual book gets a five.That said, I review books based on the writing, not the editing as some people do. Because of this, I will state up front that the books would not get a five if editing was factored in. A good editor is definitely needed, but I've seen worse. There were a few minor discrepancies from book to book and out of order words that slowed things a few times. From my standpoint, small things compared to the enjoyment I received from reading this treasure.Although there may be similar books out there of which I am unaware, I found this writing and storyline to be unique and refreshing. The main characters, strange as they were, became real and cared for.This author definitely has a way with words and his own special way of using them. This book had some humor but it was not a humorous book. It was actually a very violent series. There was sex but not graphic. There was satire and innuendoes. I do not remember any foul language.The books can each be read standalone on their own merits, but I would recommend reading them in order. The last, Book 6, was the shortest but probably my favorite. It wouldn't have been if read alone because you really need tthe history to appreciate it.My main complaint with this series was the length of the books. They were way too short. In my opinion, with a little more work, this could have been made an epic in the line of an adult Harry Potter but starring Hank Mossberg and friends. Jamie Sedgwick, this writing was genius, but I don't think you realized it. Get back to work (please).

Great read. Couldn't put it down. The whole series is an interesting concept and well worth getting into.

I've read most of Jamie's books and enjoyed them all. His books are mix of a fantasy and real world all jumbled together, they give your imagination a good workout.Hank is a likeable character, I'm half way through the series and not disappointed at all

Like other books in series this one keeps you wanting to read on. The authors style maskes it easy to follow the plot and yet gives some surprises. Very easy to read.

Wow, this was a dark one, glad Sam came back to help, as the author did a great job of taking away every other supporting character, leaving Hank alone. Going to have to read the next book RIGHT NOW.
