Rating: Summary: Best Review: Hi, I am Clay Jacobsen"s daughter. He does not live in Tn any more he moved to Cammarillo,CA to direct Dr. Laura. But now is off the air. But i read his book and loved it. It is the best novel I read so is his other book "The Lasko Interview". I love his books hope he writes more!
Rating: Summary: Survey Says... Review: Jacobsen writes with a light, airy style. The scenes are short, the pace is fast, and the characters breathe just enough life into the story for you to care. I didn't care deeply about the personal aspects of the story--they, too, were somewhat fast and airy--but the theme is ably handled and vitally important. Jacobsen poses heavy questions: Can the media be trusted? Can the media be manipulated? Can a Christian or moral person have an influence working for the media? The answers are found, or at least explored, within this provocative novel. With just enough facts and figures to back his premise, Clay Jacobsen uses his years of experience in the media to hammer home a strong lesson about looking through the lies. His characters--never dumbed-down, but at times cliched--also find truth in relationships with Jesus Christ. The author avoids religious overtones and pulpit-pounding, while still making his point clear. I also appreciated that his villian was three-dimensional, that he was wicked without being predictable, he was delusional without having to rub his hands together and chuckle evilly. For a fast-paced read that drives home some deeper points, this book is well worth it.
Rating: Summary: could not put it down Review: The book was wonderful! Every paragraph made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. I kept telling myself to go to sleep after finishing a chapter, but it proved to be impossible. It makes you wonder about today's society and if the circumstances in the book could actually happen today.
Rating: Summary: Really makes you wonder Review: This was my first Clay Jacobsen book, and I'll be checking out EVERYTHING he does. A very interesting look at the polls, and just how far someone will go for a popular opinion. Hats off to anyone who dares to be like Mark Taylor. There are some issues that some people may not be comfortable with. But for those people, you have to see the whole picture, and you appreciate this book all the more. When I read about Mark trying to figure out what's just going on, the words came off the pages! Thank you, Clay! Bravo!
