Maneater marks the spectacular debut of Jack Warner. Totally absorbing, it is a thriller of verve, accomplishment, tension, and imaginative power. Grady Brickhouse, sheriff of Harte County, Georgia, is good at his job: keeping the peace in a sleepy corner of the huge forested wilderness at the southern tip of the Appalachian Trail. Soon he is pitted against an unlikely but fearsome opponent-a full-grown Bengal tiger that has somehow found its way into his jurisdiction. As the death toll rises every day and the media and the politicians are clamoring for something to be done Brickhouse needs to find answers, and soon.

Do yourself a favor!,
By Reader/author (LA, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maneater (Paperback)
How this novel escaped wider attention is simply beyond me. Jack Warner delivers a brilliant book based on what should have been a campy premise: Huge Bengal tiger escapes from a circus train that is travelling through the southern US, and begins a killing spree. A friend told me about the hardcover from Tor, and I took a chance and picked it up. In a word, brilliant. The characters are fleshed out and deftly drawn, the suspense effective, and the prose both lean and literate. Do yourself a favor and check this one out. Now.

This review is from: Maneater (Paperback)
I read every day and this is one of the best books I have ever read and I have read a lot of books over the last 40 years. My husband is reading this right now and he can hardly put it down. I love to read books by Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Lee Childs, John Sandford and many others. The characters in this book come alive, I laughed, cried, and was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book. I hope Jack Warner is writing more books because he is on my list as "must have more of his books".

Suspensful,
This review is from: Maneater (Paperback)
Truly after reading the reviews written by previous readers about this book, i just had to read the book. I was intrigued ultimately about the premise of the story, a bengal tiger lose in north Georgia, AWESOME. Reading the first half of the story i found comparisons to that of the movie "Jaws", mystique, suspense, and great story telling both depicted by Warner and Speilber. The second half of the story then wandered a bit from the roots and went into a metaphorical shift to ones manhood. But i do truly wish many to read this story which i couldnt put down!!! Also Jim Grahams character in this story is truly charasmatic and geniune!! READ IT
