The Last Days of Jack Sparks was a wild ride, I had zero fucking idea what was happening and I still don’t know after finishing it. From the get go we know that this book is published after Jack dies, so my curiosity was peaked pretty early on. Why is he dead? What lead up to this point? I would say I wasn’t disappointed but I hardly understood what the fuck was happening.

Jack Sparks is the most egotistical, annoying and frankly unlikeable protagonist I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading about. I really could not stomach him at any point and I didn’t even feel bad for him when he kicked the bucket.

The main reason I’m rating this 3 stars is for the supernatural elements along with Jack being an unreliable narrator.

I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5 first off. It started off really well and genuinely gave me chills at some points. I liked the characters and premise of the book and the writing styles. The character of Jack Sparks did annoy me at times though in relation to the believing in ghosts and the supernatural elements. It drifted for me slightly and took turns I wasn't expecting when reading the middle to end of the book but the end was great and picked up again! I enjoyed this book and look forward to seeing what Jason Arnopp is up to now.
