Obtain Fools Ride (Jenkins Cycle, #2) Authored By John L. Monk Mobi

enjoyed the first book in this series so much, I immediately bought this one, No regrets! It didn't have quite the punch of the first book, but it did expand on Dan's background, his family, and tantalizing hints about what his existence is.


I still want to know more about why he was chosen to keep coming back, and what's the real reason for his body hopping.


I'm getting more into the episodic nature of each book, Each person he jumps into has a unique identity and problem for Dan to work out.
No two hops are the same,

I can't say it's a "fun" ride because most of the people Dan deals with are horrible scumbags, but this series is certainly entertaining.
I have the next book already! Author John Monk continues his sharply written tale of Dan Jenkins, a man doomed to float around in the nothingness of eternity as a consequence of his selfish suicide.
But here's the catchevery now and then Dan gets a "door" into another person's body, usually a criminal.
Dan gets to live their life for three weeks and figure out who they are, what they've done wrong, and how to bring them to justice.
Is Dan an angel Is he on assignment from God This sequel to "Kick" starts to address some of those questions in a clever firstperson narrative that's witty, dramatic, at times creepy, and isn't without its share of murders.
The great thing about book two is that it delves a little more deeply into Dan's personal struggles with his situation, how it has affected his surviving family members, and how it has taken its toll on him.
The premise of this series is one of the most original I've read in a long time, and I'm eagerly awaiting more! Second in the trilogy thus far about Dan Jenkins a "rider" who rides in the bodies of people for a while until something drastic is done or he is kicked out.
This book is a bit more violent and more of a horror novel than the first book and it made me like it even more.
I do like this series and want to know more about this character beyond this and the next book.
Dan Jenkins is back, body hopping a scumbag at a time in his quest for the perfect ride.
He doesnt need much. Premium cable TV, good books, a wellstocked pantry, and he's set, But the Great Whomever has other plans,

After six months waiting in limbo, Dan catches a ride as a horror novelist whose gruesome stories arent just fiction.
Later, he hunts a man whos escaped justice for far too long, Then, in his greatest challenge yet, he strays too deeply into the lives of the people he loves: his most foolish ride of all.
I loved the first one so I had high hopes, I was hoping Dan would team up with the minister for a vigilante duo righting all wrongs spree, but the book just kind of went nowhere with a bunch of twisted stomach turning violence.
Was this as good as the firstwell probablybut it also wasnt new, Who knows I read the first years ago and it was different, NowI mean I know Dan, were old friends, This felt like a nice visit, Dans still doing Dan. Inhabiting bad guys and trying to right some wrongs, kind of against his will really, Flubbing things up while reading and eating a bunch of donuts, It felt like visiting with a friendwho might either be a really bad liar or kind of insane but it breaks up the monotony of day to day life so you just go with it.
Im obviously going to read the third Fool's Ride didn't have much of a plot line, when compared to Kick.
That's not to say it had nothing, In both books so far, the structure includes three separate story arcs put to gether into one large story.
In the first book, the overall story was a bit more clear and it had an obvious, active climax.
Fool's Ride had a strong emotional climax, There was more character development in this book, which was one thing I found a bit lacking in Kick.
Thus the slower, emotional climax,
This book was also a bit funnier than the first one, That is one thing that both of these books really have going for them: they have a really strong character voice and a lot of humor interspersed.
I found myself both laughing out loud and tearing up, That is a mark of a good book,
I do highly suggest this book, I will warn again, though, that this series is on the soft side of "R" and it will have a good amount of violence and heavy subject matter.
Make sure you can handle that kind of content before you get into the story, So reading this was off my schedule, but I loved bookso much I couldn't help myself.

Jut like book, Kick, Dan's adventures start from page one as he tries to work out the weird and twisted world of his "rides" This time around he has some doozies, too.
It probably doesn't help that I'm pregnant and have small children, and the victims of his rides are those two things.
Add in my pregnancy hormones and I was in for an emotional ride!
But this time, Dan's real life past returns, as well as the minister from Kick.
It makes me wonder where Dan is headed, and I'm eager for the next installment,
I just don't have words without handing out spoilers, But this book is worth everyone's time, It's something I can't put down, and Dan's conflict while also trying to have some fun makes him the perfect character for his body hopping situation.

Looking forward to the continuation of this series, I picked up the first book on a whim and got so caught up in the series that I had to read all the books.
A fascinating premise, it reminded me a lot of the TV series Quantum Leap, though these leaps are a lot darker and he meets others that are also jumpers.


For me, this one was a bit slower than the first, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly.
Each ride is like Dan is peeling off the layers of an onion until we're left with the stinky bits that make you wanna cry.
It's fun to see just how despicable the ridees can be, And who doesn't like a story of justice, where evil gets its due Awesome read

If you like or even read 'Kick' you'll love this book.
If you haven't read 'Lusk I suggest you do then 'Fools Ride",
In my opinion John Monk writes a great book, It has abit of Gore at times and funny that I atually laugh out loud, It can be intense at monuments but then you have your laid back time cause Dan, the main character is funny, likes to read, lay around watch t.
v. and eat pizza and ice cream, Oh yea let's not forget donuts, lemon especially,
On this particular ride ,the first I should say he's a really messed up horror writer that leads to a very bloody scene before he's kicked to yet another screwed up old man that ends up doing a good thing then he's into yet another screwed up man.
But this all has a meaning it seems and it leans towards his family, After sitting in the great unknown foryrsmonths anddays, I believe, he's lead to a big surprise.
And no it seemed long but not that long, And I liked how he discovered the new movies right on your t, v. , smart phones, tablets all the new stuff that changed in justyears, It was kind of amusing how he described it, I've grown pretty fond of Dan and his humor and killing sprees, I hope this isn't the last of him but I don't no if theirs anything left.
He seems to ha Made his piece but then again he was potholes out shortly after to make that one digit off phone call.

So I guess we wait and see if there's a book three, Me my self I hope so, I get a kick ,lol, out if these books,
Resumingmonths after the ending of Kick, Fool's Ride finds Dan Jenkins jumping into the life of a famous horror author, Ernest Prescott, moments before a book signing.
Dan finds that his ride lives a bizarre lifestyle which may threaten the lives of others.


If you enjoyed the first book of this series, you are sure to enjoy this one.
It full of the same edgeofyourseat suspenseful action,
I found myself cheering for Dan all the way!

I highly recommend this book series to readers of the Dark Fantasy, Horror and Thriller genre.


I do caution that this book contains violence and other material that may not be suited for young and/or sensitive readers.
.rounded up.

Started out a bit weaker than the first in the series, but then got quite intriguing.
. rounding up tostars, I loved Kick, the first book in the series, Fool's Ride kicks the intensity up a notch, which was good and bad, I loved that decisions about the

fate of Dan's rides was muddier in some cases, I also liked learning more of Dan's backstory, The book opens with a ride that seemed far more violent to me than any previous rides.
The sadistic nature of the characters made my very uncomfortable and almost caused me to DNF the book.
Luckily, that ride ended aroundand the rest of the rides were closer to what I expected based on the first book.
Seriously enjoyable. Just not necessarily fivestar writing, I'm a rough scorer. Read it in as close to one sitting as I do these days, I definitely hope Monk keeps up this series, Dan is finally growing up!!!

Dan committed suicide when his first and only girlfriend dumped him.
He was a loner with confidence issues to start with lol, . . When he died No Hell No Heaven, Just alone in his mind no body but he could remember everything he ever read, In the first book you find out Dan getsweek passes into random really BAD people, aka Serial killers, molesters, abusers etc.
. . and he tries to right wrongs while enjoying being human and on Earth again but before he gets kicked out by original owner he kills them with evidence to their crimes on them.
A perfect job for an irresponsible selfish soul But someone God Changed the rules toward end of last book and he was put into a Good guy to try to help him but he was too selfish for fun and almost screwed up read first book to understand.
Now he is back and the rules are still changing and he is actually learning and growing slowly LOL Surprise visits from Family and former character's keep him guessing.
A must read usually don't go so much into detail but both books are a Must Read.
Signing up for email notice for New books Need more now, What an awesome sequel to Kick! The lovable Dan Jenkins is back, larger than life, I found this story slightly slower to get into than its predecessor, but once I was in the thick of it, it was amazing.
Just like the first book, once I became engrossed in the story, I found it difficult to put down.


I loved that we got to see some character growth with Dan, as inevitably, so many kicks are bound to take their toll on his psyche.
It was great to learn more about his original life and family, and interesting how it tied in with everything else going on.
Despite Dan's best efforts to remain unattached to his former life, he just can't help himself and it does present him with a few challenges as he battles to bring justice to his latest ride.


I found myself itching to know more about the minister, I feel there is a huge story arc there, just waiting to unfold.
There is much more to that character than we first thought, I love that someone in Dan's present circumstance, knows of his predicament, I also loved the detail of the subplot with the 'wrong phone number' I won't say more as I don't want to spoil it for future readers.
. . but I highly recommend this book, If you have not already read Kick, I urge you to read that first, .
