Critic Reviews
“‘Hackett at Large’” is a delightful book … Well-written with … bags of charm. Very highly recommended.” (Readers Favorite Book Review by Asher Syed, 5 Star Review).
“Fitzgerald’s writing style is reminiscent of P.G. Wodehouse; the book is light and charming.” (Independent Book Review).
"In this collection of stories ... readers will enjoy the cut-and-thrust of the fast-paced news agency setting in the golden age of journalism when outsized personalities ruled the media." (Self-Publishing Review, four stars).
"Jack Fitzgerald specializes in interweaving stories that keep Ben Hackett and his readers evolving and confronting new people and situations. Authentic, real personalities, from entertainers to models and politicians, come alive to represent the atmosphere and concerns of the 1960s through disparate eyes and experiences." (Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review)
