Jackson Lee Eye had a childhood that would make the Manson family look the Brady Bunch. His mother was a beaten down, submissive wife to Jackson's step father who was a fat, lazy, worthless slob. This abusive piece of garbage tended to beat Jackson every chance he got. That was ok with Jackson, though, because as long as his step father was focused on him, that meant he would leave his 5 year old twin sisters alone.

This was Jackson's life until everything changed when he was 14 years old. As he was coming home from school, he found a single pink shoe lying in a field all by itself. He recognized this shoe as belonging to his little sister, Tess. He was puzzled to see it there in the field because his sister never let those shoes out of her sight as she loved them so much. When he picked up the shoe, he got the horrific answer to his question in a razor sharp vision. That was the day Jackson's life changed into something even worse than life with his step father.

Through a stint in a boys' home, he met Charlie. This book worm of a guy was Jackson's roommate as well as a friend, even though Jackson never wanted to admit to caring about Charlie. He heard all about Charlie's younger brother, Hector, and he tried to plan a new life including the three of them together after they both got out of the boys' home. Charlie was older and got out first. Jackson ran away from the home a week later. He never thought that Charlie would become a part of his life in the future.

At first, he worked as a fortune teller with a carnival where he met a girl who would become his lifelong friend. Her name was Abby and she was the Unicorn Girl at the carnival. Through her parents, Jackson was given a true place in the carnival until the day he decided to make something more of his life.

Jackson eventually turned his unusual psychic ability to see everything about a person simply through touching them or something of theirs into a way of life. He had settled into this life where he had only two friends, one of them being his dog, Houdini, and Abby, his secretary. It was necessary for him to wear gloves all the time, but that turned out to be a small price to pay since he was one of the most popular psychics in Georgia.

Yes, Jackson had his life all figured out until the day that a man showed up on his doorstep making him an offer that he can't refuse. Blackmailed into participating in a government experiment, he finds out more than he ever wanted to know about the Other Side. Before it's over, Jackson will find his life in danger from sources he never knew existed. But he may also find that he doesn't know everything when it comes to the Here After. The question is whether or not he'll live through this experience to appreciate what it all means.

A rather fast moving plot is at the center of ALL SEEING EYE that won't let you go until you've read the very last page. The surprises keep coming around every corner and at the end of nearly each page. Just when you think you've got things figured out, you realize that you weren't even close. Creepy, scary, and actually laugh out loud funny in places, ALL SEEING EYE may be the perfect book in this genre. If you want to try something a bit different, give Rob Thurman's ALL SEEING EYE a read. You'll be talking about it long after you've read the final page.
