What is the book about?
Jack, at five hundred years of age, is experiencing black-outs and amnesia and during these times horrific things happen. He must retrace his steps to figure out who he is and what he is doing during these black-outs and how he can stop them from happening in the future. As he remembers the blank spots from his past, he isn't quite happy with what he finds out.

He does have some help after meeting Sarah and her daughter, Leni who he immediately has a connection with. Jack deeply cares for them, and uses his love for them as motivation to survive and keep the world a better place.

What did I think of the book?
Jack is a huge mystery, even to himself, it was great figuring out who he is along with him.
The biggest thing that bothered me about this book was it's spelling and grammar. Although, this is the author's first book, and he is only twenty years old, so I'll give him a break on that. He can definitely write, but just needs some direction and a good editor.

Jack is a man who has lived for the last 500 years. He has no clue as to who or what he is. He is beginning to remember bits and pieces of his life. As he starts to remember he is not sure he likes what it is that he is finding out about his life.

Meeting Sarah and her daughter Leni is what helps Jack start to remember his past. He has not known them for long but he has a connection with Leni. Jack cares very much for Leni and her mother. He wants to try to stop what is destroying the earth to keep Leni and her mom safe. He becomes to believe that humans has a right to live, to survive because of their love they have for one another.

I really enjoyed reading Staying Human. When something or someone is trying to take over your life and make slaves out of you, you have to fight back. Eventually you have to step up and say no more, I have had enough. You will not control me any more.

I won a copy of Staying Human by Kyle Tobin from LibraryThing for review.

Although the story is a bit repetitive, I did enjoy this book. The story is about Jack, who is more than human. He has lived for more than five hundred years and experiences periods of black-outs during which he is being controlled by some outside malevolent force. This force uses him and others to wreck havoc throughout the world and all through different times in history.

As he is searching for who or what he is, he meets a young girl and her mother and bonds with them wishing to protect them against this force.

As I (and others) have previously mentioned, there are some problems with the book, but (as also stated) this guy is a first time writer and only twenty years old. It was a quick and fun read and I wish Kyle good luck with his writing career.
