SUMMARY: Jack is reunited with his nineteen-year-old 
daughter, Jenny, sixteen years after his divorce.

COMMENTARY: There isn't a whole lot more to the plot, 
otherwise the summary I wrote would have been longer. For 
the most part the story consists of Jack and Jenny becoming 
more and more comfortable with one another until eventually, 
well, I'm sure you can do the math.

What I like about this story is the patience that the author 
shows. He does not have his characters leap into bed with 
one another at the first opportunity. Instead he draws out 
the sexual tension between them.

On the down side, I did find the story to be a bit lacking. 
For starters, the title is somewhat misleading. Maybe the 
author came up with the title first and then tried writing 
the story. Suffice it to say that mother doesn't appear in 
too many scenes in this story. Another thing that bothered 
me about the story is an episode that occurs towards the 
end of part one. It seemed very disconnected from the rest 
of the story. It was relatively short and did not disturb 
the flow of the plot too much, but it certainly came out 
of nowhere.

Finally, I would prefer to have see a little more focus on 
character development and a little less focus on the action.  
[Please note that "I" is the operative word in that last 
sentence.  I just stated my opinion, I did not reveal some 
hidden truth about this story.  We now return you to our 
regularly scheduled review, already in progress.] In 
particular Jenny seemed underdeveloped to me. The fact that 
Jack narrates the story might be partly to blame.

In the end, I found this to be a fun read, but can accept 
that some of you might not, due to the subject matter.

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good

LINK(S): And Mother Made Three (Eventually)
