"If this works, it will let you live again." Those words convince eighteen year old Jamie Pepper to undergo a risky, experimental operation to treat the debilitating symptoms of early-onset Parkinson's disease. Within months his world is changed for the better. By the fall his college plans are seemingly back on track. Yet as Jamie enters the college world of classes, drinking, girls, and sex, visions from his past, and flashes from an unfamiliar present suggest that all is not as it would appear. Has Jamie been prowling in the night when he thinks he's been sleeping? And if so, is there now blood on his hands? On/Off follows a young man as he explores modern college life, the realms of the body and the mind, and the ways the past seems to sneak up and scramble even the most carefully plotted plans for the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as any of the 1950s & 60s suspense novels
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013

I was very pleased that Mr. Attebery made me work a little to get to know the characters. He didn't just hand you a set of characteristics and then expect you to just follow the action. He ensured that his characters had solid personalities and that the evolved throughout the book. A well crafted story with a tragic hero. You just don't see too many like this anymore.

I certainly prefer this type of story because it develops along the classic format of story telling. This book was not written with a screen play in mind. It was written with a desire to tell story and thoroughly engage the reader.

Very enjoyable and satisfying, not like the junk food, slap-dash novels you see so much of these days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Jekyll and Hyde, but good story
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2012

I really don't know why this was labeled a "Jekyll and Hyde" story, but I don't care anyway. I was really involved in this story right until the very end. The details about what it's like to go off to college, and figure out where to eat and where classes are, etc are right on target. But suddenly during this interesting story about an adolescent boy with head trauma, comes a mad scientist and some pretty unbelievable action. As I read the climactic scene, I just kept thinking? "Really?? REALLY?!?!" It's hard to remain absorbed in a story that makes you laugh out loud during the serious tragedy scenes. But there is still something compelling about most of the book, and I think I'm going to keep it on my Kindle to read again. Maybe I'll just stop a couple of pages before the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite Jekyll and Hyde
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2009
Verified Purchase
I purchased my copy of On/Off due to the fact that I am a regular reader of the website Highdefdigest.com - and this novel is written by their managing editor.

As a fan of novels that involve looking deeper into one's own self, I have always been drawn to Jekyll and Hyde type stories, as they tend to explore what lies on the darker side of our being. For this reason, as well as the potential for some man vs. science story with the implant in the main character's head, I put On/Off at the top of my to-read list.

Unfortunately, On/Off isn't quite the Jekyll and Hyde story it is made out to be. For the most part the book follows the college exploits of Jamie Pepper, the main character and all the usual parts of life that would encompass - above all, sex. And while I'm not a prude, I found the sex scenes to be forced, and frankly unnecessarily explicit. Basically, it felt like a switch to some kind of erotica in those parts, and it really didn't work for me.

It is also worth pointing out that it is fairly obvious that Atteberry has a background in film, as several of the main characters get into film discussions and are going to film school. These aspects were not a problem with the writing, but they did seem to get in the way of the actual story being told.

As far as the story goes, it seemed a bit convoluted, and took quite a long time to really get going. Once it did, I was hooked - but this wasn't until well into the second half of the book. The ending then came much too quickly and left the rest of the story feeling a bit empty and meaningless.

In all, Atteberry is a good writer - although he could have used some trimming of the story to keep things a bit more focused. I'll keep my eye out for future works from him, but may wait until I see a few reviews of them before clicking the "buy" button.

Kept waiting for some meaning...it didn't come. Nothing happened for most of the book and then some blood and bam it was over. Writer did do a good job of developing main character..he seemed like a real person.

This book has a great pace and plot twists to keep the reader interested. The juxtaposition of what the patient required versus the goal of the surgeon is a bit frightening. Overall, I found this book to be a book I would recommend for any adult.

I enjoyed reading this book and thought it had a unique plot. The build-up was great and I got really involved with the characters. I thought there were a lot of unresolved issues when I finished it, though, but still think it's worth a read.

Note: I also posted this review on Goodreads

Edgy, sexy, violent, and naughty. This is what your mother warned you against....and this is primo underground writing. Get this book, stay up late and dig in. And remember this author's name, you'll be hearing more of it in the future.
