This is a promising sort of story that goes off the rail in a few places. The story is filled with not-ver-nice people, some believably so and some not. And the ending is extremely preachy. Honestly, I wanted Jacob to do something drasting, like shove his hands in a fire or something to "ruin" them. (Am I sick?) Anyway, I think this could have been a good modern "superhero" story about a guy with special powers, but it doesn't quite get there for me.
