Review of Wild World
Wild World by Peter S. Rush tells the admirable story of the protagonist Steve, whose initial plan was to be a lawyer, but he becomes a police officer in the Providence Police Department and then switches to joining the Peace Corps. Being an advocate for justice in relation to the current happenings leading to riots in the country, Steve and Roxy, His girlfriend keeps showing up at different peaceful protest march scenes where they meet fellow advocates and enthusiasts all against the present state of the country and police brutality.
Striving to make a difference in society, he decides to join the police force hoping he would have a voice there to speak against corruption and would be supported. Not knowing what he was getting into but thinking that he would be the man who wants to stand up for the right things, he gets caught in a web of corruption within the Providence Police Department. He feels defeated because his initial reason for joining the department to make a change gets trampled on countless times by his colleagues who in no little way seem to have gotten used to the system. Steve makes numerous efforts to track down the bad eggs in the system and constantly tries to do the right thing in all his posts of duties, but this always goes down the drain and leads to dislike from colleagues and his superiors. An event eventually occurs that changes Steve’s life forever and makes him quit his job in the Police Department.
Wild World by Peter S. Rush is a story of love and hate, passion and sacrifice, betrayal and deceit, corruption and death. A lot of hard lessons could be learned from this book. Steve’s character shows that of a man willing to sacrifice all for the sake of love as one of his initial reasons for joining the police department was so that he would stay back in Providence and remain with his sweetheart, Roxy.
Although the use of profanity and offensive words are predominant in the book, it does not in any way affect the plot of the book and character placement. The book is easy to read and understand and follows a straightforward pattern. The editing of the book was thoroughly done as I found no errors in the book.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because of the above-mentioned observations. The book’s theme includes; injustice, courage, perseverance, good versus evil, and power. I would highly recommend this book to those with an open mind on any of the above-mentioned themes. If you are in any way always thrown off balance by profane words or offensive words, I would not recommend this book for you.
