Review of Randy the Irresistible
12 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Randy the Irresistible" by S M Goodier.]
Most of the time in life, we are enamored with pursuing what we desire and believe is best for us, and as a result, we lose sight of what we need and what is best for us. This fact is brilliantly conveyed in S M Goodier's fantastic work. Randy the Irresistible is an entertaining novel that covers the journey of Randy Love, the youngest son of John and Marjorie Love. The story depicts the difficulties that young adults confront when they leave the safety of their homes and join the real world, where they must fend for themselves and not become a burden to the family.
Randy is a crafty and deceitful bachelor who chooses to leave his family home and start a new life of his own. He showed hints of his manipulative personality as a child and was the apple of his mother's eye. The young man had spent a few years studying for a business degree overseas and had returned home with no intention of returning to school. Here is where his exploits, as well as his freedom, began when he returned home. Randy began looking for a stable job and an apartment after deciding not to return to school. He wanted to move out of his family’s home too. In his desire to become an independent individual, he makes friends, loses friends, makes some stupid mistakes, and frequently needs to be saved out of a variety of awful circumstances that are or aren't his fault. He also has a love life to maintain in the midst of all of this, and he does a poor job of it. Do you want to discover if Randy will be able to overcome all of the challenges in his path and find a wonderful partner? Then go on to learn more about Randy Love in this fantastic story.
This book has a lot of aspects that I liked. To begin with, I like the book's depiction of how difficult it is for young adults to establish an independent existence away from home. Randy's complaints were understandable because I had been in similar circumstances to him. Furthermore, I admired how the author presented Randy's character in this novel as a manipulative individual who was occasionally uncertain of himself and always in need of advice. Finally, I appreciated the author's inclusion of a British index at the end of the book, which helped me a lot with vocabulary I did not understand.
There is not a single thing I do not like about this book. It accomplished its goal of being a fascinating read with a lot of comedy. I grant this book a four out of four stars rating because I enjoyed reading it and saw no grammatical faults, leading me to assume it had been well-edited.
I suggest this book to any young people who are considering becoming self-reliant from their families, as well as teens who are about to move out of the house, either to school or another location away from family, to start a new life.
