Review of The Glorious Beast!
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Glorious Beast!" by Scott L.Chally.]
"The Glorious Beast!" by Scott L. Chally is a captivating book that revolves around the lives of two boys, Ricky and Jimmy. Set in the small town of Monticello, Iowa, the story explores themes of friendship, personal growth, and the impact of unexpected circumstances.
Ricky and Jimmy form an unbreakable bond as they navigate the challenges of school life, facing off against bullies and supporting each other along the way. Their friendship deepens when they start a delivery business for a lumber company, venturing into the world of entrepreneurship.
However, their journey takes an unexpected turn when the boys become involved with a dangerous mob cartel through their drug runs. Despite the risks, their business becomes highly profitable, enabling them to expand rapidly. Ricky's father, who has bipolar disorder, plays a significant role in their journey, providing insights and guidance.
The story takes a surprising twist when Ricky's father reveals a prophetic revelation in his autobiography: a riddle about an impending asteroid strike. This revelation propels him to fame, and people start to view him as a messiah figure capable of bringing about world peace. He became president without actively running for office and established a new world order focused on creating a harmonious and peaceful global community.
"The Glorious Beast!" combines elements of comedy, suspense, thriller, action, drama, romance, politics, and religion, making it a thought-provoking and multi-genre book. It offers a rollercoaster ride filled with excitement, intrigue, and contemplation, leaving readers entertained and inspired.

The tempo could be increased in some sections. Some chapters are drowned in unnecessary details. I think more development of the events would make the book better.
I rate the book four stars out of five because of some grammatical mistakes.
