Review of The Caretaker
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Caretaker" by Ken Saik.]
Hollis Homes capitalizes on the incidents of the attack on elderly residents at the city's park by Nick, a teenage boy, as a means to set up more structures in Aspen Grove. This idea is initiated by Walter Kohlberg, a businessman who owns Hollis Homes. He desires to build a luxury condo in place of the park. Steve, the caretaker of Aspen Grove, and his brother-in-law, Colin, do all they can to save Sebastian Sanctuary from being replaced by Hollis Homes' luxury condo. This motive is to fulfill the desire of Steve's late grandfather. The park was his contribution to the city. Steve is set to right every wrong in Aspen Grove, and this leads him to take on the same path as Nick. Will Steve and Colin lose Sebastian Sanctuary to Hollis Homes? How will Steve succeed in building a relationship with Nick?
This book has numerous positive aspects. Legal matters involving land tussles and community development are not novel to any society. This makes The Caretaker by Ken Saik a relatable fiction work to read. We see Steve motivated by the desire to protect the park, which his late grandfather had struggled to set up in order to preserve wildlife and for the city's enjoyment. Why set up something for communal benefits in the first place, only to be destroyed and replaced with structures set up for personal gain?
I admire the efforts of Steve and his brother-in-law to preserve the work of their antecedent. This is one positive aspect of the book that appealed to me. Another positive aspect that I appreciate is how Nick was not quickly written off due to Steve's appeal for restorative justice. This helped to reveal that Nick wasn't innately a wayward person, and the root cause of his behavior was found out.
He received adequate assistance and changed for the better through the help of Steve, George, and Janice. Nick proved to be beneficial to Aspen Grove when much later on in the novel. I invite you to pick this book to find out how. He became an asset to the city. Also, from the book, readers get to learn how issues in a community and in residential areas are settled by caretakers and in legal ways. That is to say that the book is one which is highly informative.
This book is devoid of negative aspects. I found a few errors in the book. However, this did not reduce the general quality of this book. It was professionally edited. Therefore, I give the book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend that community leaders, property owners, legal personnel, and residents of structures take it upon themselves to read The Caretaker. Those who are also thirsty for acquiring new knowledge are not left out.
