Who the Heck is Benny Leck? tells the story of Benjamin Leck, a simple president of the United States. Benjamin has his country's interest at heart, doing things to improve their quality of life. However, not everyone values good, so his benevolence might cost him.

After being on a talk show where he highlighted most of his country's issues and the possible solutions to them, Benjamin Leck is supported by thousands of U. S. citizens to run for president. Benjamin gets to be president, but a tragedy occurs. Who the Heck is Benny Leck? tells the story of a man's genuine love for his country and the lengths he will go to protect it.

I am overwhelmed with praise for Who the Heck is Benny Leck?. Len J. Beck has a talent for enrapturing one's mind with words. Reading the book was something I enjoyed doing, as it was so exciting. I was transported into Benjamin's simple way of life and got to see him from different angles, as his story was told from different individual viewpoints. The high point of the read for me was the unexpected and surprising twist of events at the latter parts of the book. For instance, Benjamin's final fate was unexpected.

Another attribute of the book that had me captivated was the added suspense in the read. From the manner the story was told, I was filled with a sense of wanting to know more. There was absolutely no way of predicting future occurrences in the book, as the author left no hints in the writeup. There are two reasons I enjoy reading books that fuel my desire to always find out what happens next. First, it makes the book more engaging, as I always want to be hooked to a book from start to finish. Secondly, it makes me develop a high level of respect for the author and always look out for their works. Not every author can pull that off perfectly. Kudos to Len for the excellent writing and execution of this story.

I would rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I found a few grammatical errors. However, they were not enough to penalize the book, as they didn't distract me from flowing with and enjoying the story. It would be safe to say the book was professionally edited. If you're a stickler for suspenseful stories that keep you hooked from start to finish, you will have a swell time reading this book.
