Review of Wild World
[Following is a volunteer review of "Wild World" by Peter S. Rush.]
What does it take to make a difference? This question lingers in Steve Logan’s mind as his graduation quickly approaches. He has two choices: go to law school and make an impact later or try to make a difference now. He ends up settling on the latter. He joins the Providence Police Department intending to make changes from the inside. Unfortunately, nobody wants the boat rocked, especially senior management.
As Steve tries to piece together the inner working of the department, he stumbles upon some interesting information. Little by little, he grows his information store as he proceeds with plans to do something radical. What does this mean for his relationship, colleagues, and his life? Will he survive long enough to make a difference? Grab your copy of Wild World by Peter S. Rush to find out.
Wild World is a compelling book with several appealing aspects. Firstly, I like how Peter has used simple, easy-to-understand English. Anyone with a good foundation in the language will appreciate this book. It contains good descriptions, especially of places. Character development, especially of the main character, Steve, has been done well. Through his associations with his loved ones, colleagues, and other characters, we can see qualities such as honesty, determination, and grit.
I enjoyed the humor a lot. The dialogue is purposeful as it does not waste words. I learned a lot about the characters from it. The book's pace is mostly even, except for the action-filled parts, which move relatively faster. Finally, the stories narrated by different characters are a good addition. I especially liked the one told at the factory because it made me laugh.
However, there are several things to note. First of all, there is the use of profane words and phrases in the book, as well as erotic content. If this would offend you, I advise you to skip Wild World. I also noticed a lot of errors. The editorial team should have done a better job. Some scene changes are abrupt. I found it annoying when two consecutive paragraphs had different scenes, yet there was no clear indication preceding the switch. However, it might only be an issue for the e-book since that is what I reviewed. I hope the hard copy version does not have that issue. Apart from the scene changes and errors, I did not find anything else displeasing about Wild World.
Despite its merits and demerits, Wild World is still a decent book. I recommend it to readers of historical fiction books that focus on characters who try to make a difference by performing heroic deeds. Because of the reasons I have stated above, I rate it 3 out of 4 stars. I have subtracted one star because of the number of errors I found. If you pick it up, I hope you find it worthwhile.

Being in my thirties now, I find the desire to change the world a bit naive. I believe what you can change is your world and yourself. I liked that you mentioned the sense of humor in the book, I wouldn't have guessed it from the cover.
