Wild World by Peter S. Rush. is a fictional book that describes the Vietnam War and the protest that followed the Kent State University event. The book examines the issues of riots, relationships, injustice, and police violence. Additionally, it discusses how to change the police system and corruption within the police force. The incident at Kent State University serves as the opening chapter of this book. Four students were killed, and nine others were injured by National Guard soldiers. People demonstrated against the incident's victims' deaths and the injuries it caused. Steve Logan is a Brown University student. Steve was a law student who wanted to practice law. Steve met Durk, a New York policeman, on a crucial day. He educated Steve about the police department and the necessity for systemic transformation. Steve decided to join the police force and redirect his career. He became a member of the Providence police force. Since he joined the police department, Roxy, Steve's girlfriend, has repeatedly complained about his lack of availability. She also dislikes police officers and believes that they are all the same.

The way the characters explore various points of view is what I find most appealing about this novel. Each character may represent a specific philosophy or set of beliefs. It's fascinating to witness the conflict between a college protester who wants to reform the system and a police officer who defends and sustains the same repressive system. It's fascinating to watch these idealistic college students mature and learn from their mistakes as well as from their experiences. The characters all seem quite genuine. I like how the characters aren't merely the author's spokespeople.

There was nothing that I disliked about the book; it was well-written and intriguing to read. The only minuscule drawback I saw was the absence of translations, as some parts of the book utilized foreign languages. Other than that, it was a great book, and I enjoyed reading it. The plot of this novel moves along well and is fast-paced and action-packed. Furthermore, the author's choice of simple words made it easier for readers to understand every facet of the story.

The author's clear portrayal of the actions and situations made the story visually appealing. There were no grammatical errors or mistakes in it; therefore, it was exceptionally well edited. As a result, I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to lovers of fictional books.
