Review of Wild World
[Following is a volunteer review of "Wild World" by Peter S. Rush.]
No one hasn't experienced an abuse of power or authority throughout his/her life. Four students were shooted, at Kent State University, in Ohio, by American troops. The students were protesting against the war since Nixon had invaded Cambodia. Many colleges and universities were on strike. It could be the start of a revolution. Stephen Logan was planning to join a law school, but changed his mind, and decided to be a police officer, in Providence, in an attempt to make a change in the system. Stephen had deep different morals and philosophies than those of most of the members of the system, which made his job uneasy and cost him some trouble in his relationship with Roxy, his girlfriend. It, even, threatened his life. Roxy was a medical student; her father and her sister had died, and her mother disowned her. She shared in a demonstration, as a protestor, where Stephen was doing his job as a cop. What would Stephen do when he saw her among the protestors? Would Stephen and Roxy marry each other? Would Stephen succeed to make a change in the system?
The book is a historical fiction novel. Its title is a reality and its cover is a real illustration. It consists of fifteen chapters. Its bald idea is about a human-hearted and mind-directed young man implanting himself in an opponent environment, despite being sure that it was crazy.
I liked the idea of the book. I liked Stephen's high belief in himself and his bald decision. Roxy's religious mother was furious when her daughter had sex in her bed, but she didn't mind kicking her out and calling her "daughter of the devil;" it was an illustration that I liked. I, also, liked Stephen's honesty with himself, when he made a right decision, but maybe, not at the right time. I liked some scenes that were professionally portrayed as when Stephen found himself doing what he was fighting against and felt badly sorry for acting before giving himself enough time to think about it. And when he sat to read Roxy's letter, which was written precisely and from the depth of the heart. Finally, I liked those two quotes that read: "He would carefully fight back every day, or they would own him." and "That is why people have pets; they make love so less complicated."
I didn't like the sexual content included in the book. And Stephen's reaction when he knew about what his brother was doing, but it was real.
The book is well-edited; I, only, found a few errors. Its idea is great. The narration, sometimes, abruptly shifted in the same chapter, which caused some distraction. The pace was slow and the book was not smoothly flowing. Also, it included some sexual content. For these reasons, I rate Wild World by Peter S. Rush 4 out of 5 stars.
I recommend this book to readers who are interested in making serious political changes. But, I don't recommend it to young readers or teenagers because of its sexual content.
