[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Young Americans" by Peter S. Rush.]

Sandy, Tommy Logan's fiancée, introduces him to Harry Burr, an ex-convict. Tommy Logan is a small-time marijuana dealer. Tommy accepts the bait, believing he can outsmart Harry, after Harry informs him about the potential for significant financial gain. Then, in the middle of a multimillion-dollar cocaine deal in Colombia, he makes a hasty choice that puts their lives in danger. Tommy realizes that he is falling in love with Sandy, and that she is one of the few people in his life who he can trust. Tommy has always had to rely on his cunning and intuition to live. Tommy discovers he was duped from the start when he gets jailed for a murder he did not commit during a botched drug trade. How can Tommy establish his innocence? 

In the book Young Americans, Peter S. Rush attempts to address a number of social concerns that the public faces, including drug usage, sexual assault, alcoholism, social norms, the legal system, parenting, and religion. Tommy is the main character in this crime novel. He is a tough person who began drug trafficking when he was nineteen years old. He still struggles with the trauma he experienced as a child from being repeatedly raped by his trusted father, Father Byrne. Tommy continues to be sexually abused until he rebels and is transferred to a public school. As a result, he embraces society's vices and hasn't looked back. Sandy, his lover, extends her affection to him, but he still lacks the ability to trust people. He finds security in his chilly, detached demeanor.

The sexual scenes in the novel were one aspect I found objectionable. They are unrelated to the main topic and tend to take my attention away from it. Additionally, I don't think it's likable that the writer used so many filthy phrases to depict the background, as is typical with drug traffickers. This book receives a rating of four stars from me. Since my justification has already been mentioned, I would have given it a higher rating if it weren't for that. I didn't find any problems; therefore, it appears to have been edited professionally as well. The vulgar and obscene content of this book is rated for an adult readership of at least 18 years old. This novel would also appeal to readers who like thrillers and criminal fiction. Despite what I came across, I'd give it a 4 out of 5 because it didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the book.

The distractions caused by the sex scenes and filthy phrases may not be so easy to deal with but it it's a good thing that it was professionally edited.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your review of "Young Americans." I appreciate your insight into the book's themes and social concerns. It seems like the story revolves around Tommy's journey as a small-time drug dealer and his struggle with trust and traumatic experiences. It's unfortunate that the sexual scenes and filthy language felt disconnected from the main topic and may have detracted from your overall enjoyment. However, you did mention that the book was professionally edited and didn't have any other issues. Based on what you shared, it seems like "Young Americans" could be an intriguing read for fans of thrillers and crime fiction. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Intriguing mystery, kept me guessing until the end.

Peter S. Rush attempts to address a number of social concerns that the public faces, including drug usage, sexual assault, alcoholism, social norms, the legal system, parenting, and religion is out of great concern to save the world from rottenness.

However, the profanity maybe a bit set back for me.
Thanks for a great review.

The content and narrative Peter S. Rush is trying to portray to his readable audience is very good despite the filthy phrases been used in the background...But I must commend His Work because of his style of writing as the novel narrates the social vices that do affect many youths of our time...I will rate the Novel a 4 out of 5

"Young Americans" by Peter S. Rush seems to tackle some heavy themes, offering a gritty exploration of the world of drug trafficking and the personal struggles of its protagonist, Tommy Logan. While I'm intrigued by the premise and the attempt to address social concerns like drug usage and the legal system, I'm a bit wary of the explicit sexual scenes and vulgar language mentioned in the review. I prefer novels that focus more on the main storyline without distracting elements. However, considering the positive aspects like professional editing and engaging storytelling, I'm still interested in giving it a try. Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about delving into this thriller and criminal fiction blend, but I'll keep in mind the mature content warning.

In an effort to prevent global decay, Peter S. Rush tackles a variety of societal issues that the public faces, such as drug use, sexual assault, alcoholism, social norms, the judicial system, parenting, and religion. What a fantastic review, thank you.

Tommy can establish his innocence through a combination of gathering evidence, identifying the real perpetrators, and leveraging his relationships.

I can’t wait to see how Tommy escapes jail even though he was set up in a clean manner. I hope Harry goes to jail

I love the thrilling feeling. And I think Tommy the main character in this crime novel is relatable, as a lot of young people resort to social vices as a way of shielding themselves from the traumatic experiences they have had and putting off strong appearances.
