Review of Randy the Irresistible
[Following is a volunteer review of "Randy the Irresistible" by S M Goodier.]
The late teens and young adult stage is when many changes occur in an individual's life. Young adulthood is when people gain friends, lose friends, make mistakes and learn many life lessons. These aspects of a young adult's life are depicted clearly in S M Goodier's book Randy the Irresistible. The book is about Randy Love, a young adult who has just dropped out of college and moved back home to live with his father. He is undecided on whether he wants to return to school. However, Randy is sure that he wants to move out of his father's house. In his pursuit of independence, Randy takes menial jobs to earn money, then tries to establish a career by working in a local bank. Over time, Randy realizes that his potential is going to waste in his hometown and decides to move to London and work in a more reputable bank. Randy is a self-centered individual who does not value other people or interpersonal relationships. He uses people and discards them when they no longer serve his needs. Will Randy's move to London be successful, and which life lessons will he learn?
Goodier's book offers a realistic portrayal of a young adult's life. It covers issues that older teens and young adults face in life, especially when transitioning from living at home with their parents to living independently while working or schooling. The author uses humor to cover these issues, making the book more enthralling. Additionally, the author has included a British index that allows readers to understand British slang and vocabulary.
From the beginning, it is clear that the story revolves around Randy and that all other characters are there to support him. However, the book has too many supporting and minor characters that make brief appearances throughout the story. These characters make it hard for the reader to track them, especially when they later reappear in the story.
Goodier's book is a fascinating read, which is why I give it a rating of four out of four stars. The book is professionally edited and has an excellent plot and flow. Randy's character is well-developed and captivating hence the rating.
I recommend this book to older teens and young adults transitioning from living at home to living independently. The book portrays a realistic picture of what to expect when living in the real world. It gives a front-row seat to the pitfalls that young adults face and gives solid advice about life. Goodier's book is humorous and fascinating, and I would not mind rereading it.
