The author wrote a fascinating story that is catchy and trendy for the youth of today. The storyline as it goes from page to page goes hand in hand with the tittle of the book Guardian of deceit as we see how a young man was deceived as he hoped for a better place after parting way with his guardian. The author William H. Coles pays attention to detail in describing the story. His attention to details makes it an easy story to follow and once the book is in your hand its hard to put down.

In the book we are introduced to a young man by the name of Darwin as he goes to his now legal guardian being his cousin. He met two people on the plane, and it seemed destiny had brought them together cause one of the people on that plane that he met as young man played a vital role in his upbringing. As he grew up in his legal guardian house he met hostile situations that he was not accustomed to, the legal guardian thought he was punishing him but little did he know that he was teaching him a way of life as those aspects he learnt there we helpful to his future.

Going further reading the book and what I liked about it is how the author reveals or gives the details of the events happening. Him paying attention to details gives one a clear picture and how the world the young man finds himself in. I also liked the linkage between the other characters to how they infused to the story. The linkage between them shows how a world could open to endless possibilities. What I did not like is the ending of the story, in as much as it’s a lovely ending. I believe the author could have went further to tell us about the happy ending that was seen at the last scene. It would be catchy to see Darwin finding his love.

Throughout reading the book I could not find any errors in editing showing that much care was taken into the editing so to afford readers an excellent read. I give it the rating of 4 out of 4 stars because it was exceptionally edited. The other reasons to me scoring it a rating above is that it is makes you open to a different kind of world that could be easily captured by the mind and how the author William H. Coles divide the chapters to make the reading as easy and comfortable.

The book talks mostly to young men and women who are eager to be a success. So, I would mostly recommend it to the young going through the different stages in life. As the book tells us how he went from being a young man to a married man. Through his journey he went from having it all to almost losing it all but through luck and humanity he had people he loves that helped him along the way. To the young men and women who will read the book, they shall learn that even when the odds are against you, it does not mean that you are to quit but if you could persevere and carry on showing love, respect and humanity, you could go far and achieve all your dreams.
