Review of JTs World
In a world of bounty hunters and murderers, you are bound to fall prey to one. A murderer walks among them. Mika, the performer, is found dead. JT's World is a destination with all one could think of: a hotel, a Ferris wheel, a tavern, and more. After four murders take place after the grand opening, JT Thomas is convinced to join his cowhands and Buck on their journey to pick up cattle from Colorado for the ranch. They run into people from different walks of life. Some are prey, like Maria, who ends up being saved by JT and his team. They also run into bounty hunters like Chip Heller, who never misses a shot. Lives are lost and relationships are built. Madeline, JT's daughter, is keen on finishing up the theater that she owns. Through their adventures, they encounter both enemies and friends, who turn into allies.
JT's World was written by an award-winning author, E. Alan Fleischauer. It doesn’t disappoint. It happens to be the last book in the western series, though it can be read as a stand-alone. I loved the book's setting. The western theme was there and could be felt from reading. This is brought about by the way the author writes. He has a way of making the words come to life. In this part of the world that he created, death occurs regularly, with every being alive carrying Winchester rifles and 50 calibers. Where bounty hunters exist, they make sure to deliver. The murderers, robbers, and rapists are wanted dead or alive.
I also loved the characters brought forth. There was always something to learn from the characters. From Madeline, we learn to have a forgiving heart and see the good in others. JT, the protagonist, teaches us to be kind and helpful. Be a light for those that are experiencing a hard time. If you are capable of lending a hand to someone, do it. We learn from Buck's character that no matter where you are in life, you should allow yourself to revert to the little kid you once were. From Chip Heller's character, one learns to stand by those who stand by them. He acts as a protector and symbolizes that no matter what life throws at you, there is always hope. This applies to Jessica and Theodore as well.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. It was also exceptionally well-edited. The rating I would give this book is 4 out of 4 stars. This is because not only was the book thrilling and captivating, but I also learned a few things from it. I enjoyed reading about their journey and how it progressed. It wasn’t a sudden change but gradual improvements as they recovered from what life had handed out to them.
I would recommend this book to adults and young people who don’t shy away from guns, murder, and the like. If you are triggered by violent acts, this book isn’t for you. But if you don’t mind, then this book had a lot to offer with its fast-paced nature.
