Review of JTs World
[Following is a volunteer review of "JTs World" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
JT's World is a tale written by E. Alan Fleischauer about a man named John Thurgoods Thomas, fondly called JT. He is a philanthropist who uses his position, fortune, and connections to help those in need around him. He had a terrible start when the lady he planned to marry was murdered on the day he was opening his amusement park (JT's World, illustrated on the front cover). He had to leave the area to clear his mind, and the tale of adventure, mystery, and romance begins.
JT has had a lot of adventures and met a lot of people during his time away. Chip Heller is one of them, and he assisted him in apprehending and executing the wanted people. He also visits Maria Woodsfort, a preacher whom he respects. Victor, her brother, is also a preacher but gets slain. He has an encounter with the notorious and wanted twins, June and James. One of the twins was shot while being apprehended, while the other fled. JT and Chip pursue the twins and eventually arrest them at the doctor's office, where the shot twin is receiving treatment. The doctor cared for the second patient, who had gone into a coma, and he eventually awoke. Jessica, the twins' doctor, was a beautiful woman who had recently lost her husband and had her son kidnapped by her maid. This story has a lot of characters, interesting backstories and events, and twists and turns that combine them all.
JT's World is the fifth novel in the JT Thomas Adventures series, which consists of five novels. It's an intriguing piece of fiction written in the third person. The plot revolves around love, adventure, family, and business. The plot is strongly supported by the ensemble of well-developed characters. In their respective parts, we learned more about each character. This book seems to have a plethora of short pieces from many genres. The author skillfully combines suspense, humor, romance, and action. I enjoy how the author develops and gives the characters individual voices.
There were several aspects of this novel that I did not enjoy. For starters, there are numerous characters in the plot. By the end of the book, you'll have met far too many people and will be unsure of who is who. The author might be so detailed in some instances that it drags the story to the point where it becomes dull to read. Also, the main character, JT, is unconvincing; he is too good for the Wild West, and Jessica's back story is unbelievable; she flees to the Wild West, abandoning her lovely house and family. Initially, it appears that the tale has no direction until Jessica and Chip come to the rescue in the middle of the novel. Cowboys, prostitutes, and saloons are all tropes of the Wild West. Unnecessarily erotic prostitution scenes can detract from the exhilaration of discovering something new in a Wild West story.
JT's World by E. Alan Fleischauer deserves 4 out of 4 stars from me due to the writing style and plot structure that uses the sub-background tales of each character. My favorite backstory involves twins and how they become intertwined in the plot's flow. Because it is a wild west narrative with profanities, sexual prostitute scenes, and needless gun carnage, it is suitable for more mature audiences. Those who like Clint Eastwood's good-hearted hero persona in Wild West movies also those who appreciate reading romance, criminal thrillers, mysteries, and suspense would enjoy this novel. I saw no significant or minor typographical or editing problems in this wonderfully crafted Wild West story.
