Review of JTs World
The Wild West, or the American Frontier, as some refer to it, was considered a period from the early 19th century to the early 20th century in the United States. It was the time when the western part of North America was colonized. In addition, many texts describe it as a time of cowboys, ranchers, settlers, outlaws, gunslingers, and indigenous Americans. This is an interesting aspect of American history that is portrayed in this fictional tale.
In a Wild West style, the story starts with a bang as a mysterious murder happens on the grand opening day of JT's new complex. This unfortunate event and other happenings forced the owner, Mr. John Thurgood Thomas, to embark on a much-needed journey to have a fresh start. Along the way, he met many characters. He sometimes helps deliver justice to criminals. In other instances, he is generous with his acquaintances. However, Jessica, his latest friend, stands out in every way imaginable, and perhaps there is a chance of becoming more than friends. JT helps recover her abducted son, Theo. Yet another criminal manages to kidnap him for the second time. This time, it was under his care. Will he be able to rescue him a second time? How will Theo's mother react to this news?
There are many aspects of this book that I like. For example, the characters are adequately developed. The author uses flashbacks throughout the story to help readers understand the characters' motivations and actions. Another likable theme presented is the protagonist's generosity. He spends lavishly on people he meets for the first time. This has had a profound impact on me, coming at a time when society is increasingly becoming less generous in the land of plenty.
On the other hand, there are some aspects of the book that I dislike. For example, there appear to be too many characters. This made the book a bit tedious and difficult to keep up with who was who. In addition, some characters that I consider less influential in the story are described in some detail. I found this unnecessary, and it contributed to making the book voluminous.
Despite some of the shortcomings highlighted above, I still enjoyed reading the book. Moreover, the book appears to be exceptionally edited, and I didn't notice any errors. I, therefore, rate JT's World by E. Alan Fleischauer five out of five stars.
The book is suitable for young people interested in romance and adventure, especially fans of westerns.
