Review of The Madam
Posted: 28 May 2022, 11:46
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Madam" by Amari C. Johnson.]
The Madam is a gripping story about a multibillionaire and her inheritor. It is a narrative about a successful woman who becomes overambitious and overzealous in her quest to overshadow her ex-husband after he breaks her heart. After a while, she achieves this goal. She starts a business that brings in a lot of profit, and as we’d expect, the business is a very illegal one. The alarming part of this is that there’s no turning back. What business is this that keeps her on her toes? Why is it so difficult for her to make changes?
The Madam is a crime story written by Amari C. Johnson. The author began writing this book at the age of 15, and that is quite commendable. This book is narrated by 16-year-old Victoria Powers, the granddaughter of the most feared and respected multibillionaire in Washington, D.C. She is also the inheritor of her grandmother’s fortune and is envied by the conflicted children of her grandmother. She is the closest person to her grandmother, and although she seems bold at first, is she the right person for the job of preserving her grandmother’s legacy? What trials does she have to overcome in the task ahead? What does she do in the face of danger?
Firstly, I would like to say that I was truly delighted by the fact that the author started this book when he was 15 years old. The idea behind the story is a very bold one, as it is something a 15-year-old wouldn’t normally write about. The story is straightforward and interesting, with simple language. It becomes very inspiring as we journey through the life of young Victoria Powers.
On the downside, I would state that The Madam is not professionally edited and would need another round of professional editing. It is quite obvious that the book was written by a 15-year-old because it contains countless punctuation and grammatical errors, bad sentence structures, sentences beginning with lowercase letters, words starting with uppercase letters in the middle of a sentence, and many more troubling errors. I was discouraged by these errors because they disrupted the flow of the story.
As a consequence, I will give this book a rating of two out of four stars. Although the story might have been interesting, I was put off and exhausted by the bad editing and recurring errors in practically every few sentences. It became extremely tedious since I had to edit the story in my head. Therefore, I believe that another round of editing would greatly improve the quality of the book.
Despite its flaws, I would recommend this book to young creators, lovers of female bosses and leaders, lovers of crime stories, and young adults in general.
