Review of Cherry Bomb
In Vancouver, a package was to be delivered in a scow “off Point Roberts, the American penne-exclave south of Vancouver." In the scow was a nuclear artillery shell to be picked up by “The juggler," a thug hired by the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Russian accomplices. The atomic weapon, if mishandled, could detonate and wipe out a large mass of people. Coincidentally, this exchange was taking place during the Vancouver late summer fair. A fair that attracts a great crowd. In this chaos, the scow gets mixed up. Tension arises as there is limited time to find a nuclear weapon. Would the scow containing the weapon be found in time?
Randy, an impoverished teenager living in a tree house, got into trouble by playing a prank on a Russian. A prank that entangled him in the thuggery of the nuclear shell. Apparently, how would Randy come out of the mess he wasn't even aware he created in a disadvantaged situation?
Cherry Bomb Explosive Reckonings: A Novel by Willard Thurston is a thrilling genre about the intertwining lives of uncommon characters. I particularly liked the character, Randy. His sense of reasoning and wide imagination was top-notch in the book. He seemed to be living in an entirely different cosmos. I also liked the blending of other characters like Maureen and her family into the book. As a stage actress, she possessed a vibrant and unique feature in the book. The skits were very educative. And the addition of a mystery assailant was beautifully captivating. I liked this about the book.
Another part of the book I liked was the chapters divided into two parts: purgatory and limbo. This division helped signify the change in the sequence of events. I particularly liked the limbo because of the many turns the story took. Randy's near abduction at the wedding was one of the scenes I immensely enjoyed.
The writing style employed by the writer was beautiful. The words were complex and meaningful. It'd take an intelligent reader to crack the mysterious book. But the disadvantage of this was that the reading became cumbersome. I still do not understand why the unknown assailant sought to assault Maureen. There are still some other parts of the book that weren't fully clarified. I wouldn't say I liked this about the book.
Hence, I rate this book three out of four stars. I found only a few errors, meaning the book was well edited. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy mystery and action-filled novels.

The sheer thrill of finding a super-dangerous object can keep one on the edge of the seat and not put down the book until the last coverhas been read.
