My overall opinion is that it was an interesting read.

I liked most especially the conversations between the characters about gender equality.

I will recommend the book to others, and is a fiction I will pick up to re-read again.

Wild world discusses the Vietnam war in a very different and not-so-familiar light. I've read stories about this war and none seemed to have involved and indulged its character the way Peter Did. For a book as sensitive as this, the narration intrigued me. I won't be wrong go give it a four out of four stars.

I just finish reading Wild World. The plot was good and one thing that I loved the most was how courageous Steve was in wanting to change the world for the better. I didn't like the violence and war that happened in the story. I gave solid 3 for this book and recommended for everyone to read it.

Peter S Rush writes in an efficient and clear manner, much as you would expect from a former journalist. It was extremely easy to read and follow, the story kept moving and I finished the book in a matter of days. The strength of this book is in the settings, not in the plot which was fairly straightforward. Once the protagonist Steve had made the unexpected decision to become a policeman I felt that the story followed a fairly predictable path.

I believe what I liked most about the book were the powerful themes it reflected; themes like love, loyalty, and service to country. Although a historical fiction, I learned a lesson to apply in the society; I learned to always want change, to not just conform to laws laid down. I loved Steve's character.

I reviewed this book myself and I gave it four stars, it is a great book and I loved the authors writing style. It deals with the everyday life of people in that era. It is just a work of fiction, but it touched so much of reality it could just as well have been non-fiction.

My rating would be 2 out of 4. There were some exciting bits but there were many errors. I wouldn't be picking this up to read again.

I love the writing tone of the book. when I started reading it, I felt connected instantly. I also enjoyed the plot of the book, which is about war. I generally love action novels, and this is another one. I rate it full 4 stars

The author's writing style is unique. I love the plot, and I believe that this book will be a good read for me. Steve has a rough part ahead of him, and I love the characterization of this book. The Vietnam war had a big effect, and it's good to read the author's perspective about the war. I'd rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.

My rating for this book is 3 out of 4 stars. I did not like how the plot went down. There was no climax. The victory wasn't exciting at all.
