Why I love this book is that it addresses the excesses of government. This is an area many authors shy away from writing about. Governments in some parts of the world are oppressive and silence dissenting voices and opinions.

Books like this is worth reading considering how impactful it is. I love the storyline and how well the characters are developed. Would have been a 4/4 rating for me if not for the too many non-borderline contained in the book.

The book was beautifully written. It explored a lot of important topics like gun violence and war. I was able to think about certain issues. I got to see the importance of protests. I also realized that individuals are meant to have peaceful protests without getting harmed.

The official review of this novel was very on point regarding the main aspects of this novel. The authors writing style was great and easy to follow. Steve's journey from law to police and its impact on his relationships was gripping. The novel also shows how activism is needed to reform and impact a brighter future. I agree with the official review that it would be better with the error and would rate it three out of four stars.

It is not always that one can say that a book about war is intriguing. The Vietnam War cost a lot of lives and though it's not an easy topic to write about, I especially loved the author's tone and writing style. His perspective is interesting, touching, well written. The book deserves a solid four out of four stars[. b]. I also love the cover of the book and think it excellently captures the narrations therein.

What more can be said about this unique novel. I enjoyed the addition of several themes that tackle societal problems that arose in the time of war. It also opened my eyes to many experiences.

This book brings to light yet another rollercoaster of emotions. Vietnam War might not be a popular topic but reading through this book felt like living the war. I'll give it a strong rating of four out of four stars.

Stevenmusk wrote: 01 Aug 2022, 12:12 The concept of this book is a sensitive and yet realistic view of the Vietnam war. Every character has their aired perspective of their perceived reality and their mistakes and habits are very relatable and expressed. The book cover seems like the perfect fit as it represents one of the books major themes war and protest and so the 4 stars rating is well deserved.
Yes. The author is very creative with the title. Merely looking at the title suggests a kind of social or political unrest. With added advantages, such as a realistic character development, I equally rate this book a four out of four stars.

The goal of this book is to portray the Vietnam War in a sympathetic yet truthful manner. Each character has a distinctive way of looking at things, and they all express and react to each other's errors and improper actions. The four stars rating is well-deserved because the book cover seems to be the perfect illustration of one of the book's main themes—war and protest.

Wild world is an exceptional book. I really enjoyed reading it. It was so realistic in it's depiction of the vices in the society. These vices are rampant in the society today.
And yes! This book really deserved a four out of four stars rating!

I love books like this. It’s like historical while also depicting things still happening in our days. War are supposed to be spoken again. It also have romance woven in it. I so much love the main character, Steve. If there’s anything I dislike, it’s the errors that i found while reading.

I enjoyed reading this book, and I was able to flow with the author's writing style. Steve was ready to do anything for Roxy, and I love the relationship they shared. Steve was brave. The genre is fiction, and my rating for this book is 4 out of 4 stars.

This book was intense and action filled. The writer has an exceptional writing skill in keeping the readers captivated! A trigger warning should be added for more sensitive readers. This war book, isn't your every day story, there are a lot of twists in it!
