The emotion that stuck out to me the most when reading this book was sadness for the actual people who had to experience it. I could relate to Steve's disgust with the violent crimes committed by violent police officers, and I loved his desire to shield Roxy from the bad aspects of his work.

I prefer a fuller description of the social situation but it was an interesting experience seeing it from the perspective of normal people living their life.

Wild world by Peter S. Rush evoked a variety of emotions in me. I felt deep sympathy for the victims of the war and the unprintable things they had to go through; I wouldn't wish that on even an enemy.

I felt sad and anxious for what could happen to me and my family if a war starts. I felt sympathy for the victims of a war they never wanted. I felt angry at the whole world for being so careless and wanting to fight at the drop of a hat.

I felt pity for the innocent people that were caught in the crossfire. I was also happy for those that survived the onslaught. This book really messed with my emotions.

I agree! I've read several books about this war but the personal, emotional perspective that Mr. Rush brings made me see it in a whole new light. I actually got goosebumps at some point.

I felt really sad that the war affected young people the most. These are innocent people forced to join the war, it also makes me relieved that I did not experience the war.

Although I'm sad for the victims, I feel glad that I'm not there to experience the brutality of war and how it affects people. But this book captures every situations of people experiencing the cruelity of the war and it's really hard to fathom every situations that the author had written. Kudos for him though, he made a very realistic novels capturing different views of 1970s.

I liked that this tough topic was softened by the romance between Steve and Roxy. It made it easier for me to read.

It made me feel scared and sad. I was scared because, more times than once, I pictured myself in the shoes of the victims of war. That vision scared me. I was also sad because nobody should have to go through what those victims went through. Nobody.

The author's style of writing was very descriptive. Thanks to this style, I felt every emotion the people in the story felt. The description of war made me really angry with the world.

I am a very emotional person. I cry at the slightest sad event. The war in this book made me sad and cry a lot. I felt sympathy for the kids who did not deserve to live in such a war-torn land.

I disliked Roxy for the most part. I also disliked Steve because of how her was acting like he did not have a mind of his own at first. I also liked both of theme at certain times.
