A sigh of relief because Steve finally brought to book all the corrupt members of the police department. He brought the change he was fighting for.

I found the ending sad and disappointing. I would have preferred to see Steve wrestle with the idea of sacrificing his life to end corruption in his police district. And I would have preferred to see him struggle to choose between keeping himself safe so that he can continue to have a relationship with Roxy and risking his life to change his police department for the better. But instead what we got was Roxy questioning the morality of his police work in a way that I found completely unconvincing.

I felt an emotional release. I felt happy that Steve finally reached his goal and they all paid the price of corruption and greed.

I felt relief for Steve because his suffering was not in vain and he achieved his purpose because the culprits paid the price.

I felt good. I liked that his sacrifice did not end up in vain. And Roxy got to understand how much he went through.

Self fulfilment is that word!. After everything he had to go through, atleast he conquered and brought to justice some of the perpetrators of these vices. I loved that his efforts weren't in vain.

I'm happy it ended on the positive note. At least, Steve would recover from his losses better.

Distaste from knowing the truths and evils of this world. Before this bool, I already knew most of the things contained it in but it's still very saddening.

When I finished reading Wild World, it felt like I was finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. the journey was dark, gruesome, and very difficult with relief in pockets, but it felt amazing to see the victory of good over evil.

I liked the end and the decision Steve takes. He did his job and moved on. Any other ending would perhaps not satisfied me.

I felt it was really inspiring to read about Steve's journey battling the hierarchy and his struggles not only against the corrupt justice system but also with his friends and girlfriend, who were unsupportive. When I closed the book, a word that came to my mind was thought-provoking. It was a good eye-opener and I feel like I want to read more novels in this genre from now on.

The book appeal to me, I relish it from start to finish, I felt like reading another book written by the author but the only thing I don't like about the book is the adult scene.

I was happy with the ending and felt exhilarated that Steve made a difference in the end as he had set out to do in the beginning. He also moved on to a new part of his journey, where he helped other youths in his own way. He kept making a difference!
