Review of Accidents Happen
How about a time when an accident actually glued two already broken things together for a while? Yes, you read it right, but we are not talking about joining any materials, even though the word accident at first suggests that something has broken. What I am talking about is that the lives of two young adults were already broken by their previous accidents, and now, by this so-called third accident, a mutually supportive bond was formed between them. The accident involved was nothing more than their wheelchairs crashing into one another. I feel privileged to introduce to you Amy and Billy, whose wheelchairs collided and subsequently led to an episode of romance between them. You may be interested in knowing more about Amy and Billy by reading the book Accidents Happen by Milton Cust.
This medium-sized romantic book has about 133 pages as read on my Microsoft Word copy. The book is divided into 28 chapters. A third-person perspective is used in narrating the story. Amy was brought up in well to do decent family, and she was the youngest child. Unfortunately, Amy met with an accident while aerial skiing, making her unable to stand and walk. In a similar manner, Billy, a cowboy who had earned his name as a famous bull rider, met with an accident during his last bull riding event. The accident broke his spine, requiring him to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. After a brief period of agony following the accident, they developed a romantic bond. The family drama in this book clearly portrays the expression of our emotions like attraction, jealousy, heartbreak, inspiration, and much more. Were these two physically-disabled lovers could complement each other? Did they lead an independent family life together?
In addition to the romantic scenes, one of the things that I liked most about this book is the fact that it provides many ideas for inspiring physically-disabled people to live independently. The author has thoughtfully crafted the characters with good precision, which makes them appear like real-life ones. The book explores various facilities available in the developed world today for a physically-disabled person to lead a fulfilling life. The only thing that I disliked the most about this book was its abrupt ending because I was expecting a smooth climax. I feel the author has plans to continue this story in the next sequel.
I recommend this book to teenagers and young adults who like romantic stories with a touch of family drama woven into them. People with physical disabilities who are having difficulty fulfilling their passions will find this book inspirational. Because most of the book's content consists of romance and family drama, I do not recommend it to people who dislike these subjects.
I took this book for reading because I was intrigued to know what this book has to say about accidents. When I completed reading this book from cover to cover, I realized there could be, sometimes, good outcomes from accidents, even if they hurt us immediately in a few ways. During the course of reading the book, I felt I might give it all four stars at the end. Fortunately, what I felt was right because I found the plot was perfectly crafted in a way that pleases me. In terms of presentation, more than ten grammatical errors were found in this book, which I think might need one more round of professional editing. I had to hold back one star even though those errors had not affected my reading experience. Considering the overall quality of this book, I finally decided to rate this book with 3 out of 4 stars.
