Review of The Attack on the Ferris wheel
Adhesively, the lives of various characters are joined by an event in The Attack on the Ferris wheel by Michael Owino. This historical fiction book is an exciting whirl, which begins at Brighton Pier in 1979. Janokovic and his gang (Matt, Eik, and little George) plan to rob the amusement park. In another scene, young Tom and his parents (Richard and Jeanett) are in a swimming pool before they head out to the amusement park. How do these characters affect each other’s lives? How does the robbery operation turn out?
A day later, Mayor Frank Gustavson meets up with the police chief, Vince Owen. The media is persistent, and everyone is seeking answers. Mayor Frank Gustavson is already in a bad place with the people, and a wrong approach toward the present issue could ruin him, as they know him for his outbursts when triggered by the media. The investigation continues strongly for a long time and involves new characters along the way. Read more in The Attack on the Ferris wheel by Michael Owino.
The Attack on the Ferris wheel comprises six parts, 16 chapters with subchapters, and 320 pages. The author has perfectly arranged the story with scenes of different narratives led by different characters. The characters have been creatively described, and fit properly into their time, which is between the 20th and 21st centuries. I loved the plot of this story. It drew me into the book more and more, as I wanted to know how it would all end. The Attack on the Ferris wheel is not professionally edited. There are some grammatical and punctuation errors, and although they are not so distracting, it would be nice for this book to go for another round of professional editing.
Apart from the presence of multiple errors, which include beginning sentences with a lowercase letter and giving plural nouns plural verbs, it is difficult to note the translation from one scene to another in the early parts of the book, like Chapter 1.
Conclusively, I rate The Attack on the Ferris wheel by Michael Owino three out of four stars. I enjoyed reading all the parts of this book and learning more about the characters. This book would have received four stars if it were not erroneous. The author has done a marvelous job with this book. I recommend The Attack on the Ferris wheel to fans of historical fiction and lovers of crime and thriller stories.

I always enjoy reading about life in the 70s, though. Anyway, I hope the author considers your comments because a faulty edition can ruin the whole reading experience.
Good job!
