Review of Coming Full Circle
Posted: 11 Feb 2023, 00:54
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Coming Full Circle" by Budd Titlow.]
Man has evolved beyond measure, but the question of evolution is whether we are evolving for our own betterment or destruction. Coming Full Circle by Budd Titlow and Mariah Tinger emphasizes the environmental problem that affects the world but is treated with less significance. It starts with the story of a certain boy named Strong Bow and his affinity for nature, which he acquired from his father, True Arrow. This dates back to the primitive age when man depended solely on nature's bounty to survive. It trails off to the story of Thaddeus Adams, another lover of nature who camped in the mountains for days on a regular basis. Thaddeus's affinity for nature left him wandering in the wild, but this changes when he sets eyes on Minerva Graham. Who would have known that Thaddeus would actually settle down for a while? But would he be able to stay like this forever, now that he is married to Minerva? Grab a copy to read more.
I was glued to the book as I discovered that the plot revolves around the problem of environmental degradation and even offers solutions for how to solve it. It starts from the primitive age, when man hunted to survive, and runs off into the future. The authors employed facts in narrating this fictional book. I really enjoyed this part and would always surf the internet to confirm these facts. The major themes employed in this book were nature and politics. It was told from the third person's point of view.
The descriptions were fascinating but employed some form of confusion, and I had to reread some contexts to fully understand them. The way the book was structured, coupled with its extensive length, made the book difficult to read. The pace of the book was relatively slow, which made it difficult to read, considering the fact that the authors' plot followed a structured and predictable path. The book discusses a generation of environmental activists and nature lovers. I felt that there was no need for such a prolonged discussion of Thaddeus's generation because I even grasped the message intended to be passed when I read to the point of his second generation's story. And the book became predictable because his generation seemed to follow the same path. I did not like how some characters were just displaced, like Ethan, Caleb's brother, who went on the same expedition but chose a different path.
This book needs another round of editing as I discovered some errors, and I would rate this book three out of five stars due to the aforementioned shortcomings. It contained a slight use of profane words but absolutely zero sexual content.
Since the theme revolves around nature, some form of politics, and environmental degradation as caused by man, I would recommend it to fans of politics, nature lovers, adventurists, and environmental scientists because of some proven facts that I discovered while reading.
