I've read this book and it's one of the most interesting and touching book. My rating of this book is 4 out of 4 stars. It featured the Vietnam war and how Steve Logan had to give up being a lawyer to be part of the police force. My least favorite part of this book is the betrayal of Roxy. In all, this book was amazing. I learned alot about the Vietnam war through this book. As it's a historical fiction book.

I have only read the sample, and am yet to read the full book, but I can say it's going to be an interesting read. I don't usually prefer violent war books but since the Vietnam war is a less talked about subject, it attracted me as a reader. The writing style is unique; it is engaging and well penned. The cover is spot on too, as it conveys the theme of the book well. Looking forward to reading it!

Steve has a rough part ahead of him, and I love the characterization of this book. The Vietnam wr had a big effect, and it's good to read the author's perspective about the war. I'd rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.
I liked how you summarized everything on my mind in a few words.

The book is about the Vietnam war. War stories are something that always catches my interest. However, the language used is fairly strong for me personally. Nonetheless, it is nice to see events from different perspectives.

Post by Vivian Writes »

I’ll start from the cover. The cover invokes a gloomy sentiment and fits the premise of the book quite perfectly. Struggle for justice is never pretty, and even uglier is war and its ripple effects. Steven character stood out to me and his strong belief in doing what he thought was right was so admirable and had a consuming effect. I loved that the author used words deftly enough to convey Stephen’s commitment to his beliefs, especially when things stopped making sense. I would definitely recommend this book because I think many of us have a thing or two to pick up from Steven character and his passion, to say the least. The ones who have power truly should not weird it arbitrarily or lord it over others like in the Vietnam War.

I just finished Wild World and I rated it 4 out of 4 stars. The title and cover go perfectly with the plot. It is mainly about the corrupt police officials and the entitlement ingrained in them. The Vietnam War is the backdrop But I found our character plotlines detached from it, although originating because of the war. Steve is fighting a completely different battle than Vietnam, and as a matter of fact, so are his friends. Overall, I felt it was more about the struggles of doing the right thing for the youth and a kinda coming of age story.

After sampling this book, I have to say that I am highly impressed with the subject matter of this book. Activism is what got us all the good things we have today. People fought for them and sacrificed a lot. I feel motivated to stand up for truth as I read this book. I give this the highest possible rating.

I'm inspired by this book. And I think giving it a four-star rating is worth It, but for the frequent use of profanity, No. Historical friction is quite interesting.

I value the official assessment of Wild Life. I can see that this book about the conflict is unique among books. It describes each character's viewpoint on the battle, which increases the book's interest level.

In order to evaluate this book well, it is necessary to first look at the period in which the events took place.

The America of the 1970s was a period in which anti-war sentiment reached a high level and student mobility and incidents in the universities increased. The students of this period want to bring a new order to the corrupt system and society. Throughout the book, our protagonists fight for social equality, anti-war, and a new and better order. Author Peter S. Rush has done a very successful job by evaluating the period from the perspective of the student.

Finally, thanks to its book immersion, it promises readers a very enjoyable experience.

I have to say that I enjoyed reading this book a lot. I only did not give 4 out of 4 stars because the way the narrator kept over-sexualizing the women was too distracting sometimes to enjoy the book. It was hard to ignore it. But besides that, I loved the writing style and it was a time well spent reading this book.
3 out of 4 stars 👍

The book's language and tone depicts the plot's setting, which represent normal student life. The overall plot is relatable and the cover picture really depicts its content. What I like most about Wild World is the relatable role of Steve.

This was an interesting book to read. The plot was both entertaining and educational. I was so impressed with Steve's character because, despite many adversities, he fought to bring peace and justice to the country. Regardless of the fact that I am not a fan of war stories, I enjoyed this book.
