This book has a fantastic set of themes that are highlighted throughout the Steve's life who attempts to shape his life around changing the world for the better. It is a very thrilling story that makes the reader ponder society, government and the power of choice. Congrats on the BOTD!

I usually steer away from political and historical fiction but I might make an exception here. There are so many people talking about how great it it's and I wonder what will happen to Steve when he changes careers.

Wild World by Peter S. Rush is a fantastic novel that delves into the topic of choice and decision-making. Congratulations BOTD!

This book is good. Personally, I found the protagonist to be very manipulable, but overall it was a very interesting book.

This was an amazing read. I did expect a dramatic victory though, I would have preferred it but all is well that ends well.

Wild World" by Peter S. Rush is a well-crafted crime thriller that explores themes of choice and decision-making, with engaging characters, thought-provoking storylines, and well-executed dialogue. The author masterfully highlights important themes throughout the book, reminding us that we shouldn't be quick to judge and that we may become the very thing we are fighting against. Great review here.

This sounds like a well edited and written book but I will pass on reading it. It has started very slowly and has been unable to capture my attention. Thank you for your review.

For the police to shoot protesting students is not acceptable. I love the role Steve played in trying to bring government to order in "Wild World" by Peter S. Rush.

I've read this book, and it was truly a great read. I kept rooting for Steve as he went through the highs and lows of his life, career and his relationship with Roxy. Definitely a great choice for BOTD.

Sergeant Durk's lecture reminds me of the Army recruiter I spoke to when I decided to join the military. I felt motivated to protect freedom and delayed going to college to serve. Steve didn't go to law school, but he still followed a career path for law enforcement. Nice review.

I usually don't like to read books regarding politics or wars however, I grew up in this era and I know many people, including my husband, who were in the Vietnam war. I am interested in reading this book and have put it on my must-read list. I enjoyed your review.

Interesting book that I enjoyed reading from start to finish. Other than the sexual scenes it would have been a good read for all age group. Congrats on BOTD.

Thank you for the review. What does Steve do that makes him feel guilty? I'd love to know. Congratulations on winning BOTD.
