In ââ?¬Å"Wild Bill Rides Againââ?¬Â? by Jim Antonini, Bill Moreland is an everyday man. He has a successful but average job as a bank president and his commute to work is always the same. Even though it is his 50th birthday, he is far from happy; he is bored, unfulfilled with life in general, and walks around on autopilot. One day after work, when everyone else is gone, he makes a spontaneous decision. He raids the vault and steals one million dollars, smashes his computer and other items in his office, stabs his hand with a letter opener, and drives off, leaving his old life behind. At first, destined for Florida, his unforgettable joyride takes him from the East Coast to the West. As he keeps one step ahead of the law and a fascinated media, he discovers love and friendship, becoming a folk hero along the way.
In ââ?¬Å"Wild Bill Rides Again,ââ?¬Â? Jim Antonini paints a picture of modern-day America as seen through the eyes and travels of a common man. He gives us a relatable and profoundly developed character in Bill Moreland.
With few friends of his own, he often walked his cavernous home alone late or very early as if he were a ghost, having died years before.
During his brief road trip fleeing from the law, we witness his transformation from a socially awkward middle-aged man with no friends to a modern-day folk hero who influences others and makes a significant difference in more than one life.
I was drawn to this novel because of the idea of robbing a bank and leaving your old life behind. It sounds like a crazy idea, and I wondered what would happen if someone actually did it. After reading the details of how dreadful Billââ?¬â?¢s life is, I was hooked by Day 2 as he is disabling the security system and filling garment bags with money while making it look like a crime scene. Even though he just broke the law, you canââ?¬â?¢t help but cheer him on, especially when he makes his first ââ?¬Ë?donation.ââ?¬â?¢
This exciting work of literary fiction is a thrill ride from beginning to end. It is filled with action, adventure, and character-driven narratives that make it a definite must-read. The author�s vivid descriptions of all the places Bill stops along the way make you feel like you are along for the ride. The language is often poetic and immerses the reader in its prose.
Bill rushed back to the vault like a shadow at midnight�
As supporting characters, Kat and Leo, who join Bill in his journey, reflect how different yet similar humanity truly is.
Overall, ââ?¬Å"Wild Bill Rides Againââ?¬Â? by Jim Antonini is a remarkable novel that depicts the harsh reality of life on the run and one manââ?¬â?¢s journey of self-discovery. You will no doubt find yourself looking at life from a different perspective while relating to and cheering for the average Joe. It is recommended for readers who enjoy literary fiction that examines life, love, friendship, and the bonds that connect us all as humans.
He was no longer tethered to a world that had robbed him of his soul. Instead, he had nearly crossed the whole country as a wanted man, still ahead of the FBI�s most infamous agent. If these were his last days of freedom, he no longer cared. He had done it. He was on top of the world.
