  Review of Jake McTavish from TUTORLUCHI Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -(5/5) The Making of Jake McTavish , by D. M. McGowan, is one 1800s canard set in the west. It encompasses unique storytelling with a chronological tale. This western tale features well-developed characters that are wholesome make-believe. The book is set in such a manner that it is easy for readers to actualize the atmosphere. Without giving too much away, the book follows a young man, Jake, up to his marriage till his wife’s rape case and murder. Jake’s response to the varied challenges makes up a very intriguing plot.  There's a solid diffusion of ecstasy in this book. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the setting, but alas, I enjoyed every bit of the book. The language was easy to connect with, and comprehension was flawless.    I would recommend this book to historical mystery buffs. Ultimately, this is a 5-star novel and deserves the broadest possible readership.   Found at amazon.co...

I very much hope that Pierre Poilievre will have the chance to prove me wrong in that last statement but he hasn’t had an opportunity to show Canada what he can manage. So far he qualifies quite well as a “representative”. The General has been heavily ostracized for many of his comments but the items he condemned have already been proven destructive and those he supports in his speech have proven prod...
