Victor X by T. H. Riss is a brilliant story with a magnificent plot. Filled with suspense and intrigue, it contains some decent plot twists. Riss has done a worthy job of garnering sympathy for the victim in the story, the dog that the protagonist rescues. Riss beautifully characterizes the dog as an intelligent, gentle, and patient soul. Everyone loves this gorgeous dog. The dog owners adore it, children love it, and passersby all adore the dog as well. Despite this, it has a tough life of abuse. The narrative builds more emotions in the reader because of the cruelty shown to the dog. In this way, Riss draws the audience in. Animal lovers will be keen to see that the animal is vindicated and that justice prevails.
