Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon

Sidney Sheldon's books are amazing, simply because his plots are so well planned and brilliantly written, they leave you speechless! Coming to the book:

Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon. The protagonist is Jennifer Parker, a small town girl with the dreams of pursuing a good career as a lawyer, owing to the fact that she helped her lawyer father with his work at their small town, back in the day. The story also involves two other characters: Adam Warner, groomed for the United States Senate, as described at the back of the book 'destined to be the next president of the United States', and Michael Moretti, a well known and feared Mafia Boss.

The story tracks down various aspects of Parker's life, as a fond daughter capable of becoming a lawyer, moving to New York to live her career dreams, her path to success, how she is pulled and involuntarily intertwined in a series of incidents that could lead to her downfall. Naturally, the story uncovers the romantic aspects as well. There is a lot mentioned about politics, the inner working theories of a lawyer, the Mafia, and how one has to momentarily suffer before being provided with the ladder of success. It trails her relationship with Warner, why it goes wonky, her pregnancy, her relationship with Moretti and the Mafia, and how she sees no way of escape from what she's gotten herself into.

The plot undoubtedly kept me glued to the book for two whole days! I owe that to Sheldon's writing style. Also, how he chooses to reveal perfect amounts of information at the perfect time helps a great deal in keeping the interest factor high. For everyone interested in romance and lust will not be disappointed, as there is plenty of that too.

However, on a personal note, if you are one who enjoys suspense, I must say that you will be a little disappointed. While the story is beautifully written, I saw myself having no 'mystery' to uncover at the end. Especially for all of us who look forward to Sheldon's books owing to the fact that the ending is always a surprise, this climax is kind of a let-down.

All in all, for reading purposes, the book is great. The plot was well thought of, the characters were certainly appealing, but what did seem to disappoint, was the climax.
