Summary: Great legal drama!
Review: A great legal thriller for fans of the sub-genre and fans of suspense novels in general. MacDougal is a very talented writer and her novel's level of suspense should make John Grisham sit up and take notice!

Summary: A legal thriller equal to any Grisham's

Summary: Splendid Technological Seminar
Review: A Technological Seminar of the First Order. Philadelphia lawyer Dana Svenssen emerges as a brilliant, complex, driven lawyer, whose technical, legal, creative, tough girl skills seem to know no bounds. Facing a daunting challenge in defending clients during an aviation disaster, she brings in the experts - and from them we learn. The technical knowledge range is awesome and educational. But it is presented in such a way that the plot keeps moving and the suspense heightens. As the author begins, "Certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man." (Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.)

Summary: Gripping from first to last!
Review: Angle of Impact caught me up in the first scene where the helicopter goes down, to the last, touching scene where-- but I won't tell the complete plot. A gripping read that kept me turning pages. For a few minutes I thought I had left the book somewhere and I was very upset because I wouldn't get to finish it. I enjoyed the love story between Dana and her husband, Whit, and Whit's courage as a kidnap victim was touching, as was Dana's rediscovery of her love for him. A fascinating look at the world of the big law firm from one who knows.

Summary: Viewpoint disguised as a novel
Review: Dana Svenssen is a corporate lawyer who has a very bad day. A Pennsteel helicopter has crashed with a private plane right over Alpine Valley, an amusement park. What makes this bad is that Dana was talking on her cell phone to her client who was in the helicopter. What makes it even worse is that her two daughters were at a field trip at the amusement park. She wastes no time and rushes to Alpine Valley to look for her children. Once she ascertains that they are fine she gets to work. Dana starts collecting evidence and taking pictures of the site for the class action lawsuit Pennsteel is likely to face. There is someone who does not want her to succeed and it will do whatever it takes to stop her. The story gets intense and has an O. Henry twist at the end of the novel. When the story reaches its resolution the author uses the novel as an editorial for class action lawsuits. She writes how big companies are forced to make budget costs in order to pay for lawyers defending them in all kind of lawsuits. Ms. MacDougal makes some interesting points but all this rhetoric loses the entertainment value the book might have had.

Summary: The story is clear, keeps moving at a good pace, detailed.
Review: Flowing storyline with well developed characters and scenes. Action keeps rolling with very few lulls. About as deep as a Grisham novel, with ample twists and turns. Very good narration with emphatic voice characterizations and distinct personalities. Hard to put down.

Summary: A real roller coaster ride
Review: I had already read Breach of promise and hurried out to find Angle of Impact. I sent in the coupon in the back of the book and was thrilled the other day when my autographed copy came in by Federal Express. I am usually not lucky enough to win and I consider thi a real win! Gotta go now, my new book is waiting and i can't wait any longer. Ev Alvis

Summary: A Spellbinding Thriller
Review: I have read Bonnie MacDougal's previous novel, BREACH OF TRUST, and was completely enthralled. However, with this new novel, ANGLE OF IMPACT, MacDougal outdoes herself. The novel starts with a bang, and never stops moving. I found myself caught up in the action, and unable to put the book down. Dana Svenssen, MacDougal's main character, is a heroine unlike any I have ever encountered, and I found it easy to identify with her problems and triumphs. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, high stakes thriller.
Rating: 
Summary: Boring
Review: I know a lot of people seemed to like this book, but I just couldn't get into it. I managed to finish it, but I do not recommend it. Boring plot, boring characters. Very little suspense. Don't bother with this one.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: I read "Breach of Trust" and thought it was very good, but I enjoyed "Angle of Impact" even more. This book was exciting from the first chapter to the last. I liked that the main character, Dana, was more take charge than the lead female character in "Breach." I didn't find Whit's part as likeable and was a little disapointed he didn't get dumped at the end (he doesn't deserve Dana). MacDougal could have developed some of the characters better, such as the other lawyers Dana worked with. I had trouble putting this book down and would recommend it without reserve.
