Rating:  Summary: What a story! Review: Always looking for a new author I can get behind, I took the advise of many friends and read this book. WOW! Normally I am a "Romantic, man & woman meet fall in love have a problem get back together" sort of story-lover. This is more like a rollercoaster ride of life. For fear of giving anything away if you read the book but wanting anyone who will listen to read this and be inspired to read this book: Sheldon gives you fantastic character developement. You have a heroine who you can't help but want to cheer on, a supporting hero who you want to like but for the fact that he's married, and a lead hero who you want to hate but just can't because he's to dangerously enchanting. The book is about a lady lawyer and the trials (no pun intended) of her life. During the coarse of the story I kept thinking how is Sheldon going to fix "all this" by the end of the book, and the answer is simple: This is not a story where everything gets fixed. When I first read the back of the book the last line was " they find a love that is more destructive than hate". At first my interpretation was that it was a love that could destruct hate, but now after reading the book the hard part to handle was it meant the love itself was more destructive to the characters than hate was. There are a million love stories that are "Happy ever after", I've read hundreds of them, this is love with some twists and turns, but every bit as fantastic.This book is very worth reading and grips you right from the start. Sheldon has a way with words that allows you to become part of the story. I hope that you give it a go. I look forward to reading more Sheldon novels! : )
Rating:  Summary: This book can be described as life! Review: This was my first Sidney Sheldon book, my parents urge me to read it, I though I would dislike it because I love romance novels with happy ending. Where love endures and my hero and heroine live happy ever after. But this book was not about that it was about a strong and beautiful woman who endured a happy childhood and grew up to become what she wanted to be, a lawyer. And a great one at that. She fell in love with Adam who was already married with a child, and then a mafia boss who help save someone she loved. Both loved her but then no one could save her but herself. She suffer greatly and over come obstacles that only a strong and brave woman could. Love I believe was her major strength but also her greatest weakness. In the end she endured it all and still held her head up high and did what she loved best. Reader this is a great book for the people who realized life is not about happy ending only but about enduring and staying strong but above all being what u want to be.
Rating:  Summary: I LOVE SIDNEY SHELDON!!! Review: I loved this book!!!This is such a wonderful work of art!! Sidney Sheldon brilliantly captures the struggle of Jennifer Parker, a lawyer, through losing her job to losing family members, a lover and becoming the mafia's lawyer. Sidney Sheldon is THE GREATEST AUTHOR!!! I don't LOVE the way that most of his books end horribly but that's real life and i love the way he captures it in such an essential book in literature!!His books are so page-turning that they stop me from doing my homework or anything else that's not reading! His books cpture the sadness, love and terror in Jeniffer's life that it kept me from sleeping at night!! [{{I love Micheal Morreti!!! He might be in the mafia but he is soooo GORGEOUS!!! He is like a dream man come true (except the fact that he's a killer and stuff... LOL!!).}}] ***^**I also loved The Naked Face and Stranger in the Mirror (i still have to read the rest of his books)**^***
Rating:  Summary: One of the best novels I've ever read! Review: This was the first book that I read by Sidney Sheldon, and I was blown away. I finished it in one day and loved every second of it. His protagonist, Jennifer Parker, is a woman with ambition whose career as a lawyer is nearly terminated by a man who later comes to love her. The twists of the story and the characters make this book a real page-turner, and Sheldon creates well-rounded characters that you'll laugh and cry with. Don't pass up this novel!
Rating:  Summary: Sheldon does it again... Review: Sidney Sheldon is one of my favorite writers. My favorite book of his was "Nothing lasts forever" until i read his "Rage of angels." As with all his books, it kept me engrossed in it from the very first page to the last. I loved the fact that i could identify with the main character's struggle to balance her personal life and her career. Sheldon's lively description of her life(trials and tribulations, love and happiness..)makes her a character you want to follow up on, hoping things turn out great for her. The turn of events in the book even makes it all the more intriguing. I definitely recommend "Rage of angels" to anyone looking to enjoy a really great book.
Rating:  Summary: I have never forgotten it! Review: I read this book when I was a teenager, and to this day I remember the story as if I read it yeserday-I am now 26. It is the best Sidney Sheldon book-along with If Tomorrow Comes-I have read. A romantic suspence that is engrossing, and emotionally engaging. It spins you into a world of politics, mafia, and sexual seductions, and above all a tale of a woman's endurance that love may not conquer all.

Rating:  Summary: If you only read one book this year read this!! Review: Sidney Sheldon shines with Rage of Angels and his main character Jennifer Parker. Sidney Sheldon keeps the pages turning for you, while reading this book i forgot that the real world existed, it is a book you never want to end with characters that make you smile with them and cry with them. This book is for every woman who has ever loved a man, and been torn between what is right and wrong. This book is for every man who has made wrong choices because of obligation. The best book you will ever read!!
Rating:  Summary: it wasn't as good as i expected it would be... Review: while reading, there were some parts in the books that was really interesting, so interesting that i couldn't get my hands off of, but there were some parts where it was kind of boring. i personally didnt like the ending of the book... but overall, it was pretty good!
