Rage of Angels

• 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 development. 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! : )

• Sidney Sheldon's Rage of Angels tells the story of beautiful Jennifer Parker, a rising young New York attorney who becomes involved with two very different men - Michael Morreti is a ruthless killer and Adam Warner is being groomed for the Presidency. We follow Jennifer for many years as she becomes a mother as well as a lawyer for the mafia, all the while finding true love is just beyond her reach.
  
  Sheldon knows how to write breezy page-turners, and Rage of Angels is no exception. His characters are absorbing and the action never stops. Susannah York was not a good choice to read this story. Her upper class British accent sounded silly when she did the voices of low-life street hoodlums, and she read so quickly, I often had to rewind the tape and listen again. I gave the story 5 stars and the audio cassette version 3 stars.

• This book is simply amazing. I've read it several times over the years and no matter what else comes out and tops the charts, this one just stands with the best of them! Actually, this one may be the best of them. The story is so simple, so fluid that it seems effortless. I think that writers probably agonize and nearly kill themselves trying to write like Sheldon (and almost always fail).
  The story opens with a young attorney (very likable) who, through bad luck, finds herself in dire straits. Maybe I feel such a rapport with her because I'm also young attorney who at one time was penniless in NYC. The story then twists and turns (Sheldon is truly a genius when it comes to suspense) through her life as she experiences tragedy after tragedy yet manages to get back on her feet.
  The writing is straightforward and effective, the story is incredibly satisfying, and the pacing is perfect. The only downside to this book is that you have to put everything else on hold while you read it because you will not be able to put it down!
  I also recommend If Tomorrow Comes and Rage of Angels.

• 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 capture 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)**^***

• 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!!

• I never thought i could read 500 pages in a day until i read RAGE OF ANGELS, a masterpiece which captures you from the very first pages till the last page. I shows how life is not fair and it can change overnight. The story of Jennifer Parker, a brilliant young lawyer whose life changes forever by two men; a mafia boss and the man she loves. Well, JUST READ IT!
