Rage of Angels & Nothing Lasts Forever.


Its just by chance that i happened to read these two novels one after the other.
Amazing insight about the lives of a lawyer and a doctor is given in these novels.
Sheldon has taken utmost care to give the finest of details that makes the story reading more interesting.
To be frank i read Sheldon novels' for the way he puts female characters in front and the way he develops the storyline around them. These two novels were in the same lines with more excitement all the way.

Rage of Angels:

>> It holds a special place for me as i completed reading this novel in record time.
>> Started this on a saturday evening and am done with this by sunday night.
>> Probably i would have spent around 8-10 hours in this.
>> Jeniffer Parker surely a character with amazing confidence and boldness.
>> The courtroom scenes were thrilling and awesome.Every case she handles will be a having a unexpected twists much to the intelligence of Miss Parker.
>> Anybody wanted to know how cases are trialed in US this is the book to read.Such a complicated concepts are brought out with ease in this novel.

>> Best part of this novel for me is the phase when Jeniffer Parker learns about she is going to deliver a baby and the next 6-7 chapters that follows.
>> I still think the feelings , emotions, joys etc a woman gets during this particular phase of her life can not be explained more candidly than this.
>> Such a bold and courageous women changes so suddenly with careful approach to everything she does is just the sheldon's way of staying high above his peers is story narration.
>> From chapter-2 the novel goes with jet speed and just you would be turning the pages on and on and on before the novel gets over.
>> Must read for all sheldon fans.

Nothing lasts forever

>> The novel starts in a courtroom scene and since i read Rage of Angels before this novel, i just thought another novel based on lawyers.
>> But i was totally surprised when i completed the novel as it was all about Doctors and their lives and the stress they go through daily.
>> Again like in Rage of Angels we can realize that the author had spent enough time in studying the life styles of doctors and used that throughout the novel without disturbing the storyline.
>> Its a new approach to story telling by the way novel started and the subsequent chapters unfolds around the court-room scene of the first chapter.
>> It tells how much mental trauma (good) doctors undergo and how this profession can take a doctor to the badways like drugs etc...
>> Everytime Miss Taylor was called as a nurse the way she frowns at those people saying she is a doctor and goes on with her duty is one of the most beautiful portrays of self-confidence,boldness that women can have if they want to achieve something desparately betting their life.
>> Another sheldon-only-can-do climax in the end which gives more or less unexpected ending.
>> Worth ur time during a week end.
