Sidney Sheldon "Rage of Angels"

Once i started reading i couldn't stop. I absolutely loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves to read!! The plot is fast moving and has a lot of twists and turns.
Jennifer Parker is one of the most successful lawyers, ambitious, intelligent, beautiful woman. Her life is shadowed by two men, both of them powerful. They are on opposite sides of the law. One of them is the politician and the other is the mafia boss."Rage of Angels" is one of Sheldon's rare stories that does not have a happy ending.

Michael Ondaatje "The English Patient"

The English Patient is a really wonderful and moving book. It takes place in Italy after WorId War II.I learn the story of the English Patient, but also the stories of the other three inhabitants of the Italian villa where he is recovering. Each inhabitant has suffered from the horrors of war. Part of the story is like a war story and another part is very romantic.
Very beautiful and unforgettable novel!

Dan Brown "The Lost Symbol"

The Lost Symbol broke sales records, becoming the fastest selling adult-market novel in history, with over one million copies sold on the first day of release. By the end of the first week, a total of two million copies had been sold in the U.S., Canada, and UK.
I have not read this book, but my friend (Susan knows that I like “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown) sent me different articles about Dan Brown and his last book “The Lost Symbol",
which connects with world of symbols, secret societies, art and history. The story takes place in Washington, D.C. and focuses on a secretive brotherhood, Freemasonry. Jason Kaufman, Vice President and Executive Editor at Doubleday said, "Nothing ever is as it first appears in a Dan Brown novel. This book’s narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, Dan’s readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Robert Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape. THE LOST SYMBOL is full of surprises."
Let’s read together.

She focuses not only on the lives of two young women (members of a book club) and the various characters in their small town, but also their families, friends, politics, and developments in their town and the larger world.

Richard Russo "Empire Falls"

Russo tells a good interesting story about little town and family in that town. This book is full of rich characters and their relationships. Russo's characters are so real and human.
I think it's not a quick read, but a good read with a dramatic turn at the end.
