Novel Books is one of the exciting books to
read with. It makes you realized that behind those abstract stories created
by
a novelist there are happenings in that specific story which basically happened
in reality. Just for instance, a novel was all about LOVE. We cannot deny the
very fact that even if how trigger the love was between two people they gonna
find a way to set their love free.
Eventually, I happened to read the book of Sidney Sheldon which entitled
" The Best Laid Plans". Sidney Sheldon was best known
for his exciting blockbuster novels. He wrote 14 great novels which gives him a
big credit to be known in the field of broadway playwright, screen writer &
novelist. He was such a very elaborative and realistic novelist. His book, THE
BEST LAID PLANS was all about LOVE, POWER & REVENGE.
The plot of the story goes like this "He wanted power. Oliver Russell is
fated to rise to the pinnacle of power, the office of President of the United States.
She wanted revenge. Leslie Stewart is his betrayed fiancée, a woman dedicated
to a single purpose—the downfall of Oliver Russell. Amassing her own media
empire, marshaling all her forces against him, she stands poised to destroy
Russell on the eve of his most dazzling triumph. She had only one goal in mind
and that was to not let Russell win the Presidency second time but she did not
know that she would fall in her own trap. This novel is full of
suspense,
revenge, romance, ecstasy and
politics.
The characters of the story are:
1) Oliver Russell (attorney-president)2) Leslie Stewart (once a fiancée of Oliver; a heir of many news
agencies)3) Jan (wife of Oliver Russell and daughter of Senator Todd Davis)4) Senator Todd Davis (the one who finance Oliver Russell in his
campaign)5) Peter Tager (Oliver Russell's campaign manager)6) Dana Evans (TV-news reporter for WTE)7) Kemal (a twelve year orphan from Sarajevo whom Dana Evans adopted)8) Lisa Burnette (the first one killed by overdose of ecstasy)9) Miriam Friedland (the second one killed by overdose of ecstasy)10) Chloe Houston (the third one killed by overdose of ecstasy)As a conclusion, The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon is telling us that revenge does not gives us a fruitful outcome it will just put us in harm. While power is not one of the best way to attain our individual goals but it was just a mere obligation to do our task. We should bare in mind that life is constant challenge. Its like a box of chocolates and will never know what we gonna get!
