The latest from the indefatigable Sheldon is full of manipulators, dirty dealers, and dastardly rascals, all snatching at power--political, financial, sexual, or all the above; in other words, business as usual in Sidney's World. The Best Laid Plans begins with the meeting and mating of Oliver Russell, a promising young attorney-cum-gubernatorial candidate, and Leslie Stewart, the beautiful go-getter who is running his public relations campaign. Just as the pair is about to be wed, Russell's mentor, Senator Todd Davis, offers him a deal he can't refuse: marry my daughter and I will make you president. Russell accepts and Stewart vows revenge. The lion's share of The Best Laid Plans revolves around the young pol's rise to power and Stewart's byzantine plotting to bring him to grief. Russell gives his phony wife plenty of opportunities because, like every fictional president (and some real ones), Russell has an unruly libido. Reading this book is like waiting for a train wreck, bracing for the inevitable collision; but to Sheldon's credit, the titanic scandal that ends the novel is not quite what you expect...

Os livros do Sidney Sheldon nunca decepcionam

Mais uma história cativante desse autor que sou suspeita pra falar (eu sou apaixonada por ele).
Aqui temos a história da Leslie e do Oliver. Envolve política e jornalismo, assim como personagens secundários incríveis como, por exemplo, a Dana Evans.
Oliver, um candidato a governador, mas que almeja mesmo alcançar a Casa Branca, arrasa com o coração da Leslie, que planeja se vingar com um plano perfeito, afinal quanto maior o cargo de Oliver, maior a queda.
Há tanta coisa nesse livro, meus amigos, sério, uma leitura que te prende, te envolve e te surpreende!
