Sidney Sheldon is one of my favorite authors and I read anything that he writes. However, that won't prevent me from writing a honest review.

I first read this book when I was a senior in high school and I was so captivated by Jennifer's character and the way Sheldon builds it. She inspiring and in every chapter I find myself hoping for her and feeling with her... needless to say it's a good book. My boyfriend said when I was sniffling after completing the book 'the best made up stories are the ones you don't know are made Jo's and I laughed so much so I forgot about the pain I felt for Jennifer.

I won't be a spoiler but fresh out of law school, Jen is almost banned from practising law in New York and then she rises above everyone else's expectations and becomes a force to reckoned with, she is fierce. All through the book I kept wondering if she was simply unlucky or she kept making the wrong decisions and I've concluded she was simply unlucky. The story flows and you'll find that you don't want to put down the book because you want to know what happened to Jennifer. Like I said, read it a few years ago and was thrilled, read it again and I'm still thrilled. Sheldon is a great writer. Thanks so much

I remember watching the miniseries of  Rage of Angels  starring Jaclyn Smith, Ken Howard, and Armand Assante back in 1983 and loving it. Now, reading this book all these years later, I'm amazed how much of the story I recognized from that miniseries. Happily, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the novel at all (although I did tend to hear Jennifer Parker's dialogue in Jaclyn Smith's voice). This book is pure entertainment. Sheldon has a keen eye for detail and a gift for building suspense. I might quibble a bit with the number of Jennifer Parker's cases we delve into--a few times the story felt like it was bogging down in too many unrelated legal details. And occasionally, the story turned into a travelogue--as if Sheldon needed to justify travel expenses to the IRS or something. Another knock might be that Jennifer Parker and Adam Warner sometimes felt a bit too perfect. Jennifer, especially, always seemed to know exactly what to do with every specific case--however outlandish or unconventional. And I don't know of too many Senators who get to test pilot bomber prototypes, like Adam Warner does. But I like the way Sheldon shows Jennifer being seduced--both professionally and personally--by Michael Moretti. And although I didn't quite understand how she was able to justify some of her actions to herself, I could understand her fascination with Moretti and found him to be a much more interesting character than Warner. Overall, this is an excellent read that I gulped down in just a few sittings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Shelton page-turner
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2011

Rage of Angels, Harper-Collins e-book by Sydney Shelton is an interesting tale of a young woman lawyer and told in the inimitable Shelton style.
Jennifer Parker, a young woman who had been born and raised in Kelso, Washington, a small timber town where she enjoyed a most pleasant youth. She adored her father who was a lawyer more interested in people than money. Her mother was beautiful and usually too busy for her and eventually left home with devastating results. She graduates second in her class from law school just after her father dies, and moves to New York as a new Assistant District Attorney. During her very first trial she makes a horrible blunder that results in the release of Michael Moretti, the second in command of one of the most powerful Maffia families in New York, and the country. The release is a blow to the career of Di Silva, the D.A. trying the case, and appears to have been perpetrated by someone `paying off' Jennifer. She is threatened with disbarment so no one will hire her. She opens her own office by sharing with a private detective. With a great deal of help, including that of Adam Warner, a prominent member of an elite law firm, the disbarment proceedings eventually are dropped. She keeps body and soul together largely by serving warrants until she is asked to do a pro bono case for a priest. She displays her brilliance by winning the case and gradually acquires a tremendous reputation leading to a brilliant career. However, problems multiply.
To tell more specifics would ruin the story for readers. Suffice it to say, she becomes heavily involved with both Adam Warner, who now is being groomed for a seat in the U. S. Senate and Michael Moretti, who becomes head of the powerful Maffia family in a plot so typical of those that Shelton can devise. The story action includes scenes in a number of well-known `famous' restaurants, and world cities and resorts with a general ambience of wealth the author always provides. The book opens with a prologue that expresses the author's thanks to a roster of recognizable legal notables.
In summary, it can be said that Rage of Angels provides another page-turner to add to the list provided by this popular author. Reviewed by John H. Manhold, award winning fiction/non-fiction author.

I read this book over 30 years ago and wanted to re-read it. When I read this book more than 30 years ago, I couldn't put it down. I began reading on a flight at around 4 p.m. I read until early morning and got up early to jump back in. It was finished in less than 24 hours. I can't remember enjoying any book as much as I did this one and I have thought about reading it again, this time slower. I'm sure I missed details, but I was consumed in the world Sydney Shelton created in this book. It truly was a treat and I am looking forward to returning.
