book reviewthe justice
by angela hunt
i got this book while i was browsing at the library during my last visit. i got this book because of the political twist that came with it, and because it was different. ...i don't think i had ever read a political book. one thing that i didn't really like about this book is that it felt like it took me forever to read. and because of that it just kinda dragged, but not because of the book, because of my lack of fast reading skills.
overall i did like this book and would recommend it. for the most part it was easy to read. the author did use a lot of the white house acronyms which were hard to follow. POTUS (president of the United States) is one them and i remember that one because it's easy to remember. i really enjoyed the beginning of this book because the story line gets started right away. their was no big long introduction of the characters, and irrelevant details. the fact-paced beginning set the tone for the rest of the story which i appreciated.
the story takes place is 2004 with our first ever female vice president who becomes the first ever female president because the president passes away. daryn austin comes from a political family, single, and whose roll as VP was minimal. when she is awoken in the early hours to hear of the presidents emergency room visit, a few hours later she is sworn into the presidency. growing up as the governor's daughter she has seen the political lime light, and immediately creates 2 persona's. the political one and the private one. upon her roll she invites her college beau to be a lawyer on her law team. paul santana is a puerto rican lawyer living in miami with his wife who is a breast cancer survivor, and college bound daughter. paul immediately says no to the president and her offer because paul feels that uprooting the family at this point in his life is unnecessary, and that his wife would never agree because of her closeness she has with her family that lives in miami. when paul tells his family about the idea they immediately agree that this an opportunity of a lifetime, and that he must take it. that the move will be temporary and when daryn austin is no longer president they'll return to miami.
this book is intertwined with love, suspense, religion, power, racism, and of course political drama. the author creates the story line of all these topics while keeping the reader interested in finding out what will happen next.
if you are looking for something a little bit different, i would suggest you read the justice.
