Review of Madam Vice President
[Following is a volunteer review of "Madam Vice President" by Julian Mann.]
The impetuousness of youth can often lead to poor decisions with far-reaching consequences. If only youthful energy and the wisdom of old age could be combined, that would be an awesome combination with great promise for a spectacular life. In the book Madam Vice President by Julian Mann, Vera Ochman is a beautiful 17-year-old girl who is caught between her grief over the loss of her mother and her father's sorrow for his beloved wife. Seeking solace and a sense of connection, Vera becomes part of a group of bikers who are involved in illegal activities. Felipe Sanchez, a charismatic and ruthless leader, leads them. Vera finds herself in the middle of a transaction that goes bad, which leads to serious and deadly consequences for those involved. Vera now has to choose a side to survive.
Victoria Pierce is a young, highly decorated officer belonging to the Marine Corps who played a pivotal role in the fall of a renowned drug lord. At a ceremony in Washington, D.C., she meets the handsome Senator Sam Eagan, with whom she falls in love. Some years later, Victoria is part of the senator's campaign to become President of the United States. Through a series of interesting incidents, Victoria is propelled forward to take a high-ranking place in the political landscape, but her past keeps coming up, threatening her rise to power and blocking her part forward. Can she outmaneuver her opponents?
There were several things I liked about this book. First of all, the plot was interesting, and the story was well-written, which made the book an enjoyable read from the beginning to the end. The plot was fast-paced and diverse; ever so often, a new twist added more intrigue and mystery that kept me guessing. I particularly liked that the main character was not portrayed as perfectly good or bad. She was relatable as a character, intelligent, resilient, and flawed. Some readers would either like or dislike this type of character.
I did not find anything negative about the book. The one aspect that some readers might not appreciate is the shifting between different periods, although the differences are easily discernible. The editing was excellent. I enjoyed reading this book. It was intelligent, providing a glimpse behind the political landscape, and nicely balanced with action, suspense, and mystery. I happily gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy political dramas, action, and suspense novels.
