Review of Madam Vice President
[Following is a volunteer review of "Madam Vice President" by Julian Mann.]
Madam President
Julian Mann.
'Madam President' has all the ingredients for an exciting and nail-biting reading experience: political intrigue, gang violence, armed forces action, and American justice. In July 1980, the reader is introduced to Vera and her father, an ordinary small family. Unfortunately, Vera falls in with a gang as the girlfriend of Felipe Sanchez, a violent criminal. After being framed for murder, she has to hide from Sanchez under the auspices of witness protection, which she accepts. Life will never be the same for her as her life's trajectory is now set to take her to the heights of military power and political intrigue (under her new name of Victoria.) Some people in the book want to undermine or kill her, but the reader will discover that she is unstoppable.
The book is jam-packed with well-written and compelling prose, and we get to know her well. Despite realising she is not perfect, we still hope for her success. As she climbs the political ladder, will her past return and give the press the story of the decade? From 1980 until 2009, we follow her edgy, nail-biting story: An escapee, a killing soldier, a high-ranking government official, a mistress, and more. What a rollercoaster.
The book is well-written and intelligent, carefully managing dates, characters, and political knowledge. The chapters are nicely spaced, with headings specifying the month and year, which is a helpful touch. I recommend a bookmark for the occasional break so that the story so far can be mulled over and digested, ready for the next delve into her exciting life.
I enjoyed the book, especially how all the different facets came together (gangs, military, political, etc.). As I cannot fault the book in any way, a full 5 out of 5-star rating is applicable. I would also recommend the book to an over-18 audience due to some violence and sexual innuendo.
