Title: Gods and Fathers Author: James LePore Publisher: The Story Plant Published: 2.7.12 Pages: 261 SUMMARY: Matt DeMarco is an accomplished Manhattan attorney with more than his share of emotional baggage. His marriage ended disastrously, his ex-wife has pulled their son away from him, and her remarriage to a hugely successful Arab businessman has created complications for Matt on multiple levels. However, his life shifts from troubled to imperiled when two cops – men he's known for a long time – come into his home and arrest his son as the prime suspect in the murder of the boy's girlfriend. Review: Gods and Fathers is a very gritty, complex story. I really enjoyed the way that the character's develope throughout the story. We get action, suspense, and so much drama, that you find yourself completely immersed in the story. Its got to make you feel horrible when your ex wife marries someone that makes you feel like a lesser man by giving you son everything you know you can't. This is what happens between Matt and his son Michael. As the story continues, you can really feel the heartache between father and son over having such a poor relationship. I love the fact that everyone has their own dark past and things they'd rather not have come to light. That includes Matt's exwife, and his past lover. This story has so many twists and turns and becomes an incredible cat and mouse chase with Matt trying to do everything possible to save his son. (What parent wouldn't?) Terrorist's are involved as well as revenge. How great does that sound?! Even though there were moments in which I'd get the secondary characters a bit mixed up, the story itself is amazing. My rating: 4 stars. I'd recommend this book to anyone. -Sarita |
