Book Reviews of Lady President
Book Review: Very impressive and thoughtful
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm glad I flipped through and read the first couple of pages of Lady President; the dustjacket synopsis did little for this exceptional story. What makes Lady President such a good book is the straight forward style of the authors writing. Mr. Carbajal writes about the senselessness of war and the way he describes future battles is painted with dark, haunting prose. Here the author talks about the future of politics. Will there be bickering amongst politicians when we finally have a woman president and there is a major crisis? A colleague of mine tried to dismiss the true meaning behind the factory and the symbolism it played in this story. But President Marie Arcola was cunning and focused. The way her character always knew she was being tested by the male dominated Senate and the other countries was well written. The fact that she had a speech problem and a hearing problem was also used with skillful thought by this author. Mr. Carbajal seems to know women from both sides of the coin. He also seems to be able to create heroes out of the most unlikely characters. Each of his female, and male, characters are different. Senator James, Senator Michelle Harding, Lauren, Tanya, Mr. Michael Kenny and Fred the ex-FBI agent are all minor characters of Lady President who take us back a second to give us a look at what is going on in this story. It is very rare to find daring writing like this nowadays. Mr. Carbajal approaches Lady President the way John Grishim writes about lawyers and Tom Clancy writes about international terrorism. I also see a bit of Gore Vidal and Truman Capote in this authors style. Although some of the other reviews from the televison and newspapers about this novel were flat, Lady President is going to be the kind of book to reemerge over again in essays and term papers with its controversial ideas. It looks like Mr. Carbajal is planning a sequel to Lady President. He took this step into the 'no girls allowed zone' with good intentions. One can only imagine what is his next move, now that he is the first author ever to put a woman in the White House as the first woman President of the United States. Just in time for the new millenium.
