My first Shidney Sheldon

It always feels good to be back home . It gives me immense security and brings back my old childhood memories. On my way to the station i decided to grab some ggod magazines or books . The weekly "Week" had an attractive cover story on "Hot Jobs " . but did not have much substance in it . The price of the magazine has gone up by 33 % without any change in the articles .. Then I landed up in a second hand book shop and i had quite a few to choose from , Archers , Grishams , Crichton .. but landed up with a sheldon as the font size was bigger and i havenot reallyread one . had to pick up a decent title too as i am heading towards my home .. i cant read titles like " The other side of mid night " infront of my mom who saw ne after three four months .. My next quartely advice will depend on my behaviour durng the visit .. So I grabed a decent one tilted "Blood Line ".

The plot is abt hw one Elizabeth Roffe rescues the pharma company Roffee and sons from being devastated . Samuel Rofee founded this company in 19th century in Germany.Hw he founded the company was the best part of the entire book. Samuel had his mother die due to lack of proper attention from doctor . Some 3 doctors treated 1000 jews in that well guarded village .. So he wanted to become a doctor . He grazxed near the house of the HEad Doctor in that village .. and got attracted to his daughter too ..He had to prove himself to the doctor within six months to marry Doctors daughter. He worked hard on the medicine but could not acheive anything for five months.. He almost gave up the hope of marrying his lover .. but Some how with all the difficulties he managed to produce a anti bodies for a epdimeic disease and prove himself to the doctor .. and thus Roffee and Sons were born .. Any Success after all those hardships will be to cherished to eternity .. just like GoranIvanisevic wiining the wimbledon !!



Since then Roffee and Sons had been a privately held company .Samuel had five sons and he sent each one to different couintry to establih the branch of his company there . As the generations passed by all son-in-laws to the heirs of the thrown wanted some money for one reason or other and wanted it to go public .Added to this some secret sell outs of formaula and a few fatal accidents to bring down company image ..

I finished the book in three days , but read mostly in the train .. The plot to a certain extent was predictable , but shidney did manage to give a twist in the end .Added to the mystery story line there is enough scope for porno i his work ..The style is lucid and the language is simple . ITs a good grab for ppl who want to travel
