Book: If Tomorrow Comes.
Author: Sidney Sheldon.
' GOD, don't let tomorrow come!!!' was the prayer that reverberated in my mind as I nestled on a couch quite late at night, hoping fervently that the dawn of day did not signal the end of the book. I must admit that this was the best book of the con genre that I have read till date. Frankly, after watching the Oceans series, I had not thought that I would ever find anything better in this genre. But, this book changed my entire perception.
If Tomorrow comes basically narrates the story of Tracy Whitney, a woman who is beautiful, brilliant, brave and most importantly happy. However, it takes only but one instance for the fate to turn the tables on her and she finds herself locked behind the bars for a period that seems to her like an eternity. And that too for a crime that she did not commit. (Well, I am not too sure about this. I would say infiltrating someone house with a revolver seems pretty much of a crime to me. But, yeah she was implicated for a robbery and that was a crime she did not commit). As she spends her endless days confined to the prison by a web of lies, there is only one thing brooding over her mind. Revenge. And Tracy is not a person who believes in letting go of the past.
Not before long, she is released on parole and she steps into the vile world determined to bring down all those who framed her. However, being rendered penniless, she is guided by only three things: her wits, her instinct and a voracious hunger for vengeance. Very soon, she manages to get her revenge and bring all her adversaries down. But for Tracy, things do not end here. Rather, this is only the beginning. A beginning to a journey that makes her the person she was wrongly convicted of being: a criminal. Having no ways to meet the ends, she is forced to resort to crime and burglary. Aided by her flawless beauty and abundant wits, she becomes very finest of cons and is soon tailed by the Interpol whom she manages to evade every single time.
Overall, ' If tomorrow comes' is a very awesome book. All the robberies have been planned to meticulous precision. I reckon that the rate of burglaries must have increased pretty dramatically after the release of this book as it is sure to have fueled a lot of vile minds with ingenious plans of robberies ( Humour intended. :P) . Also, this one is certainly a page turner. Not even a single page will make you regret any penny invested in this book.
So, this book is one hell of a fine read and I sincerely suggest everyone to read it.
