The beginning of the book was five stars but about page 300 it went to a one star and the rest of the book was a chore to read.

Whenever I wanna read a mystery or thriller book; I go to Sheldon.

The master of the game was recommended by myu aunt who likes Sheldon too. This was the second Sheldon book that I have read and this is really amazing and jaw-dropping.

It's a story about the MacGregor/Blackwell family and how they became successful in business.

The story starts with the 90th birthday of Kate Blackwell and she goes into flashbacks of how Jamie MacGregor goes to Africa to find diamonds.

I don't want to be a spoiler so that's all I'll tell :D

The themes of the book are revenge, murder, drama and mystery making me love Sheldon a lot! :)

Actually I got this book from my Aunt, she loves reading Sidney Sheldon novels and the book itself is old, hmm I love those old books.. So, I decided to give it a try. . It's been a week that I haven't continue this.. Whole week for exams and tons to study. The story here is per generation.. Starting with Jamie McGregor, then her daughter Kate Blackwell,then her son Tony, and lastly Kate's two granddaughters Eve and Alexandra.

the Main Characters, Kate Blackwell is manipulative. She wants what is best for her family to handle their family business though her son wants to be an artist. So mean.. It's pretty a long story of flashback to the present (the parts wherein how did her family became rich). I like also the twist here, but I couldn't help being annoyed at the main character, she's powerful and rich, but a very manipulative lady. She doesn't want to lose at any game.. She'll find every way to win. She's one intelligent woman.

You have to be a Master of the Game to get everything what you want whether it is good or bad, you'll find a way to get everything you want. And that is so selfish.


This book is good, but not the best one.

This was a reread for me this year and I still love it. It is so dark and manipulative and it is easily devoured. In any other circumstance you’d flat out hate Kate Blackwell but here you love her because she’s so despicable and all she’s wants is for a family member to love her company as she does until the person that does, is more evil than her.

El Precio de la Intriga es una saga familiar llena de aventuras, engaños, manipulaciones, venganzas, decepciones, tragedias, pequeños momentos felices y un personaje más increíble que el otro. Kate Blackwell es una chica Sheldon con todas las letras. Su padre también nos impresiona y sus nietas tienen una historia sorprendente. Sin duda es uno de los mejores libros del abuelito.

This book was recommended to me as a fantastic read. As I read I agreed with the recommendation the story of Jamie McGregor was fascinating and intriguing with unexpected twists. The author had me up until the point the story shifted to Eve and Alexandra. In comparison to what I had been reading I felt the story began to lack depth and became more about trying to make sure the characters of Eve and George were sinister, they were but without depth. Started great ended a bit disappointingly.
