Master of the Game by Sidney Sheldon

4.0

I read this book a long time ago and I reread it out of curiosity.

This book is like reading a Korean makjang drama except that the main focus is on a Caucasian family and not a Korean one. It's intense, zany and the characters range from being questionable to rather unlikable, but they are unlikable in an entertaining way.

There's corruption, capitalism, greed and power struggles told in four stories throughout a century of Jamie McGregor's legacy.

The main villain shifts from Jamie to Kate and she is trying her best to be the big bad final boss villain of the story by ruining many more lives than her father ever did. When she raises her granddaughters Eve and Alexandra, it's pretty much Kate vs Eve on who is the baddest of them all.

It's quite a good read. I'd give it a 4/5. It's not a perfect score because I kind of hoped that Alexandra would do more in the story and not be there to be the constant victim of Eve's schemes.
