Well, I have to say Sidney Sheldon is one of my Favorite Authors, hands down. Don't pick up this book if you want to read casually, because this is a book that will grip you like being possessed and not let go till the you are on the last page. Great Characters, and awesome Story Line give this book an easy Five Stars !!! I recommend this to just about Everyone who just plain LOVES reading, for Mr. Sheldon Truly is and always will be the Master of the Storytelling Game for all time !!!
