What do You think about Morning, Noon & Night (1996)?
Sheldon's Morning, Noon & Night was recommended to me by a co-worker. The story involves a wealthy man, his three children by marriage and one illegitimate child. There are some very well done plot twists and surprises in the book, but I found the book lacking overall.This book reads quickly and is very plot driven. The characters are not well defined and the dialogue is forced and contrived and hardly believable. The reactions of some of the characters does not seem true to life. For exampl

The downside of having read too much Sidney Sheldon is that you already know what to expect – surprising plot twists. That is why while reading this book I was already making bets with myself as to who the real culprit was. The thing is, Sheldon spoiled the fun for me as he already revealed the perpetrator early on in the story. Or so I thought. Because a few pages before it ends, something turns the story around. But still, the surprise I was preparing myself for wasn’t as that much of a surprise. Just an “oh okay” reaction from me. Nothing mind numbing. Nothing that made me turn to the previous pages so that I can fully grasp what happened.AND. I couldn’t help comparing it to Rage of Angels, which for me is Sheldon’s best, so far.Morning, Noon & Night is divided into three parts: Morning, Noon and Night. (Why aren’t you surprised?) And just as one day consists of a morning, a noon, and a night, one day is all you need to finish reading the book. Or less.A fun read. I liked it. Now, on to something new.A more detailed review on http://lynaireads.luigiandlynai.net

Sidney Sheldon is my all time favourite crime,thriller author. The never ending suspense and powerful stories are the reason I read His books. This book is a page turning story of a murder, betrayal, revenge and love. A proud person whose life mandate is that "God loves him and wanted him rich and his enemies dead" kills his own father because of his greed. He enjoys the life while he knows that one day his own children will do the same thing with him as he had done to his father. He make sure that his children will never be able to do the same thing and makes their life hell as possible as he can make. Their is an old saying that whatever you do will comes to you and life is a cycle so his fate os decided and his own child do the same thing to him he had done.The novels title portrays the whole story. As the morning is light and lovely the story starts with beautiful views and a simple story. But as day proceeds to warm and sunny noon the story also take turns and darker sides of characters are shown. And as the night comes and every thing ends the story takes a happy ending.
