Sidney Sheldon's The Tides Of Memory LP (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This book has the typical Sidney Sheldon flair for twists and turns as first revealed to me in his previous works. Very enjoyable, the characters are complex and their lives intertwine into a very fast moving and exciting discoveries of intrigue and deception. Though my favorite of his still is "The Other Side of Midnight". That is one of the only books that the ending totally stunned me and I had no inkling as to how it ended up. Like others have said, I'm confused by the whole Sidney Sheldon/Tilly Bagshawe thing. She thanks his family in the acknowledgements so obviously it's a properly endorsed thing, but is she writing based on unfinished manuscripts? Is this just her writing a kind of a sequel to a previous book? It wasn't clear on the cover, and though I'm sure I could find out fairly easily, it did make me reconsider even picking it up. This is an ok book. I haven't read any Sidney Sheldon in a while, but I read a lot when I was younger and I remember that the golden rule was that at least one evil character was always secretly nice, and vice versa. That alone took away half the plot twists for me. Some unfinished or just lazy storylines, unless I misunderstood them. Why did none of the little boys at camp say 'actually, she was looking after us?' Why did none of the staff? What happened with Sergei, who was paying him and who killed him? Who ended up with his phone? Overall, an ok book, but an often seen structure, and a confusing authorship. (Is authorship a word?)
