5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!!!!, April 27, 2001

By

Angela (Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)

Sidney Sheldon, the best author in the world, will not disappoint any of his readers with this book. Morning, Noon, and Night is another intriguing, fast-paced thriller. There are innumerable plot twists, and the end is no less shocking. As with most of Sheldon's books, every chapter ended with a cliffhanger, keeping the reader interested in what the next chapter will bring.

This book revolves around a very wealthy and influential family known as the Stanfords. When the father dies, his children, the three heirs to the fortune, are shocked to find that they may have and illegitimate sister with whom they must share their wealth. This family carries out all of the major components of a great action novel: murder, revenge, greed, blackmail, and a splash of romance.

Although shorter than the average Sidney Sheldon novel, Morning Noon and Night has no less an impact. The short nature of the book actually gives it a sense of urgency. A combination of these elements kept me constantly reading. I finished this book in a little more than four hours.

Morning, Noon, and Night is a masterpiece, even for an author as brilliant as sheldon. No Sheldon fan will be disappointed with this work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy, January 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)

The plot lacks integrity. There are so many errors that made me wander if the book had been edited at all! Also, I believe that the author should've spent an extra 50-100 pages to better develop characters and settings. Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading the book with its many twists & turns. Mr. Sheldon seems to be a very talanted story teller who just needs a better editor. This was my first Sidney Sheldon book, and it would have been the last except that based on the good reviews that I've read here on Amazon , I'm willing to give his "Master of the Game" or "Rage of Angles" a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding thriller!, September 28, 2000

(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Morning, Noon & Night (Mass Market Paperback)

Morning, Noon and Night is another spellbinding thriller from Sheldon. The ending is explosive, with intriguing twists, turns, and subplots along the way. As with all of Sheldon's books, I have to finish them in one day, as I cannot bear to NOT know what the next chapter will bring!

The ending is a shocker, as it is with all of Sheldon's books, with all of the character's "secrets" unraveling and exposed. Sheldon is great at keeping the reader cleverly baited until the very end. Sheldon sort of deviates from his typical strong main heroine character type on this tale and casts his light instead on four heirs to their father's massive fortune, with one of the heirs being illegitimate. Murder, mayhem, revenge, greed, blackmail, and hate all cast their hooks in this one, with some romance thrown in. As usual, the reader gets immediately drawn into the mystery and gets completely knocked off course just when you think you have figured out "who did it"! The action is non-stop!

This book will not disappoint any Sheldon fans and I found it to be one of his best.
