Sidney Sheldon has an awesome imagination and he knows how to write. I will read some more of his books when I get the chance, but right now I am still struggling to get through Sands of Time. Maybe it will get better as I get further into the book.

The issue of multiple personality disorder has been something I have been interested in since I was little, and to read a piece of fiction based on truth was fascinating.Unfortunately, I skipped and read the ending before I read the first few chapters, which is why the "shock" of the book was ruined for me - I recommend you read it from beginning to end and not skip around like I did!!!

I didn't intend to read it, but couldn't put it down from the minute I started it till I finished it. Multiple personalities is something all of us have to some degree. Sheldon weaves this into his characters in such a way that becomes fasinating as we recognize fairly common but distinct personality types, perhaps that of our own at one time or another. It's a fast read with a Sidney Sheldon surprise ending of course. Get's you thinking.

Tell me your Dreams is an excellent piece of work, where Sydney Sheldom, in an excellent novel, conveys the reader about the possibility that the psychiatric illness MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) indeed exists, and that there might be a medical and psychiatric panacea for it. He also conveys that many of the crimes commited around the world can be a mere consequence of the MPD desease. I understand the fact that other of his novels end up with a lot more suspense, but only in Tell Me your dreams, Sheldom shows he has done his work researching and even writes down the bibliography . From my point of view, and I have read al lot of Sheldom's books, "Tell me your Dreams" is the best of them all. Just go, buy it, and read it!

I'm a huge Sidney Sheldon fan, and just put off reading this one til recently because I generally don't like trial stories. The trial was pretty minor but the plot really sagged after the one big revelation. After the trial, it was mainly just revealing minor details in a predictable denouement.

Ashley, the core personality is rather conservative and not very inspiring. This book is not inspiring and is the kind of thing you read on an airplane. Light and facile, it is not meant to be used for serious purposes. Toni Prescott is her free spirited, English personality. A angry man hater, Toni has been known to attack men where they are most vulnerable and always with devastating consequences. Alette Peters is Ashley's Italian counterpart. A shy, inwardly focussed painter, Alette runs from men like a rabbit from a pack of hounds. Alette is also fluent in Italian. She and Toni are mirror opposites. Ashley cannot account for certain purchases and her whereabouts. She is arrested for a series of heinous atrocities to men and ends up in jail. Enter her lawyer, his wife and his colleague. In fact, this trio of winners were the only characters I did like. I absolutely loved these three. They worked tirelessly on their client's behalf and it is through their efforts that Ashley ended up in a hospital across country instead of in prison. This tired story with its routine sexcapades (all Sidney Sheldon books have graphic sexual encounters), trashy story and tritely written plot is vintage, standard Sheldon. Since it is about MPD/DID, it is not meant to be a diagnostic tool. It is simplistic and surfacy and skates around this condition. Instead, it relies heavily upon cliches and stereotypes in discussing this condition. I think Sheldon's writing should be limited to shopping lists. Maybe a palm pilot would be giving him more than he needs. His books are just too trashy for me.

Being a first time reader of Sidney Sheldon I was very impressed with his work. The book was very well written and I recommend anyone thats up for a good read to read it.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: This book is the best! Review: I recently read this book for my high school english class. I'm only fifteen so I wasnt sure I would enjoy it too much. It was great to get away from the everyday sports books I read now. I will definitely read more Sheldon books.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Very Good-I'll definitely read more Sheldon Review: This is the very first Sheldon book that I read. A co-worker told me about it and said that it was really good and she was right. This is a very good book. It's divided into three parts and the first and second parts were the best (I'll admit, the ending was a little stale and unbelievable). I thought Ashley was a pretty good heroine. Based on this book, I will definitely read more of Sheldon's books (I'm already reading The Best Laid Plans now). So if you've never read a Sheldon book, before, read this. You'll get hooked.

I found that and a few other "minor" details over looked. may be i was a little too critical ..i did like it.. i just found it ..well.....simple.. .i hope the next i read by him will be better...but i WILL read him again...he is an easy read...
