The Stars Shine Down

Summary: Absolutley gripping!!
Review: A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I am SO GLAD she did. My life, for a few days, revolved around reading this book. I never wanted to put it down. A few nights I stayed up all night, totally intrigued, about what in the world would take place next. Anyone who loves a good suspense novel will LOVE this book.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: After reading the reviews, I wondered if we had all read the same book. There was very little to like about the main character. She had a very difficult beginning, but the way she went about "raising" herself above her beginnings was not admirable as far as I was concerned. She began her "rise" by prostituting herself in order to get her first loan. Later on her business dealings, especially with foreigners, were unscrupulous, i.e. insisting on meeting while they were suffering from jet lag in order to gain an advantage. If you enjoy a book having a bitchy main character who has an affair with a much older married man, then this book is for you. I was very disappointed. Normally I enjoy Sidney Sheldon, but there was very little in this story that I really liked.

Summary: A GOOD READ
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. I was impressed by the style of writing. Sheldon painted a clear picture of how women can still be sexy, sassy and business orientated. This is a page turner.

Review: I'm a died in the wool Sheldon fan. I've read all his books, a few more than once. I like his pacing, a master of the page-turner. And TSSD is no exception. What I missed in this book is narrative drive and some description. It's 90% dialog which after a while sets me off to skipping to get to the end. Like all his books, this one is filled with twists and turns and a rocket ride to the end. So, I'll keep on reading all his books, even if I'm disappointed once in a while.

Summary: Sidney Sheldon is consistent with this one--It's stupid!
Review: If you're a fan of Sidney Sheldon, you'll probably like this one because it's inplauasable and stupid like all his other books. It's a lot like "Master of the Game" because it's also a rags-to-riches tale. However, all the characters are flat and the plot is kind of sleazy. It reads like a made-for-UPN movie. The bottomline is that it's just plain stupid. After this one, I've given up trying to find a Sheldon book I can tolerate.

Summary: Splendid
Review: Lara Cameron wants everything, but it takes some ruinous circumstances to make her realize she has more than she needs.
By 20, Lara was a millionaire intent on conquering Chicago. A couple of years later, takes on New York, and the world.
From Nova Scotia to Chicago, New York to Amsterdam, The Stars Shine Down describes the life of a woman who knew what she wanted and was willing to pay the price to get it.
Lara Cameron comes off as a flawed, lovable, and tragic heroine; Paul Martin, as a vengeful lover; and Howard Keller, as the apotheosis of passion out of control.
Sheldon gives a stellar performance; this is a book to fall in love with.
