Summary: Genuine Page-Turner
Review: This book was very intriging without being bloody and gory. Each character had substance, either you loved them or hated them. Larry Douglas and Noelle Paige were definate "hates." Also, I learned a great history lesson, too. Sheldon certainly did his homework on this one. Good til the end.

Summary: How weird art thou not to love this book?
Review: This book has all the best elements in writing. The best, I must confess, would have to be the sexual behaviors of Noelle! Man, I wish she were my girlfriend! I wonder if she got any fries to go with her shake! But on a serious basis, Sidney Sheldon is one of the best writers in the nation. "The Other Side of Midnight" is the book to surpass all books. I could hardly put it down. Whoever doesn't get this book, I say "How weird art thou not to love this book?"

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This was the first book by Sidney Sheldon I ever read. And I think the best! I have read other books of his, but this one and its sequel are by far my favorites! I have read them over and over again! No others compare to them. The way he writes is so wonderful and flowing I could read it all day, and often did! I found it very hard to put down. He has a way of making you love Noelle, even though she has done some cruel things. And the shocking ending leaves you hungry for more! Sidney Sheldon is my favorite author and I hope he keeps turning out the books for years to come!

Summary: WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE END..................
Review: I've read it countless times and it grips me every time. And considering the fact that I actually saw the movie first, (which was awful) that's really saying something. I felt for Noelle. It explains why she is so cold and uncaring to men. You really get in her head. And Catherine is easy to like also. Creating empathy for two rival women is a tricky thing to do, and Sidney Sheldon delivers with a punch. He is one of the greatest novelists ever. Don't pass up this book. The part where Noelle helps her friend who is a leader of the French Resistance will keep you on edge. This book is a great ride. I can't praise it enough. I read it in spanish edition....

Summary: Great Book
Review: I really enjoyed this book and plan to read the sequel to it. If you have NOT read the book do not read the review from [e-mail] from England , July 24, 1999 below because she totally ruin the story by telling you what happens at the end. That reviewer ruined the book for me but I still read it knowing the ending.

Summary: This book is AWSOME
Review: This is such a wonderful book I have read it about 5 times already. You can never put it down because you never know what is going to happen. As you read you learn so much about the characters and learn to love or hate them. Sidney Sheldon does an excellent job potraying each of the charcters own traits. Everyone should read this book because it has something in it for everyone.

Summary: This book made me cry!
Review: I might be only 18, but I thought this book was totally great and Iv'e read it about 40 times already! It's hard to describe as theres so many things in it! I like Noelle - she sounds really sexy and I like her character. I like the way she just dumps her men and walks out. Its also good at the end where she dies. Although, I don't think she should have died! It made the sequel more boring. Although it was good! If Noelle had stayed alive and Costas (the Greek one) had arranged for her to be 'let off' she could have caused all sorts of trouble in the sequel. Also, it's sad the way she dies when she remembers when she remembers when she was young in Marseilles, looking at the ships. This book should be read by everyone and everything. It's so gripping and memorable and Iv'e never read anything like it. I reviewed this book for my college course and I did so well in it, I got top marks and just talking about it makes me want to go to my room and pick it up again..... it's the only one by Sidney SHeldon I have, apart from 'Memories Of Midnight' and I would be delighted if anyone could tell me about his other books.

Summary: story was going ok, but what happened to the ending?
Review: Sheldon builds up the story in such a way you are really rooting for a different kind of ending, I was not prepared at all for the depressing ending...couldn't he have saved one of the characters, made him/her happy??? Very disappointed with the ending. Otherwise a good read.
