Rating:  Summary: sidney is slipping Review: A quick read but no real surprises. I was amazed at the number of errors which got by e.g a ship does not get under "weigh", it's "underway". He also confused Back Bay with Beacon Hill - no Bostonian would make such an error. The writing resembled a sixth grader's - surely the old subject-predicate, subject -predicate style can be improved upon.
Rating:  Summary: Enjoyable, Twisting Thriller.. Review: A very quick reading mystery, with twists and turns and a surprising murderer. As I read all the reviews it seems people either really like this book or hate it. I really liked it. One of Mr. Sheldon's best in my opinion. If you like mysteries, give it a try.
Rating:  Summary: DISAPPOINTING by M. Boucher Review: Another one of his novels that doesn't totally delievers. Something is missing. Maybe it's the short length of the book(279 pages, hardcover), and his over aboundance of characters. You feel as though Sheldon didn't take time to develop them. Jennifer Parker, Catherine Douglas, Tracy Whitley... were all great heroines. His latest, however, fails to win our hearts. That said, Sheldon still succeeds in holding your interest. There's enough of twists and turns to make you turn the page to the edge-of-your-seat conclusion. And THAT is worth the read!
Rating:  Summary: Certainly not his best Review: As an avid Sidney Sheldon fan, I was somewhat disappointed with this book. It is a good book, but I have come to expect greatness in his novels. It was much too short and the characters were not as developed as I would've liked. It cannot compare with "The Rage of Angels" or "If Tomorrow Comes." Still, it would be a good read if you are short on time. Sidney Sheldon is still the king. He certainly knows how to twist and turn his plots!
Rating:  Summary: Very dissapointed Review: Having enjoyed so many of Sidney Sheldons' books, and always looking forward to reading his next one, I was dissapointed with Morning, Noon and Night.
I actually felt ripped off, as the story was too short, it didn't hold any surprises, and it was too easy to figure out.
I feel he didn't put much effort into this one, and hope he is going to get back to his good story-telling in his next book
Rating:  Summary: Too exhausted!!! Review: Having read all Sheldon's novels, this latest one from him is the worst. It totally lacks the twists and turns that would catch a reader in a spell. It;s not character-driven and the plot is so laughable; one cannot believe that Sheldon wrote it. This novel is shamelessly stupid as compared to Sheldon's masterpieces such as Rage of Angels, MAster of the GAme and Windmills of the Gods
Rating:  Summary: I want my Time back! Review: How much can any one reader love an author with no sense of character development? They're plastered on the pages, little better than cardboard cut-outs. I'm to really believe Julia loves Steve because I'm told? Harry is a bad, bad man; thank you, Mr. Sheldon, for informing me (and sadly not showing). Furthermore, the author has little sense of environment and scenery. His landscapes are posters on the walls of travel agencies.Readers who enjoy a swiftly paced novel (the rapidity of the story line is Sid's strength) may enjoy the book for what it is. It's as if he took this good idea and, in his rush to present it, slacked off on the writing. The plot feels contrived, the characters vague, and the prose flavorless. This novel reads more like a first draft. Maybe, after some major revisions, I'll happily amend this statement to something more cheery.

Rating:  Summary: Not a very good book Review: I could not believe that this book was as bad as it is. I first thought it was me. Then I passed it around to a couple of my co-workers who are also avid readers. They could not even
finish the book. To me there simple was no depth, suspense
nor did he make the story interesting. He didn't even have enough imagination to change his book cover. It looked simular
to his last book. Did he mean to do this?? I think I will wait
for his next book to come in paperback.
Rating:  Summary: A VERY GOOD WHO DONE IT Review: I have just recently within the last few months started to read Sidney Sheldon books. My first was The Sky is Falling and I thought that was very good. I have read a few since then with my latest being Morning Noon and night. It was one of those books that just keeps you reeling, wondering what is going to happen next. there is no way that you could figure it out, cuz Sidney always takes you for a loop. This is a definate keeper and a 5 star book. I hope someday to read all of his books. They really keep you thinking so much that you just can't put them down.
