Summary: NOthing Lasts Forever
Review: I would recommend this book to girls more than guys because it's more like a "cchick-flick" story. There are some love scenes, family issues, and just real life situations. A particular love scene that I remember was when the main character, Dr. Paige Taylor falls in love with a childhood friend. They always say they'll be together forever, but he ends up marrying someone else and Paige got broken-hearted. Read this book and find out what happen to Paige later. A family issue that makes people wonder why some people does things they shouldn't be doing. Like Kate Hunter, a lady that got rape by her stepfather when she was young. When she told her mother, she didn't believe her and slap Kate and called her a slut. What happen to Kate afterwar? How did she become a doctor and why did she get murdered? There's many real life situation in this book that makes you wonder did it happen to yourself yet. Have you ever been to a hospital and get scared because the doctor might not know what they're doing? Betty Lou Taft became a doctor by cheating. She seduced people that got in her way of becoming a doctor. In the real world there are a lot of people that take the easy way out. Cheating to become a doctor is putting many people's lives in danger. I feel that cheating is wrong in every situation.This book makes you keep on wanting to read until you finish. This book can leave you hanging after each chapter and wanting to know what's going to happen next. It seems like Paige was a great doctor, but why does Dr. Lawrence Barker keep on yelling at her like he doesn't like her? Did Paige have somethign that John Cronin wants? Or maybe John Cronin realizes that she's a great doctor, the only person that cares for him. Just read this book and find out. This is a really great and interesting book. I hope you will read it someday and enjoy it like I did. I hope you would recommend this book to others too.

Summary: FLAWLESS - that's the best concept for this book!
Review: Sidney Sheldon is not the same anymore. His latest books are not up to his real standard. That's not what happens with this 1994 wonderful book, though. The plot, wonderfully conceived, is a real thriller of suspense. The characters, the very well-developed three main characters, are just as funny and smart as your best friend. And actually this is the kind of feeling you get from the three doctors you have the chance to meet on this book. From beginning to end, Sidney Sheldon hooks you until the very end! That's the kind of book you read, read, read and want it never to end, and, when it does, you miss a lot the places and people you've met. It's the kind of story that remains on your mind for many years. The kind of book you tell everyone to read, and that everyone just can't help but read and adore. That's what you feel when you read the books by Sidney Sheldon. And that one is one of his best works! Marco Aurelio.

Summary: Terrible, terrible, terrible.
Review: ARGH. I read this one night, when I was on call. It was a book lying in the call room, and it was fairly quiet in the hospital, and since I hadn't read a book for fun in a looong time, I figured I 'd give it a try. It was an easy read, and the plot very predictable, but the way the three main characters and their experiences in their residency are depicted was soooo laughable I HAD to review it, so I could rant about it.
First off, I am a female medical student, and will be getting my MD soon. Let me tell you that this book, published in 1996, supposedly taking place in the late 80s/early 90s, is really terribly written. It would have been better set in the 60s or something. No first year resident is going to go into their residency as clueless as those characters in the book. Medical students take call. They don't work as hard as the interns, but they see how the interns work, so it's not a huge surprise when it happens to them. It's painful, but they should expect it. Second, I don't know of a single hospital (especially a huge county hospital!!) with an entering class with only THREE female residents. Maybe for certain residency specialties (orthopedics, etc.) there is a gender gap, but NOT for an entire hospital. Even in the 70s, you weren't going to see that happen. Female doctors are pretty much well accepted, perhaps a bit less expected in older generations. Physicians usually have PAGERS, and don't get overhead pages like in the book. And if a physician tried to pull off some of the antics that qualified as "good care" (ie. tricking a family to donate blood to a patient, giving false information to a patient about his/her condition, etc.) that person would be kicked out. It's totally unethical. And no one calls the nurses things like, "Nurse Spencer." The guy who writes this watches way too much daytime soaps, and needs to get with it. This book was so unbelievable, I just rolled my eyes.

Summary: It's a quick read
Review: I would love Sidney Sheldon's books if he would take his time in writing more in depth of the characters and stuff. However, I did enjoy this book ~~ it's not my typical read anymore ~~ as I've read his books in high school. I haven't read this one and the mystery surrounding the three doctors at a big San Francisco hospital is a gripping read. Dr. Paige Taylor, an ambitious heart surgeon wanna-be is accused of murder when she inherited a million dollars. Dr. Kat Turner and Dr. Honey Taft are filled with secrets of their own. While Paige fights for her life in court, the story spins unraveling the secrets of events that happened the previous year ~~ and the reader gets a closer glimpse of Paige and her roommates. Looking for an exciting read with murder, suspense and mystery and romance? This book has it all! Despite the gritty writing, it is an enthralling read. I couldn't put the book down after a few chapters ~~ I just had to know what happened! 1-17-02

Summary: A Very Good Read
Review: Sidney Sheldon, especially his earlier work, is one of my favorite authors. I could not put this book down when I read it. I loaned it to 3 other women friends who also said the same thing. It is about women resident doctors. It involves their trials and tribulations during this period of time in a soap opera type lifestyle. It has a suprise ending, which Sheldon usually has in his books. I recommend it for the reading enthusiast that wants to "escape" for a while.

Summary: First impressions
Review: When I read the back cover, it did not seem very interesting. I almost traded it in. I thought I would give it a shot though. Once I started reading, I finished in 2 days. I couldnt put it down.

Summary: Very weird read
Review: The dialogue could have been written by high school students and the characters are simple stereotypes who tend to be revealed instead of developed. Nonetheless I picked it up and couldn't stop. The reader knows exactly where the plot is going but it's figuring out how you're taken there which is so addicting. That, and since there are three seperate lives being explored, the narrative jumps back and forth, leaving you no time to get bored. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a read, but if you die having not read this book, you won't be missing out.

Summary: Extremely well written
Review: This book is an excellent story, first of all, when you read the prologue you really hate Paige, Honey and of course you don't know anything about Kat, she wasn't there. But when you start the book and you see how the three doctors where treated when they were young you will start to understand the present.
In the middle of the book you will hate every doctor except these three woman, and of course you will love the end of the story.
Is an easy and fast book to read, it won't take you many days to finish it because you will not want to put down the book.

Summary: Who can deny that it's a good fast read?
Review: Sidney Shelton has no literary pretensions as a novelist. He's a screenplay writer who has found paperbacks a good outlet for his better efforts. His novels read like screenplays in print. The language is at the 8th grade level, perfect short sentences with easy words. His characters are stick figures that we all know before we read about them - stereotypes. But Shelton shines with his ability to put them together into nice neat plot packages, where the good guy wins out, and the bad guy gets it in the end. This novel is a prime case in point. You can virtually fly your eyeballs over the pages of one-line paragraphs and tv soap-opera style dialogue. But you are always interested in what's going to happen next. You are hooked. The plot, not the characters is the thing. You know you are in for a surprise ending. And you get it. You might even shed a few tears. You will remember the story a long time. You will treasure it. Who can deny Shelton his due? This novel is one good fast read. So many other novelists wish they could produce even one jewel like he pumps out by the dozen.

Summary: GOOD READ
Review: I read this book a while back. It was actually my introduction to Sidney Sheldon's book. I must say it unfolded in ways I would have never thought and the characters inner thoughts were revealed through their actions, making it an surprising read. I enjoyed it. What happens to the roommates made for a story within itself.
