Summary: I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.
Review: "The Naked Face" was a book that I very much enjoyed. It's twists and turns and all around plot was excellent. It left you thirsting for more of his immagination, you just can't wait to read another of his books. The murders that he comes up with are so real and vivid in your mind when you read the flowing words on each page. If your looking for a thrill read this.

Summary: Good for his first.
Review: Anyone who has read any of Sidney Sheldon's novels will know that he is extraordinary in his writing, and this novel is no exception--as long as you read it with the mindset of, 'THIS IS HIS FIRST NOVEL.' With that understanding you'll love The Naked Face. Without it, it is just average.

Summary: Who is trying to killed Dr. Stevens and what for?
Review: For those who loved mystery, this book is a must read. It grabs you at the beginning and won't let go until the end. someone is out to kill Dr. Stevens, but who? One of his client was kill because he was mistaken for Dr. Stevens. Could it be his lover that kill him or some nut case? Some believed that Dr. Stevens killed his patient even the police. Where should Dr. Steven go and who should he turn to and trust. This sick and twisted thriller keeps will keep you guessing.

Summary: Great Suspense!
Review: Great suspense in this novel. Sheldon is definitely the master of "What's going to happen next??" The book follows the trials and tribulations of one Dr. Stevens, brilliant psychoanalyst, who is hunted down by ruthless killer, for no apparent reason.
Dr. Stevens is forced the confront the possiblity that he is paranoid, but in the end we see the naked face of evil and find that evil in this case is a more messed up and paranoid face, almost beyond comprehension. Sheldon's work is anything but dull and predictable, and I highly recommend it.

Like his latest novel, it's an easy read, but what a great unrelenting rollercoaster ride!

Summary: A GOOD START! by M. Boucher
Review: His first novel and my introduction to Sheldon. Not as hip as his other novels, but still worth the time. You'll never guess who did it!

Rating:
Summary: Somewhat Predictable
Review: I enjoyed reading The Naked Face, but it was somewhat predictable. There is one surprising twist at the end, but overall it is not Sheldon's best. From the beginning it is obvious that he is setting up one character to be the downfall of Judd Stevens, and I was disappointed when I reached the end and it turned out I was right. But maybe I've just read too many murder mysteries...

Summary: I can't believe this book ever existed!!!
Review: I have read this novel maybe 5-6 years ago and it is not the usual page turner the author is well-known for. Totally boring and misleading. The book speaks for itself - Naked - without substance.

Rating:
Summary: Best first mystery!
Review: I read this book about 4 years ago, and back then I thought it was quite good. Naturally, it has no comparison to Sheldon's tales nowadays, but it was Sheldon being born to the world of books, and even though he started late, he has already acclaimed a legion of fans in excess of 250 million people..and I am proud to be one of those.

Rating:
Summary: A first novel if ever there was one
Review: I've read one other Sheldon novel and have to say that I thought Bloodline was excellent. The Naked Face kept me interest enough to read it at one go but it was definitely a first novel: too many attempts at repetition by way of trying to help the reader to remember/appreciate what happened a few pages ago for my liking.

A good story reasonably well told.
