Summary: Ideal book for holidays
Review: As other Sheldon's books, you can't put it down. The story is simple but well developed: he knows how to keep you interested along the 400 pages.
It's about the terrorist group ETA (Spain's most terrible threat nowadays) and his leader, Jaime Mir?? (Sheldon should have been more careful when he chose a Catalan surname for the leader of the Basque Nationalist Group). In their terror raid they end up with some nuns that become their companions.
You'll surely like it unless you're looking for a book that makes you think.

Summary: A Wonderful Tale of Self-Discovery
Review: Set in a time of political unrest in Spain, four nuns find themselves running for their lives from a ruthless tyrant who holds a lot of political power. All four women have secrets that help complicate matters as they flee their once safe haven, and they all learn very important lessons about who they were, and who they will soon become.

Summary: Four women caught up in the Basque rebellion
Review: Sidney Sheldon's adventure is set amid the Basque rebellion in Spain in the 70s. Sadistic Colonel Acoca raids a convent, searching for the famous rebel leader, Jaime Miro. Four nuns, each with shocking past lives, escape and find themselves traveling the countryside with Miro's band of partisans. It is a cat and mouse game of chase between the ruthless Acoca and charismatic Miro, who suspects one of his friends is an informant.
The action speeds along at a frantic, life-or-death pace, as in typical Sheldon style, there are endless close-calls and a conclusion that will leave you breathless and satisfied. This is one of the author's best, combining thrills, romance, politics, and ultimate justice. Fans of Sidney Sheldon's novels will definitely enjoy "The Sands of Time."

Summary: The sands of time are filled with greatness
Review: THE SANDS OF TIME is a great book that has something for everyone. It is filled with action, intrigue,danger, and a hint of romance. This is the story of four nuns in Spain who are driven from their convent (they are Trappists one of the strictest orders of nuns)and forced to make a long journey to another convent for safety. Taking the only thing of value (a gold cross) with them, they set out on this journey, and face a world that will bring back memories for each. This journey is the focus of this grand novel. This book is vividly described and takes us around the world. Sheldon does a great job providing a wonderful story in war-torn Spain. If you love Sidney Sheldon's works or just a fantastic novel, Sheldon's THE SANDS OF TIME is a book you should read. It's well worth the money, so buy it today.

Summary: Confused by the time line in the book
Review: This book has many stories that twist and turn. Overall, it's a good book from Sidney Sheldon but not one of his best works. I found this book didnt really follow the timeline correctly. Megan was abandoned in 1947, and the stories were happening when she was 28. So that makes the year to be 1975 which is before the Berlin wall collapsed, and many other historic events mentioned in the book happened. Reading this book gives me the impression that the stories took place in the 19th century instead of the modern time. It didn't give me the "cant put down" mode that other sheldon books have given me.

Summary: Who are the good guys?
Review: This book is a page turner, but I have a question: who are the good guys? The answer as it says in the book: "The difference between patriot and the rebel it depends on who is in charge of the people".
The interesting of this book is that at the end everybody gets what he or she (almost) deserves.
The book has everything, romance, religion, action, etc. if you have a long flight maybe you will read all the book on one sitting.

Summary: Not His Absolute Best Work...but good
Review: This book is entertaining. It is not as enthralling like other books Sheldon has written such as The Conspiracy Theory, The Stars Shine Down or Nothing Lasts Forever. I found myself bored at times when reading this and then in a "can't put it down" mode at other times. If you are a Sheldon fan, it is worth reading, but if you are new to this author try a different title first. He is an exceptional story teller.

Summary: A winner for Sidney.
Review: This book was for sure, one of his best. It had everything, and his writing was so well done you would believe you were there. You can almost feel the emotion come off the page, with each turn. This is an astonishing book that did get the recognition it deserved.
