Having being an avid reader of Sidney Sheldon for over a decade, I was bitterly disappointed with this attempt at so-called "entertaining literature" . From an author who has given us such masterful novels as "Rage of Angels", "Master of the Game" and "If Tomorrow Comes", "Nothing Lasts Forever" would have to rate as the worst. The characters are one-dimensional, the plot is paper-thin, and at times I found myself laughing aloud at some of the situations. Page Taylor's only childhood friends were the animals she grew up with. Give me a break!! "The Stars Shine Down" was passable, "Morning Noon and Night" was a mess. I just hope that the "Best Laid Plans" is much improved, but then, as the title goes, "Nothing Lasts Forever"
