There are so many things wrong with this book that the maximum word limit is not enough to go through them all. Sidney Sheldon's book starved me of any real character or emotional growth. Each chapter rushed through the story, skirting over any hint of character development. I couldn't identify with any of the characters or find them even plausible. Every character (and there were too many) was "attractive" or "intelligent" (or both)and the descriptions were cliched and lacked depth. The connections between the characters didn't mesh and I found it unbelievably shallow. In order to be fast paced, the author's sentences were short and bland telling the reader nothing new.It became an overview or like a synopsis. I haven't read all of SS books but i think, compared to his older novels, his books are turning into superficial drivel that Mills and Boon was created for. I don't know why i read this book and i have lost all respect for SS as a novelist.
