Sheldons Master of the Game - Bagshawe Has Done Sidney Proud

Advantages: Great sequel
Disadvantages: None

...'The Blackwell family were an enigma, rich and powerful beyond compare. Kate, Tony, Eve and Alexandra had a life of dreams, but their dreams were born of greed, ambition and murder. Now that tainted legacy passes on to the next generation.' Mistress Of The Game is the sequel to Sidney Sheldon's bestselling Master Of The Game and it tells the story of what happens to the Blackwell's vast family fortune and global domination as it is passed down to the next, equally ambitious and equally scheming, generation of the family. As you'll have noticed, this isn't written by the 'master of storytelling' himself, but by Tilly Bagshawe author of three novels, including 'Adored' and 'Do Not Disturb'. The reason for this is that, unfortunately Sydney Sheldon passed away a couple of years ago, leaving behind a vast legion of fans from all...

Review of Sidney Sheldon's Mistress of the Game - Tilly Bagshawe

masterpiece of sheldon

Advantages: good characterization
Disadvantages: none apart from fast paced

...Sydney Sheldon is considered to be the master of modern fiction especially in the genre of novel. In my teenage I used to love this novelist for his extarordinary and remarkable description of different places. Luxurious lifestyle depicted in the novels as well as extreme sex and violence. As I am a diehard feminist I like the condept of novels that always give woman strong and noticable roles and don't just make them sex toys. If tomorrow comes is a memorable novel. As everybody say you won't leave this novel until and unless you would finish it. The story revolves around The protagonist Tracy. Who was about to be married and ended up being a prisoner. The novel truly depicts the hardships of prison life. How she was being bullied by other prisoner. Her baby was also being aborted because of she was raped by other prisoner. How she...

...She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her.

Review of A Stranger In The Mirror - Sidney Sheldon

No Where To Hide

Advantages: Sidney Sheldon does it again
Disadvantages: hard to put down

...Like a seed it grows, slowly at first but the desire to control consumes all other instincts and death is the only way to stop anyone who dares get in the way. Another compelling novel which will entice you into the dark twisted world of the rich and powerful Roffe family. If anyone can write a book that pulls the reader into the characters lives, Sidney Sheldon has accomplished his goal. As with all his books this one is no exception as he puts a twist in every chapter giving you a false sense of security that you have already discovered who is causing all the destruction. Then with the skill of his hand he snatches away all your theories as he reveals each character, and how they are tangled up in the web of deceit. Bloodline An empire is born a long time ago. A solemn promise that no outsides will ever be allowed to...

The Sydney Harbour Bridge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...My next review is on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is perhaps one of the most iconic monuments in Sydney, if not the whole of Australia. The Bridge is the main thing that stands out when you first arrive in Sydney, its like their gateway into and out of the City, and with its sheer size, its something that people should take the time to look at up close and personal. History: The bridge has a long history, original plans to create the bridge started in the late 1890?s however construction didn?t actually start until the mid 1920?s. The bridge?s total length is a mammoth 1149 metres (3,770 ft), and according to the World Records book the bridge has the tallest arch steel frame measuring 134 meters (429.6 ft) The bridge is accessible by many modes on transport which include, train, car toll, and walking.
