Morning Noon and Night

Rating:
Summary: 5 Star Book
Review: I have never read a book like,"Morning, Noon, and Night." Sidney Sheldon did an exquisite job on the plot. The story revolved around a billion dollar man named Harry Stanford. He had four children. Three by his wife and one by another woman he had an affair with. Harry was brutal towards his children. He had no faith in them and had no love for them. His wife committed suicide no longer after Harry's affair. She could tolerate his abuse no longer. Stanford was in for it big time. Many people were out to get him. Only, the outcome of his death is the most crucial part of the book. I will put it this way: Stanford had a will that was being divided three ways, or maybe even four.

The content was a definate pleasure in the story. Fraud, suicide, murder, drugs, sex,and swearing were main points. The most surprising of all the themes is undeniably the fraud. Sidney Sheldon described the fraud so flawlessly, that even the closest reader could not have caught the drift. His tricks on your mind threw the curves desired in a priceless novel. The suicides were undoubtfully enormous cases of irony. Irony just makes a story twice as much fun. Last but not least, advanced audiences aren't left out. The sexuality and sexual themes were existant and quite vivid. These themes makes a premium read that much better.

I definately, recommend this book,"Morning, Noon, and Night", to anyone and everyone. Sheldon, unmistakenably, has the most original style I have ever seen a writer have. Sheldon has major capacity and skills. It's a quick read, because it never drops to a broing read. Also, a reader must read and comprehend most details. It always leaves you thinking and guessing. This book, is one of the best I have ever read, and I do indeed recommend this book to everyone who is literate.

Summary: Great Book!!!!
Review: Sidney Sheldon, the best author in the world, will not disappoint any of his readers with this book. Morning, Noon, and Night is another intriguing, fast-paced thriller. There are innumerable plot twists, and the end is no less shocking. As with most of Sheldon's books, every chapter ended with a cliffhanger, keeping the reader interested in what the next chapter will bring.

This book revolves around a very wealthy and influential family known as the Stanfords. When the father dies, his children, the three heirs to the fortune, are shocked to find that they may have and illegitimate sister with whom they must share their wealth. This family carries out all of the major components of a great action novel: murder, revenge, greed, blackmail, and a splash of romance.

Although shorter than the average Sidney Sheldon novel, Morning Noon and Night has no less an impact. The short nature of the book actually gives it a sense of urgency. A combination of these elements kept me constantly reading. I finished this book in a little more than four hours.

Morning, Noon, and Night is a masterpiece, even for an author as brilliant as sheldon. No Sheldon fan will be disappointed with this work.

Summary: A 4 star review...
Review: This book revolves around a very wealthy man, Harry Stanford and his three legitimate children, {Tyler, Woody and Kendal} and one illegitimate {Julia} child born to him and the live in nanny. It turns out that Harry Stanford is not a very nice Billionaire. He cheated on his wife pretty regular. So much so that she committed suicide after he and the live in Nanny made a baby. His three children blamed him for their mothers' death. After which the nanny leaves town before the child is born. After the child is born Harry makes it a point to completely ignore her very existence.

The three children and their father were a severely dysfunctional family. The father hated his children and treated as bad as possible. When the children would have cling to each other for support and bonded together, Harry separated them and sent all three off to different schools. When Harry Stanford turns up dead, {an accident????? Nope.} the sibling reunion while not really a sad occasion is very strained due to the fact that they are virtual strangers to one another. And all three are hiding very dirty little secrets of their own. These secrets start coming out one by one when Julia shows up right before the reading of their fathers will...

While a somewhat enjoyable and interesting read I was able to figure out who did what to whom very quickly so there were no real surprises for me throughout the novel. I would still recommend this book however, because I am a big fan of Sidney and have yet to be disappointed by this author. {Note: This is my fourth novel by this author.}
