Michael V. (VanCise) reviewed A page turner, but somewhat shallow on 1/26/2009 + 5 more book reviews

This is the first Sidney Sheldon book I have read. I picked the book up based on the suggestion of a co-worker. My co-worker thought I would enjoy the book since it involves a wealthy man's estate and the probate of his will.
There are some nice plot twists and some things that come as a shock, but the characters are not well developed and the dialogue and characters are not very believable. Sheldon focuses on the plot but not on developing the characters. I compare this to a Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons or DaVinci Code, but with less believable characters. Some of the dialogue is downright hilarious it's so contrived and unrealistic.
If you are looking for some light reading for the beach this book will do nicely.
