Morning, Noon, and Night

Definitely kept me guessing till the end! Fast read.

5 Star Book

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.

Great Book!!!!

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.

Fast paced - kept me interested til the end!

MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT is another great book from Sidney Sheldon. The story starts out with the introduction of Harry Stanford, one of the most powerful and richest men in the world. During a cruise on his private yacht he falls over (or is he pushed?) and drowns. His children, who have had little to do with him or each other for a great part of their lives, are now reunited. They come to find out what their father left them, if anything, and they soon discover some shocking news: there is a 4th sibling, Julia, who claims she is an heir to the estate. Do they believe her? Or is she an imposter?This is one of Sidney Sheldon's better books. I highly recommend it!

Spellbinding thriller!

Morning, Noon and Night is another spellbinding thriller from Sheldon. The ending is explosive, with intriguing twists, turns, and subplots along the way. As with all of Sheldon's books, I have to finish them in one day, as I cannot bear to NOT know what the next chapter will bring!The ending is a shocker, as it is with all of Sheldon's books, with all of the character's "secrets" unraveling and exposed. Sheldon is great at keeping the reader cleverly baited until the very end. Sheldon sort of deviates from his typical strong main heroine character type on this tale and casts his light instead on four heirs to their father's massive fortune, with one of the heirs being illegitimate. Murder, mayhem, revenge, greed, blackmail, and hate all cast their hooks in this one, with some romance thrown in. As usual, the reader gets immediately drawn into the mystery and gets completely knocked off course just when you think you have figured out "who did it"! The action is non-stop!This book will not disappoint any Sheldon fans and I found it to be one of his best.

It leaves you thinking about it morning, noon and night!

This book was a flowing story of greed and domination. I admire how he brings the characters to life, you feel like you're actually part of the story when you read one of Sidney Sheldon's books. That's the characteristic of a GREAT writer. He's definetly "Master of the Game"
