Sidney Sheldon was a bestselling writer and television scriptwriter/producer. Born Sidney Schechtel in Chicago in 1917, he attended Northwestern University. In 1937, he moved to Hollywood where he worked on B movies. Sheldon enlisted as a pilot in a branch of the Army Air Corps, though he never saw military action. Following the war he moved to New York City and wrote both Broadway musicals and Hollywood screenplays. Sheldon returned to Hollywood, earning an Academy Award for his original screenplay for The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. He also won a Tony Award for his musical Redhead. As he continued to write screenplays, he also began working in television. In his twenty-year television career, he created The Patty Duke Show, I Dream of Jeannie, and Hart to Hart. He gained his greatest fame' for his eighteen bestselling novels such as The Other Side of Midnight and Rage of Angels. Several of his books became very popular mini-series. Sheldon died in 2007.
Anyone who has read any of Sidney Sheldon's novels will know that he is extraordinary in his writing, and this novel is no exception--as long as you read it with the mindset of, 'THIS IS HIS FIRST NOVEL.' With that understanding you'll love The Naked Face. Without it, it is just average.
This is the first book I ever read of Sidney Sheldon and I thought it was the best. I couldn't put it down. I was hooked. I have read almost every book he has written. Pick it up today and don't put it down till you are done!
This book isn't as long as some other Sheldon, so what? It was very good! It was fast paced and suspensful. I liked WAY better than THE SANDS OF TIME. It will probably appeal to people who liked MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT.
"The Naked Face" was a book that I very much enjoyed. It's twists and turns and all around plot was excellent. It left you thirsting for more of his immagination, you just can't wait to read another of his books. The murders that he comes up with are so real and vivid in your mind when you read the flowing words on each page. If your looking for a thrill read this.
I read this book about 4 years ago, and back then I thought it was quite good. Naturally, it has no comparison to Sheldon's tales nowadays, but it was Sheldon being born to the world of books, and even though he started late, he has already acclaimed a legion of fans in excess of 250 million people..and I am proud to be one of those.
