Tell me your dreams Review:
Sidney Sheldon is famous for writing two types of novels. The first is the rags to riches story-line of betrayal and revenge around a strong female character. The second type is the political thrillers like Doomsday Conspiracy and Windmills of the Gods. When “Tell Me Your Dreams” released, he stepped away from the norm and went back to his roots with a psychological thriller (similar to “The Naked Face“) and this book was a big success!
This is a story that you will never forget because it has a shocking twist in the middle that comes out of nowhere. Now as I re-read it, I wanted to see if there were any plot holes reading to the twist, and I could not find any. This time though, I enjoyed the trial scenes a lot because I wanted to see how David tries to save Ashley. You can also tell that the author has done his research on the topic mentioned.
All the characters are interesting and dynamic, whether it is Ashley or Toni or Alette. David is wonderful as the main lead as he tries to save his career and reputation. The only character I did not like was the father figure. He turns out to be a devious character, but there is no justice for his wrongdoings. However, apart from that, I really enjoyed this book.
While this may not be one of my top Sheldon novels, it is nevertheless very entertaining to read.
