Sidney sheldon, master at this book writing stuph, gives us the sands of time. Now if you read the brief, sands of time has nuns, and the guns. The action is thrilling, a group of revolutionaries are on a mission, and in the middle some nuns too run into trouble, both by the same enemies - the ARMY! So all of them are happily in the company of each other. The nuns too are a weird lot, one who was abandoned by her parents when she was a kid. Another whose mom, slept and fed another man, while she starved (gives a whole new meaning to being a gigolo) and another who ran away from her house because her pops made wonderful debts and she just fakes being a nun. So all of these nuns with hunky men. Good action, suspense, but then again guys you do know who wins in sidneys novel - THE GIRLS OF COURSE. So all our hunky guys are just background :( and all the nuns are so business minded that you wonder how the heck did these become nuns! So I suggest that you lend it from some fool who bought it, because as soon as you read it , you woudnt want to read it again.
