I’m one of those few girls who graduated straight to reading Sidney Sheldon’s classic bestsellers in college, bypassing the ’Mills & Boons’ stage completely after the Enid Blyton and Nany Drew phase,
So last month, I was really excited to start reading ’Are you Afraid of the Dark?’ the latest ’bestseller’ from my all-time favourite author.
What a bitter bitter experience!
Radically unlike any other book by the internationally acclaimed author, this one was a mundane, predicatable and one-track novel that was so utterly ’putdownable’, that I suspect that it could be comissioned work, and not something that’s come from the heart and mind of the great Sidney Sheldon!
There’s no plot, no surprises, no thrill and definitely nothing to waste hours over! Don’t touch this one from a mile away!

Really think I should go for a second reading of ’Master of the Game’, ’The Stars Shine Down’ or ’Rage of Angels’ to shake off the experience of this one!
