This is one of my favourite books. I read this book for the first time when I was in school and it was Sheldons first book that I read. Since than I have read it many times and it has made me Sydney Sheldons fan - I have read all his books. This book has all the ingredients of a great fiction - great emotions, great plot, great characterisation of the characters esp. the heroine, great moods and all ... Author knows his readers well. He know how to create suspense - how to pen down feelings and also how to put action into words.
