The Sky is Falling is not typical Sidney Sheldon. Its much more mysterious and suspenseful. I bought the book because I like Sheldons previous books. Its easy reading because you can put the book down and know where you are when you pick it up again. The book had a high interest level for me therefore I read it in 3 or 4 days. If you like who dun it mysteries, this is the book for you. It keeps you in suspense and guessing throughout the whole book.
