I didn't get interested in this book from the beginning with all the foreign language in it. After that, I thought it was getting better. All in all, I didn't like the story. Sheldon is a well-known and well-loved author so I take the blame for my low opinion of the book. I suggest that you read it. You will likely enjoy it even though I didn't.
It was a good book.. an obvious page turner.. I couldn't stop reading it after once I started.. this was my first Sidney Sheldon book and I am looking forward to completing his series..
