"Sidney Sheldon will always be forever one of my favorite authors. He just has a way of pulling you into the story so quickly that the book soon becomes hard to put down. The Sky Is Falling had a very catchy story line and extremely strong character emotions. I liked it a lot."

Quotes
-
“Sheldon crafts a page-turner…the tension builds and holds right through to a seven-alarm finale.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Kate Forbes narrates this twisted plot, effortlessly using accents and pronouncing foreign words and phrases from around the world while portraying Washington TV reporter and anchorwoman Dana Evans. In addition, Forbes varies volume, pacing, and pitch to differentiate characters from Aspen, Juneau, Dusseldorf, Moscow, Brussels, and Rome.”

“Sheldon’s entertaining plot has the feel of a James Bond film but with a heroine instead of a hero.”

" Un romanzo passato completamente inosservato. "
— Manuela, 2/20/2014 -
" It is good but not really unexpected. The saying that "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" came to my mind here from the beginning so I sort of expected the ending. "
— Karissa, 2/12/2014 -
" Thrilling and hard to put down. "
— Earl, 1/27/2014 -

— Sadaf, 1/27/2014 -

— Ashish, 1/23/2014 -
" this is one boring book "
— El, 1/16/2014 -
" slow story but overall a good read "
— Vivian, 1/16/2014 -
" Honestly this was the first Sidney Sheldon I read at the stupid age of 12 so though it doesn't really match upto any standards but I will give it a 3 for the first bedroom scene I read ! LOL "
— Ayushi, 1/9/2014 -
" The story is magnificent, it shows how trust shouldn't be given easily. The storyteller was so good I could easily picture each and every scene in my head (my favorite being how Jeff killed Cesar). Brilliant book. "
— Alwaleed, 12/29/2013 -
" Super-thin plot, no character development, and very predictable plot twists. I felt like it was set in the early 90s. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. "
— Ralwattar, 12/22/2013 -
" Good book. Finished in a day. "
— Kathryn, 12/22/2013 -
" I love it, as usual, another page-turner from Mr. Sheldon! I'm a big fan of Mr. Sheldon and his heart-pulsing books. The mystery, plot and twists and turns of his novels are a must-read! This one's quite fast-paced though but it was good! :) "
— Chen, 12/8/2013 -
" A very easy read. A good book that can be interspersed between heavy reads. It comes with a very subtly imbibed caution against the nuclear weapons. Kemal seemed cute and adorable. "
— Shalini, 12/4/2013 -
" Dana Evans...she had a strong character... "
— Yuniar, 12/3/2013 -
" I mean, it's Sidney Sheldon. You know what you're getting into. Reading one of his books--in one afternoon's sitting, generally--is the equivalent of watching a bad suspense/thriller movie. Guilty "pleasure" all the way. "
— Amanda, 11/30/2013 -
" that people we think are our friends can turn against us for money. "
— Doloresgraha, 11/8/2013 -
" love this book...read it twice "
— Mrs, 9/10/2013 -
" It's a good mysterious story about the murder of a family. Nicely written by Sidney Sheldon. "
— Lauren, 6/3/2013 -
" First time reading Sidney Sheldon. Hell yeah conspiracy! Too much dialogue, less narration. Somehow it's tempting to not stop reading it. Well, it's good for me to learn some vocabs and how the native talks. :)) "
— Vira, 5/18/2013 -
" Intorducing the character of the novel. Dana Evans is a newscaster who is very much influenced by the mysterious death of winthrop family. "
— Suman, 12/6/2012 -
" Beginning and middle were pretty good, but the ending was kind of drawn out and hard to follow. "
— Holly, 12/5/2012 -
" Oh my, what a suspense novel, I couldnt stop reading it "
— Sally, 4/6/2012 -
" I really enjoyed the story. I was at the edge of my seat. I hated all the "darling" this and "darling" that, totally cheese. Otherwise, it was great! "
— CherieLenore, 2/12/2012 -
" Twists & steep turns... But all is well .... Hail the lord writer Sidney Sheldon "

" I think this one is slightly predictable. But Sidney Sheldon is always enjoyable. :) "
— Indah, 1/12/2011 -
" Not a bad read but I invariably compare all Sheldon's books to Master of the Game and none of them come close. My fault I guess for having read that one first. I probably would have liked this one more if it had no cover and went in blind. "
— DW, 1/2/2011 -
" It is good but not really unexpected. The saying that "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" came to my mind here from the beginning so I sort of expected the ending. "
