Tell Me Your Dreams

Sidney Sheldon's Tell Me Your Dreams is entrancing as all of his books are. But this book also had a special touch. Ashley Patterson has a constant feeling that someone is stalking her. And in the meanwhile, 5 brutal crimes occur and her name is tied in with these murders and two other women Toni Prescott and Alette Peters. Ashley becomes notorious and known to all as the Butcher B**ch, and it is the duty of a brilliant young lawyer with his entire future at stake to try and clear her name from the charges. But it will be difficult since Ashley's DNA and fingerprints were found at all murder scenes. For many, it was an open-and-shut case. But early in the story, a dangerous secret about Ashley is revealed and its ramifications are slowly unraveled throughout the story. Some people called the book predictable, but I would say that in most books, the end can always be predicted but it is in how this climax is reached where the great thrill lies. And Sidney Sheldon performed that part brilliantly, dazzling the reader endlessly and at the same time discussing a fascinating and controversial subject that remains the source of heated debate among psychologists and psychiatrists. This is one powerful read.

I started reading this book at ten o`clock at night with an intention of reading it till 12 and continuing it the next day.But contrary to all my intentions i stayed awake till 3;:30 in the morning and finished the book.I simply could not put the book down. Sidney has chosen a nice plot and a nice concept here.I doubt if many of the readers would have heard of MPD or would have guessed it while reading the book. The story is about three women who are bizzarely connected in a series of brutal murders.the best part was the treatment at the medical centre.But the story has a whopper of an ending.I would recommend this book to ant person who has not read any book of Sheldon(although it is a little different from his other books).It truly deserves the five stars...

My first reaction was shock... It all seamed so unreal, almost made-up. But it IS real. This twisted disease (multiple personality disorder) has affected so many innocent people, and Mr. Sheldon did a wonderful job taking us into a realization of how painful life can be with this disease. My mind was so much ino this novel that I could literaly FEEL exactly what the main character is feeling, I started THINKING what she was thinking, and even tried to SOLVE her problems before she even tried... Truly the BEST of the best...

Once I began reading this book I couldn't put it down. I recently flew to Las Vegas and finished the book before I landed. It kept you on the edge of your seat. I also tried to "guess who" as I read along. Excellent!

For years, Sidney Sheldon has entertained us with his masterful story-telling. From "The Other Side of Midnight," to "A Stranger in the Mirror," "Bloodline," "Rage of Angels," "Master of the Game," "If Tomorrow Comes," and "Memories of Midnight." However, then Mr. Sheldon's novel began to faulter. His stories were weak, often sketchy and his characters lacked any substantial depth - all of which culminated in last years novel, "The Best Laid Plans" which appeared to show Mr. Sheldon as a writer that only cared about selling books because of his name as that novel showed no character development and interjected surprise elements purely for shock value which had nothing to do with the story. It is with great enthusiasm that I can say Mr. Sheldon is back with, "Tell Me Your Dreams." This novel tells the story of 3 women - Ashley, Toni and Alette - all of whom are suspected of committing a series of brutal murders. As their stories are told, the truths begin to unfold resulting in a suspensful, engrossing read. The pages rapidly turn while the heat beats quickly. This is vintage Mr. Sheldon as he shows us he can create well-developed characters and surprising plot developments. Once again I am looking forward to the next Sidney Sheldon novel and I am glad to be able to say he is "the master of the game."
