Sidney Sheldon - The master story teller

Honestly, nobody writes like Sheldon. His plots are so tight and so enticing; reading his works is like going on a roller coaster ride. One moment you are tumbling down at great speeds towards gravity, the other moment you are climbing up against it. Sheldon plays with your emotions, literally. Once he has your attention, he becomes the master who commands your emotions; while you become a slave willing to obey master’s each command. At the end, you can’t but marvel the skill and the expertise of the writer. Few writers match his style.

But still, I wonder why many don’t consider Sidney Sheldon a good writer. In fact, the movie, The Fugitive, in which Harrison Ford plays a lead role, is based on one of Sheldon’s book, The Naked Face. The movie went on to become an international blockbuster. But only few know who’s behind that gripping script. What’s more, we are all familiar with the TV series “I Dream of Genie” and marvel at the brilliant genie, who by the blink of her eyes, does wonders for her master. But how many of us really know that the script is actually done by Sheldon?

Sheldon, with his inimitable style of writing, has in fact given the world some finest literary pieces. His name will forever be frozen in time. Just like his classics The Naked Face, Windmills of God, Master of the Game and The Rage of Angels.

Although he has left this world, his works - in the hearts of millions of his readers - will remain as vibrant and as alive as they have been before . Hats off to the master story teller!
