5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Sheldon tale of greed, lust, and vengence, 1 Dec 2004
By Kona (Emerald City) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Master of the Game (Paperback)
Sidney Sheldon's story of big business, lust, greed, and revenge spans four generations, starting with Jamie McGregor, who leaves Scotland in 1850 to strike it rich in the diamond fields of South Africa. He overcomes many hardships, becomes a millionaire, and starts the Kruger-Brent company. His daughter, Kate, pushes the company until it becomes a world-wide conglomerate, and moves her headquarters to America. To her chagrin, her son Tony wants to be a painter, not a businessman. His twin daughters, Alexandra and Eve, are as different as can be. One of them may be a killer...

The book is absolutely riveting, with Jamie's adventures putting him in a new danger on every page. Kate, the so-called Master of the Game, spends most of her ninety years buying and manipulating everyone in her path, in her relentless search for a worthy corporate successor. As in all of Sheldon's books, there is action, suspense, romance, and memorable characters that his fans are sure to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful story, 28 Jun 2005
By Sancho Mahle (Charlotte, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Master of the Game (Paperback)
I fell completely in love for the first time with Sheldon's style of writing with MASTER OF THE GAME. It is a beautiful piece of saga full of characters that are movers of the movers and the spices of survival. Human emotions are succinctly dissected, emotions that range from hatred, love, anger, jealousy, lust, etc, and when combined with the beautiful story line brought out such a beautiful story. Reading the older Sheldon novels merely confirmed my belief that he is a great writer.

This book attracted me to other sagas that are centered on a strong family legacy such as DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE,THE GODFATHER, KANE AND ABEL, TRIPLE AGENT. I am looking forward any time to other new works by Sidney Sheldon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sidney Sheldon was at the top. He was a Master of the Game.
A Point To Be Made: This is a somewhat unoriginal tale trademarked by Sheldon's predictable and telltale strategy of evoking shock by turning to archetypes and extremes. Read more
