Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Meet Ashley Patterson, the brainy, babelicious "computer whiz" and confused heroine of Tell Me Your Dreams. Although she has a cushy job at Global Computer Graphics, a fast-growing start-up in California's Silicon Valley, her life seems to lack fulfilment. She's lonely, shy, and absolutely convinced she's being stalked. What's worse, the only sympathetic ear around is her father, Dr Patterson, the heartless heart surgeon, who has the charm of an electric eel and the compassion of a tarantula. Given her options, Ashley looks to the heavens for support and offers up an ultimatum to the Almighty: "I'll make a deal with you, God. If it doesn't rain, it means that everything is all right, that I've been imagining everything." Of course, it starts raining buckets just paragraphs later, setting off a car alarm of an omen about our computer cutie's fate.

Enter Toni Prescott and Alette Peters. They both work with Ashley at Global Computer Graphics, but the similarities end there. Toni is a saucy, British vixen with a penchant for Internet dating and discotheques. La bella Italiana Alette, on the other hand, is a wannabee artist who prefers quiet, dreamy weekends with beefcake painters. Reminiscent of junior high school, Toni and Alette do their best to keep Ashley out of their cool clique, but find it difficult when a string of murders irrevocably binds them together. Based on a true story and laden with realistic details-- not to mention a whopper of an ending--Tell Me Your Dreams is vintage Sheldon. However, there is one necessary caveat: avoid moviegoer types who insist on telling you the entire plot before you have a chance to see it. You should be doing this anyway, but take extra care with this book. Once the surprise ending is blown, so is the fun in reading it. --Rebekah Warren --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis

3.0 out of 5 stars A real who done it?, 24 Oct 2004
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Tell Me Your Dreams (Paperback)
Sheldon introduces us to three women whose only connection is that they all work for the same hi-tech firm. One - Ashley - is sure she's being followed ... and things are certainly being moved around in her flat. At first she thinks it's just her imagination ... but! All three grow suspicious, and their concerns begin to focus on the firm's computer wizard ... an ordinary, innocuous individual (apart from his computing skills). Surely he's harmless? Except, well, he does seem to have this fixation on Ashley!

And then the murders start. The prime suspect, however, turns out to be something more than a single person. The prime suspect shows signs of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) - on the surface, an innocent who would harm no one, but beneath the surface there lurk other personalities who can seize control and commit murder and mayhem.

This is hardly a sophisticated exploration of MPD. Given that the very concept of multiple personalities has the psychology community at loggerheads, the law enforcement world tearing its hair out, and partisan proponents on both sides insisting that the condition does or does not exist, Sheldon tends to make some assumptions in the name of a good story. Apparently based on real cases, some greater depth might have been expected. In fact, the handling of the issue becomes over-simplistic in places. The book divides into three phases - crime, conviction, treatment. The latter phase is seriously unconvincing.

Sheldon writes in a direct, uncluttered style. The plot is simply paced. This is not a challenging read - which, given its subject matter, it might have been. In places it is over-simplistic in its plot and characterisation. The whole piece is quite cosy and coy - there is nothing here to make your maiden aunt blush.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Plot, Soap Opera Style Novel, 26 Sep 2003
By Veronica (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Tell Me Your Dreams (Mass Market Paperback)
The simplicity and style of Sidney Sheldon works well in this book that deals with three very different women and how they are involved in a spate of killings. It is a quick read as the paragraphs are short and to the point.

Where I think the book is let down is in the characters who are sometimes simplified and are never fully developed very well as individuals because of the short paragraphs. The characters often resemble stereotypes with Ashleigh being weak and miserable, Toni feisty and rude, and Allette shy and blushing. However, this is still an absorbing read with a smart twist in the ending - it's worth reading for that alone.

As an Englishwoman I found the British woman's use of language jarring. She says things like 'Buzz off' and 'Ta ta' and drinks Pimms. When it was stated that she has a delightful British accent I choked up. Since when did a British person say 'Ta ta' instead of 'Bye'? To be honest it seemed to me to be an unfortunate although vaguely amusing stereotype that was over repeated.

Overall Tell Me Your Dreams is a good book. It can be read quickly and is entertaining. It has a soap opera style to it with all the main characters being young and beautiful and the dialogue certainly sounds a bit staged. This book is saved from being too flouncy and light-hearted by a super ending and a more complex second half when there are a few surprising revelations and new characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only book I couldn't put down!, 11 Nov 2001
This review is from: Tell ME Your Dreams (Hardcover)
I never had much interest in psychological thriller b4; this book was a gift from an ex-boyfriend (!). I finally read it 3 yrs after we broke up - and I couldn't put it down! I finished the book in 3 days. It's amazing. Better than my ex, you bet.
It's about 3 women committing horrifying crimes - as detectives investigate, they find a even more horrifying twist,,
I STRONGLY recommend anyone to read this book - you'll be as taken as I was.
