MASSES ARE WRONG ALWAYS !!
THE SKY IS FALLING BY SIDNEY SHELDON
0-00-711481-8
Rs.100 ( US$ 2), There was pharaoh with his chariots and many lords with standing armies and a palace of gold, MOSES had his staff and fire and brimstone speech, with a few bonded followers. All masses believe in Pharaoh, I will be with Pharaoh, if he is present today in front of me.
Jesus with his fire and brimstone speech could not convert except 12, the masses remained against him, I will be with the masses if he was present today.
BUT I am wrong as wrong as calling day night and night day, I have learnt my lesson after passing of long time, much loss of life and after much violence, I learnt that these 2 holy persons must be followed in their entirety, you cannot follow them in parts you like and leave other part.
BUT truth do not come to us humans without difficulty, toil, struggle, truth needs inquisition to overcome, then only masses will realize the inquisition was bad and the sufferers are good.
This novel is one such story DANA EVANS is alone in believing Taylor Winthrop was murdered, his wife was murdered, their eldest son was murdered, his daughter was murdered, their younger son was murdered and made to look like a accident of robbery.
The whole masses of 3 to 4 nations believed all these people died of accidents, the police officers of these countries, the newspapers, the television channels, the investigation teams all files were closed believing these deaths to be accidents.
Dana Evens has a instinct, she does not go with the masses, she is a news reader on a big news television network. She adopted a son rescued from Sarajevo, his name is Kemal, this woman has a heart it gives her conviction and courage.
What can a small person like me say about the writing of Sidney Sheldon, he is a master of his art, I have read over the years many novels written by him, one thing definitely stands out in his writing he elicits interest of the reader, HOW to get a mild grip of the reader is a art all of us must learn if we want to be writers, even if we don’t want to be writers we can still aspire to inculcate Sidney Sheldon's writing abilities. Its a goal we will not regret.
How good it will be if we are just a love letters writer but still have the art of gripping our readers (hehehe) The most pure thing in Sidney Sheldon writing is his sentences are short, his paragraph are short, he just does not go about describing the co lour of eyes, or the shape of the nose, but his description carries a kinetic energy just below his worlds, there is action springing below his words, he says : grey eyes, sharp straight nose, eyes roaming right and left in his own office, as if he is searching for something.
See what movement he has in his words, we are moving in italics or bold letters or just plain common fonts, we are moving definitely, ONE page written by Sidney Sheldon can take you all over the major cities of Europe, all major landmarks outlined and his story is sprinting fast.
Must I tell you this writer deserves a Knighthood. He is a University fully loaded open to everyone, I will read Sheldon to learn the art of writing, Study Sheldon, We will surely know what sells, he has sold 25 million books of his writing, he has sold many screenplays, he has sold many serials, he has sold many movies, he has become Millionaire just by writing. He is at the top of his trade, he is there since 30 years. Oh boy !!! what a achievement.
I know D.H.Lawrance can write, but does he write as well for a Indian, Japanese, Belgian, Canadian, Hong Kong, South African, Ugandan, I think Sidney Sheldon writing is understood all over the world without a hassle. He is easy to understand, some places in India Sheldon is considered a writer to start reading to cultivate the art of reading.
Sheldon is great because, he knows how to sell his work, one last point places and people are so well described by Sheldon, we don’t feel like skipping the lines to just jump past them, be it Rome, Washington, Chicago, South of France, Milan all these places are inked flowingly, I wonder if there is any other writer who can do it as good as Sheldon. Without writing about female anatomy or the ACT between couples, he still makes his writing interesting and very likeable, its like some of our present day commercial writers can learn a lot from him.
READ THE BOOK : THE SKY IS FALLING, YOU WILL KNOW FIRST HAND.
Yo if crown is writing then Jewel is Sidney Sheldon!!!!.
