Sidney Sheldon Week

Last week i have been introspecting on my reading. I am bit slow reader who is cruising in the pages of the novel like a tortoise. My desire for speed reading is burning. I am thinking of improving my reading speed, so i deceided to start with fresh 2 novels of Sydney Sheldon - "The Doomsday Conspiracy" and "Master of the Game". Both these novels are astonishing, I can't able to moor the boat when i am cruising in these 2 boats. Master piece definitely! Master of the plot - eulogies for Sydney Sheldon. Once i realized these eulogies suit him well.
Doomsday Conspiracy:
Robert Bellamy - hero of Doomsday Conspiracy remainded me of Rober Langdon. I admired Bellamy, a polyglot who can speak 6 languages. The fatcs in the end of the book by the author is fascinating. I sometimes doubted whether these things existed in the universe. It remainded me of Shyamalan's movie - The Signs. Good read for those who love espionage/spy kind of Novels.
Master of the Game:
Truly amazing plot fot the story. In the beginning you will be engrossed by Jamie Mcgregor - father of kate and his vengence to San Van De Merwe ( A dutch name i didnt remember properly - not good at names hehehe). It remainded of the movie - Shawsank Redemption and Alexandar Dumas story (The Count of Mounte Cristo). His sustaining experience in Africa is interesting. Then comes our heroine, master - Kate Blackwell (Daughter of Jamie). Her characterization and her ways of mastering/manipulating people, even her own son is good. Its worth one weekend spending after all i thought.
Thanks,
Soma
