I've been recently reading Sidney Sheldon - I'm writing an
entry about him for a reference book -, but found him largely
unreadable. Very thin and stereotypic character descriptions,
very little actual plot, almost all of the books I read were
only flashbacks on several characters and I lost interest in
the actual story quite early on. His suprise twists have been
no surprises to me, at least in the books I've read.
I'm now reading his first, THE NAKED FACE, which won the
Edgar in 1970, and it seems better. It seems though that
Sheldon hated the novel for having sold so few copies.
