The Other Side of Midnight is Sidney Sheldon at his best. This page-turner is full of tortured romantic entanglements, reverses of fortune, thrilling suspense, and ultimate justice. In Paris, Washington, and a fabulous villa in Greece, an innocent American becomes a bewildered, horror-stricken pawn in a game of vengeance and betrayal. She is Catherine Douglas, a woman caught in a web of four lives intertwined by passion as her handsome husband pursues an incredibly beautiful film star . . . and as Constantin Demeris, a legendary Greek tycoon, tightens the strands that control them all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Literary cotton candy but who's complaining? Sometimes fluff is fun,
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024

I used to read Sidney Sheldon's books from time to time but then gave up the habit like one would give up junk food. Having recently come across The Other Side of Midnight by chance, I decided to read it again. It was no surprise to me that my memories of the plot, dialogue, and characters were still pretty sharp. It's easy--just imagine the most broadly written cliche' you can think of and you'll see everything that's coming from a mile away.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of this novel is "over the top". Especially the characters. One of the women isn't just beautiful, her beauty actually transcends beauty. There are no adjectives worthy of describing her face, her hair, her eyes, her body. She's not just smart, she is the most genius-level IQ person you've ever heard of. A gourmet cook with a Branson-level flair for business and finance and as gutsy a risk-taker as one can possibly be. The other woman is no slouch, either, and of course the man they both love is every woman's fantasy. Well, except for the is-he-or-isn't-he-a-killer part. Don't worry, that's not a spoiler. You learn that in the first few pages.

Despite my seemingly contemptuous opinion of this book, I did thoroughly enjoy it. It's prosaism and you know it's prosaism before you get past the first chapter, but it's cringe-filled fun. It's like reading a trashy gossip magazine. You can almost hear your eyes begging you to go read Tolstoy, but you just can't help it. Perhaps you, like I, will gobble up every word and then immediately buy the sequel.

I can't bring myself to give this novel 5 stars, but I will give it 4. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I was getting into it, and I can't blame Sidney Sheldon for using the phrase "male hardness" that many times in one book. This is exactly what I don't want to admit I love. If you also have a penchant for trashy novels, look no farther. You have achieved nirvana.

For me, the book is ruined because the seller's permanent price tag is right on the front of the book! (not shown in the picture). If the tag is absolutely necessary, use removable stickers or put it in a less conspicuous place. I love the book, loved the price, but couldn't give it as a gift!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tailed off a tad
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2016

I am a bit disappointed, but it is because the author went a direction in the end that I didn't like. Nobody's fault but mine. I thought the narrative for the first ¾ of the book was enthralling, and the writing was superb. Where it went astray in my mind was (1) Noelle turning back into just another love-struck woman: she was a diabolical force almost her whole life, and then she does this? (2) Catherine never showing a backbone; sure she was supposed to be an archetypical naive woman (once again, totally love-struck), but she started as very clever and turned into a fem fatale. For a story revolving around two women, they fizzled in the end. The end was very rushed: we are led to a trial very quickly and things are wrapped up hastily. All the men who attended are just props from the past. I am sad about Catherine's first love: he was a great kind man, but he failed her and she certainly failed him. Why did he come find her after she hit rock bottom, then just walk away? Lastly, the plea deal was a farce: these things are pre-planned and written out just so the prosecution can't pull a fast one they they did here. Maybe not in Greece, but I doubt it. The famous lawyer was very entertaining: kind of like a rumpled Inspector Columbo.

In summary, the first ¾ was one of the most entertaining books I have read, but the wrap up left me disappointed. I kind of got the feeling that Sheldon wanted to wrap it up at that point.

Even though often his books are similar they still are exciting and fun to read. I am now on my second go around with his books for lack of finding new novels and always waiting on a new release by an author I love. But I still enjoy his books the second time around and recommend them to anyone who likes mystery, great storytelling and great characters.
