Book Review
Master of the Game

MASTER OF THE GAME by Sidney Sheldon Still A Page Turner 20+ Years Later

When I was younger, I loved reading Sidney Sheldon’s books. Mostly they are quick reads, fast paced and give glimpses of uber-wealthy. Of course I had read Master of the Game when it came out in ’82, and I have read it multiple times since. It holds up well even if society and social mores have changed, but the main reason I picked it up to re-read was so that I can read the sequel which Mr. Sheldon’s estate gave Tilly Bagshawe the right to write.

Because this book spans multiple generations and centuries Mr Sheldon has some problematic verbiage when describing life in the late 1800s and early 1900s but there is nothing overly gratuitous about it.

All in all this is a great story with loveable and hateable characters, lots of “meat”, angst and psychopathic undertones.

Highly recommend to those who wish to read a right storyline with no unnecessary fluff.
