Summary: A breathtaking story!
Comment: What separates "The Naked Face" from other books i have read is that the suspense that hypnotises the reader till the end.The reader is spell-bound by page two.The first chapter describes how a person wearing an yellow coat gets stabbed in the back by a murderer.The writer slowly unfolds the secrets one by one and persuades the reader to read till the end.
The central character in this novel,Dr.Judd Stevens,is a dedicated psychoanalyst working in New York who abruptly comes to know that one of his patients has been murdered.Soon,he finds his personal secretary,Carol Roberts-who would never succeed in her life without the help of Dr.Judd Stevens,murdered in the most frightening and merciless way.The protagonist of this novel,a beautiful woman,is closely related to the antagonist himself!
All the characters in the novel have their own,unique speciality.Though the novel is a fictional suspense novel,the writer skilfully shows the reader about each character's speciality and making them realistic.
The novel has been written from the third-person viewpoint but someimes the writer seems to speak from the mind of Dr.Judd Stevens.One of those sentences is,"Civilisation was a thin,dangeriously fragile veneer,and when that veneer cracked,man became one of the beasts again,falling back into the slime of the primeval abyss he prided himself on having climbed up from."The idea stated in the previous sentence has been written in the novel generally,that is,a person who has not read the novel can understand what has been said in that sentence.The only bad side of this novel is that the story unfolds like a movie.Finally,it can be said that this novel can be read and enjoyed by anyone who reads books and is an young-adult.

Summary: Somewhat Predictable
Comment: I enjoyed reading The Naked Face, but it was somewhat predictable. There is one surprising twist at the end, but overall it is not Sheldon's best. From the beginning it is obvious that he is setting up one character to be the downfall of Judd Stevens, and I was disappointed when I reached the end and it turned out I was right. But maybe I've just read too many murder mysteries...
Rating: 4
Summary: Nice, but his later books are better
Comment: The first Sheldon book I read was Tell Me Your Dreams, one of his latest works. I only read The Naked Face after writing to Mr. Sheldon and receiving a response, telling me about his first book. As much as I love his books, his later works are my favourites. The Naked Face is easy to read and enjoyable, though nothing really extraordinary. Perfect for a lazy afternoon.
