Summary: Memories of Midnight Review
Comment: An excellent sequel to "The Other Side of Midnight." If you've read that book before, yep, there's more to excitement to come. If you haven't read the book before, I suggest you read it before you read this book. In short, this is another great book from Sidney Sheldon.
Rating: 5
Summary: Another sizzling shocker!
Comment: The first Sidney Sheldon book I read was "Master of the Game". It is still my favorite, but I really love "The Other Side of Midnight", and its sequel, "Memories of Midnight". You don't HAVE to read "The Other Side..." first in order to enjoy this book, "Memories..", but it would help to read both to get the full effect! "Memories of Midnight" will keep you reading way into the wee hours, so forget about starting this book if you have a paper to write or a job deadline you must pull off! This is a wonderfully fast paced, suspenseful read. Like I said, to get the full effect, you should read "The Other Side of Midnight" first and then this one! Enjoy!

Summary: Memories Best Forgotten
Comment: Avid fans of Sidney Sheldon will probably enjoy this book. It is indeed as is noted in the editorial reviews a rough-hewn and crudely carved sequel of "The Other Side of Midnight." Sheldon does not deviate from the routine trashy forumla replete with cliche bedroom scenes and a plethora of ruthless characters.
Set in the late 1940s right after WWII, Catherine, wife of pilot Larry whom readers first encountered in "The Other Side of Midnight" regains her memory. She remembers how cruel Larry was to her and how he jilted her for his mistress, Noelle Page. Indeed, Noelle was the kept mistress of one Constantin Demiris who was written to sound like an ersatz Ari Onasis. Demiris, like a magician can make those in his disfavor disappear. Exit Larry and Noelle in the first installment.
In this book, Catherine, the long-lost heroine is restored to glory and is swept off her feet by a man who is loosely based on the cliche Calvary men.
A psychiatrist and an eclectic mix of patients are thrown into this story; just how they are directly tied into the main plot has never been addressed. One character who is clearly written as autistic displays some of the more prominent autistic behaviors. He is echolalic; he recites long chains of information and he knows the number and type of vehicles he passes in route to the doctor's office. His activities are solitary and few; he does not voluntarily interact with others. I am really tired of stories like this that portray characters with autism as automaton-like savants with isolated abilities that are far removed from the social world. I think stories like this do a grave disservice to those with autism and for others who come across autistic characters because it is just perpetuating a stereotype.
This book does not really contain much of a mystery. It's just ruthless people getting even with each other. Even good old Demiris' wife Melina enters this story after having been relegated to shadow figure status in the original. Same old fare.
An attorney who was directly involved in a trial engineered by Demiris re-enters the picture. Some fancy manuevering, and he runs away with the show. Literally.
