| Plot Summary of The Sky is Falling |
|---|
"The worse book by Sidney Sheldon after Tell me Your
Dreams, another boring reading, this one revolves
around Dana Evans, a TV achorwoman who finds herself
involved in a series of killings of people from the
same family. The plot, that could be good, was terribly
done. Sidney Sheldon forgot how to write good novels.
A complete disappointment."
Marco Aurelio, Resident Scholar

"When all five of America's royal family are killed, Dana Evens, a reporter, becomes suspicious and starts her own investigation. Her life and family are in terrible danger if she finds out the truth. This is a great book. Way to go Sidney!!"
