   BLOODLINE is a 1977 novel by the great and the wise, Sidney Sheldon My grandmother told me that she saw a movie titled Bloodline before but she wasn t sure if it was the film adaptation of this book Out of curiosity, I learned that Bloodline was really adapted into a film in 1979, but it was a complete failure because Audrey Hepburn who played as the protagonist is older than the Sheldon character she supposed to portray Elizabeth In order to solve the problem, Sheldon revised his novel to place [...]

   When a pick a book from Sideny the first thing that comes into my mind is vengeance and then glamour, mafias, dons, sex, romance but this book is quite different though it has main ingredients of Sidney Glamour, love, sex, romance along with medical science research in depth , greed, sabotage, betrayal, murder,crime, mysteries.The book actually started after 200 pages, first 200 pages includes introduction of characters, at time it feel, the introduction is dragged a bit, although the accounts o [...]

    Outstanding This book grab you from the very beginning to the last page from the beginning in my suspect list there were only 2 person and one would be the main culprit from them I knew for sure but I couldn t conclude which one it could be until the last page though I felt some hurry in the end and expected some explanation, it was absolutely a thriller full of suspense, tension, romance and MYSTERY.Sheldon is a boss writer He is THE MASTER STORYTELLER

    Rating 2.8Bloodline is my first Sidney Sheldon read Mystery and crime thrillers are my favourite genre, so of course I enjoyed the book, it was like a action mystery packed, fast roller coaster ride It s a 20th century book still the plots, character, everything is no less than a modern contemporary novel.But I m not fully satisfied with the book, there are enough negative points to justify my complaint.The book opens with the death of Sam Roffe president of the Roffe and sons It seems like an h [...]

    Bloodline is another fascinating novel by the author Sidney Sheldon.The book is divided into two parts BOOK 1 is only the introduction part tells about the background of all the main characters Book 1 is extends to 180 pages out of 409e 1st part might seem a little boring.The main story starts from BOOK 2.The Novel is incomplete.ter completing it i found many things does t have its end.As his other works this one too provides a fantastic read from the very beginning where the story begins with n [...]

    Ich wei gar nicht, wo ich anfangen soll Dieser Roman ist von vorne bis hinten schlicht und ergreifend schlecht Nun ist Sidney Sheldon nicht gerade bekannt f r Tiefgang Im Grunde genommen sind seine B cher quasi Dallas und Denver Clan in Buchform Zumindest die Protagonisten sind im Normalfall berdurchschnittlich sch n, berdurchschnittlich reich und berdurchschnittlich intelligent Nat rlich werden sie kurzfristig vom Schicksal gebeutelt, aber am Ende des Buches kann der Leser gewiss sein l st sich [...]

    Bloodline featured another ingenious plot line concocted by Mr Sheldon In this epic, Elizabeth Roffe is the ugly duckling daughter of Sam Roffe Her father is heir to the Roffe and Son s empire one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world Unfortunatly, because of her gender, she will not inherit Roffe and Son s upon her father s death, as only men may serve on the board of the company To complicate matters even , there are no male heirs in the family to take his place, only females As [...]

    Certainly a good book to read May not be Sheldon s best, and there may also be claims that the book draws heavily from Sheldon s previous releases but still this book is certainly worth a read The typical twists are missing but the extraordinary narration makes up for the slow pace The reader is made to believe from the onset that Rhys is the criminal Though the climax reveals a different story, it was expected from Sheldon and the familiar mind blowing twist at the end is missing I personally l [...]

    This novel is unlike Sheldon s others It is not very captivating, the story seems to start only halfway through the book The writing is galore with attempts at lengthy descriptions which seem unnecessary The latter half has pace, twists and turns that one would expect from Sheldon The ending seems to have been written in haste, leaving the reader without a complete closure.

    A good book is one that leaves you wanting to turn pages immediately as you finish the current one Bloodline is definitely a page turner In this work, Sidney Sheldon attempts to mislead us as much as the nemesis of Elizabeth Roffe, the heiress of a pharmaceutical empire, tries to lure her into the abyss her father went into I can t say red herrings did not lead me astray, but in a story full of dubious characters, who am I to blame.Bloodline introduces us to the scandalous world of the elite, wh [...]

    An amazing book ,written extremely well ,fairytale ending which is too good to be true.Sydney has nailed this book,be it the erotic or thrilling scenes they captivate you totally.The last 10 pages leave you breathless not because the protagonist is on the run but the pace of unimaginable events that keep coming one after the other in the ending of the book.Words fail me when describing the end because the who dunnit blame game has taken a whole new level when the police blame a person for the mu [...]

    A gripping thriller that kept me glued to the page with its complex network of interconnected plotlines, interesting characters and high level of suspense unfortunately, the ending fell a bit flat The final twist didn t really work for me, it rather seemed to be there only because the author felt he really needed something unexpected to happen on the last few pages And I guessed early on it would turn out this way, simply because the characters I like best always turn up either dead or as the ki [...]

    7 18I can t remember how many times I almost screamed this book is ruining my life I must say I got a little bored in the beginning because the first third of the book was still the introduction of the characters and it just felt like it wasn t going anywhere with just that amount of pages left but it was surprisingly fast paced and, in the end, it still won the title as my favorite SS book Just WOW Everything written in the book was important, not a single word was wasted information I just lov [...]

    This would be the best introduction and familiarizing with the characters in a book By the time the main part of the story starts you are so much into the personalities described that you feel as though you ve known them your whole life Therefore the impact of all the events that take place later is tremendous As always the master of the unexpected proves his name with a thrilling plot Totally love Sheldon and his books Favourite
