Master Of The Game by Sydney Sheldon

Kate is a very successful businesswoman who has an empire stretching from one end of the world to another.She portrays success and strength but behind this facade,she is a very lonely lady who has been born out of revenge and who controls those around her to be the "master of the game".

Well so much for the synopsis!!Now to the juicy stuff!!you see the guy laughing??That's Sydney Sheldon.He is,without any doubt,one of the best writers in the world(I mean fiction here people!!).I would even say that sydney Sheldon is God(okay,calm down Loona!!).This guy writes from a female view point but still conveys a very phallocratic image of the world.His characters are ,mostly,innocent,naive women ,who, due to circumstances ,have to corrupt themselves to survive.

This novel,which covers a period of 100 years,has been adapted to television in the 80's.The reasons why I will recommend it are as Sheldon is a genius in his art and Kate,the female protagonist,bears the weight of the whole novel on her own shoulders.Kate is manipulative,remorseless,resourceful and intelligent(she also happens to be a libran!!astrological kinship!!).One thing I remember from this book is the way Kate manipulates her love,David,into leaving his fiancee to be with her.He even vows to stay with her for ever.Kate is an example to all of us(ladies and gents) who are not ashamed to say that we are happy being bad and manipulative.So,people,hunt this book down and read it.

PS: Feeling manipulated??I'm the master of this game!!
