Query: Predictable, shallow - what happened to the REAL S.Sheldon??

WHAT A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. I haven't read a Sidney Sheldon novel for a few years - I saw this at the library (thank goodness I did not spend my hard earned money on it)and thought "great - a new S.Sheldon novel". But was I ever disappointed! I had it figured out almost from the very start. I must echo all of your other 1 & 2 star reviewers - this was so elementary I could not believe I was reading Sidney Sheldon. His earlier works were superb - this was trash. No depth - short choppy sentences - and so predictable. I had to force myself to finish it - just in case there was going to be a big twist at the end. Sidney - what happened to you?
