Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.com

Dana Evans, who made her first appearance in Sidney Sheldon's The Best Laid Plans, is a spunky, good-looking, young Washington TV journalist who's recently returned to the nation's capital from the Balkans, where she adopted a handicapped war orphan who's having trouble adjusting to life in America. But that doesn't keep Dana from following a story all over the world, from Washington to Aspen, Nice, Juneau, Dusseldorf, Rome, Brussels, Moscow, and Siberia. Each of these brief visits is like a postcard--a local landmark or two, an interesting local restaurant (at least in the European venues), and another piece of the puzzle, which has to do with why every member of a venerable, old Washington dynasty has died a violent death in the last year. It seems strange that in a media-savvy city like Washington, no one but Dana has noticed there's a pattern in the rapid extinction of the Winthrops or even whispered the words family vendetta. But that's why pretty, young girl TV reporters were invented, at least by Sheldon.

As Dana sets out to investigate the distinguished career of the Winthrop family patriarch, her lover Jeff, a sports anchor at her station, is called away to administer aid and succor to his former wife, a beautiful model who's realized, too little and too late, that she never should have dumped him. And Kemal, the 12-year-old orphan, is being drugged by his baby sitter, who's in cahoots with at least one set of bad guys. Dana hasn't noticed how tractable the temperamental boy has become recently because she's been dressing up like a two-bit Russian tramp to infiltrate a secret weapons base in Siberia... Do you hear the words movie locations? But all's well that ends well, as it usually does for Sheldon's heroines, and in the meantime you've learned where the five-star hotels are and what to order in a famous restaurant in Rome. A slick, commercial, slightly thin tale told by a craftsman of the genre. --Jane Adams -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

From Booklist

Popular author Sheldon ventures into the world of television journalism and post^-cold war espionage. After her courageous and high-profile coverage of the war in Sarajevo, Washington reporter Dana Evans is offered the plum job as host of her own investigative television show. She decides to investigate the deaths of the entire wealthy Winthrop family. A clan reminiscent of the Kennedys, the Winthrops appeared to be a family dedicated to public service; the patriarch, Taylor Winthrop, once served as an ambassador to Russia. Most journalists believe that their untimely deaths are merely tragic, but Dana finds the fact that the whole family died within a year suspicious and tries to find the cause. Her investigation leads to Aspen, major European capitals, and Russia, and the more Dana discovers, the more rapidly the image of a great altruistic American family dissolves. Taylor Winthrop had long been considered a modern-day saint, but eventually an international list of people who Taylor wronged is unearthed, and it seems he was up to no good with the Russians. Meanwhile Dana's personal life is in arrears. Kemel, her Yugoslavian adopted son, is having difficulty adjusting to school, and her fianceis off taking care of his beautiful ex-wife. In addition to the pseudo-Kennedy appeal, Sheldon's entertaining plot has the feel of a James Bond film but with a heroine instead of a hero. Whitney Scott

Sheldon does it again!!!!! 19. September 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have read everything Sidney Sheldon has written. I found this story to be interesting and provocative. A subject that is a bit different for Sheldon. Meeting old friends again ; Dana, Kemal and Jeff was fun. I could certainly see a spin-off of this plot, but in Sheldons style that would be far to predictable. The sky is falling wasn't my all time favorite, but a good can't put it down read. Thanks again Sidney Sheldon

What do you expect from a Sidney Sheldon novel? Once you've understood it's not about character development, deep conflicts, or literary masterpieces, you can start enjoying his books for what they are: fast and exciting reading. The plot? Beautiful people meeting evil ones in exotic settings.

In "The sky is falling", beautiful reporter Dana Evans investigates the murder of a whole family, only to see she's putting her own family at risk. The message of the book (if it has one) seems to be: "don't trust anybody" but of course in the end Dana is happily reunited with her loved ones.

German readers watch out for Sheldon's attempt at authenticity...his German sentences are (unintentionally) hilarious. All in all: Easy reading, a real page-turner, great for a day at the beach.

The Sky is Falling was very disappointing. The plot is twisted and exciting enough, but the heroine, Dana Evans, is a two dimensional paper doll.

She's supposed to be this perfect wonder-woman, but in the story, she goes flitting all over the world on a wild goose chase while leaving her troubled foster son in the hands of a woman she doesn't know and her fiancée is living with his ex-wife, and none of this seems to bother her very much. Excuse me? Mr. Sheldon has apparently never known a woman in his life. Dana Evans has no personality at all.

My advice: Avoid any book that discribes their heroine as beautiful, because that will usually be all there is to her. But if all you need is a paper doll appearing in scenes of international intrigue, this book is for you.
