O OUTRO LADO DE MIM é uma aula sobre a história do show biz americano nos últimos 60 anos feita por quem a viveu por dentro – e ainda vive – em seus momentos mais importantes, seja no cinema, na televisão ou na literatura. Sheldon conta histórias inéditas de sua convivência com gente famosa, de Frank Sinatra a Irving Berlin, de Marilyn Monroe a Groucho Marx, além de Judy Garland, Doris Day, Kirk Douglas, Cary Grant. Este último, conta uma passagem do livro, exigiu pessoalmente que o poderoso estúdio Metro-Goldwin-Mayer contratasse Sheldon em 1953 para dirigir Quem é meu amor?

“To be successful you need friends and to be very successful you need enemies.”
― Sidney Sheldon, The Other Side of Midnight

Such a great book. My favorite Sheldon novel.

This is a long and epic read about four individuals some of whom we do not meet right away. It takes place over a long period of time and pretty much has everything. Love, war, history, romance, family betrayals, legal drama, high fashion, high times, low times, Nazis, heroes fighting Nazis, ac tresses, first love, murder, betrayal, mind games, war crimes, Epic family sagas, in infidelity, deceit, tragedy, joy, pain and glory.

Did I leave anything out?

It is a huge book I reread every few years or so to remind me of how much I love reading. This book was turned into a film starring Susan Sarandon as Catherine. I do not think the movie can touch the book.

SPOILERS:

Twist at the end..all time favorite of book twists. Just..nothing else can compare.

Sequel I was not wild about and like to pretend it did not happen. This one stands alone fine.

Be prepared to be transported to France..to Greece..all over the world! I loved the way Sheldon brought these countries to life and felt as though I was there.

Strongly recommended. ( )

TO JORJA
who pleasures me in a thousand ways
First words
Prologue : Athens :1947
Through the dusty windshield of his car Chief of Police Georgios Skouri watched the office buildings and hotels of downtown Athens collapse in a slow dance of disintegration, one after the other like rows of giant pins in some cosmic bowling alley.
Book One : Catherine : Chicago : 1919-1939
Every large city has a distinctive image, a personality that gives it its own special cachet.
