Book Reviews of Tell Me Your Dreams
Book Review: Missed the mark by a mile.
Summary: 1 Stars
I read this book hoping to get a better understanding of multiple personality disorder, but it lost a lot of credibility as I began to see how poorly researched it was. I am a counselor and work with a great many people who have gone through traumatic experiences. Sheldon's notion that multiple personality disorder can be cured is laughable. Treated, yes. But the idea that Ashley would spend five years in a lock-down psych hospital and then go home feeling absolutely wonderful and totally at peace with the world is crazy. Also, the idea that it would be acceptible for her therapist to take her to dinner and dancing regularly is so far from what is ethical clinical practice that it made the book seem like a joke. There are numerous other events and passages in the book that convinced me that Sheldon is shooting in the dark, hoping the words he puts down will be believable but falling short. I realize he is not a clinician, but good authors who don't necessarily start out knowing a lot about their subject do their homework, research the topic thoroughly, have numerous experts read their book and provide feedback prior to publication, and deliver a credible product. This is not it.
Summary of Tell Me Your Dreams
"Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different, faraway world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her. She was trying desperately not to panic, but lately her sleep had been filled with nightmares, and she had awakened each morning with a feeling of impending doom."Thus begins Sidney Sheldon's haunting new novel, Tell Me Your Dreams. When a series of brutal murders is committed, the police suspect three beautiful young women. An arrest is made and what follows is one of the most bizarre murder trials of the century. Based on actual events, Tell Me Your Dreams races at a feverish pace from London to Rome to Quebec to San Francisco, and builds to a shocking climax that will leave the listener stunned.This suspenseful follow-up to Sheldon's most recent bestseller, The Best Laid Plans (ten weeks on the New York Times bestseller list), is rich with tension and heart-stopping action. Laced with the kinds of plot twists and turns that his fans love, Tell Me Your Dreams is an entertaining and gripping story.
Meet Ashley Patterson, the brainy, babelicious "computer whiz" and confused heroine of Tell Me Your Dreams. Although she has a cushy job at Global Computer Graphics, a fast-growing start-up in Silicon Valley, her life falls short of fulfilling. She's lonely, shy, and absolutely convinced she's being stalked. What's worse, the only sympathetic ear around is her father, Dr. Patterson, the heartless heart surgeon, who has the charm of an electric eel and the compassion of a tarantula. Given her options, Ashley looks to the heavens for support and offers up an ultimatum to the Almighty: "I'll make a deal with you, God. If it doesn't rain, it means that everything is all right, that I've been imagining everything." Of course, it starts raining buckets just paragraphs later, setting off a car alarm of an omen about our computer cutie's fate.
Enter Toni Prescott and Alette Peters. They both work with Ashley at Global Computer Graphics, but the similarities end there. Toni is a saucy, British vixen with a penchant for Internet dating and discotheques. La bella Italiana Alette, on the other hand, is a wannabe artist who prefers quiet, dreamy weekends with beefcake painters. Reminiscent of junior high school, Toni and Alette do their best to keep Ashley out of their cool clique, but find it difficult when a string of murders irrevocably binds them together. Based on a true story and laden with realistic details--not to mention a whopper of an ending--Tell Me Your Dreams is vintage Sheldon. However, there is one necessary caveat: avoid moviegoer types who insist on telling you the entire plot before you have a chance to see it. You should be doing this anyway, but take extra care with this book. Once the surprise ending is blown, so is the fun in reading it. --Rebekah Warren
