A review by ibeforem
Windmills of the Gods by Sidney Sheldon

2.0

I didn’t like this one as much as The Sky is Falling. I wasn’t expecting it to be so heavy in the politics at the beginning, and I didn’t really find Mary to be a compelling character. I was expecting someone strong and smart, and once she got to Washington she was turned into, well, a naive hayseed. I didn’t buy it — you don’t get anywhere in academia by being naive. There were a couple of interesting twists, but if this were the first Sidney Sheldon I read, I wouldn’t seek out any more.
