１．Prologue
This article deals with my experience of reading Sidney Sheldon’s books. I’ve read 2 titles; ”Master of The Game” and ”The Other Side of Midnight”, both of them are his masterpieces.
２．Master of The Game
I love this book. I’m a Japanese, intermediate learner of English. ”Master of The Game” is good for intermediate English learners like me, able to read with joy.
Reading a 500 page book took me a long time, but you can definitely have fun. That’s really the reason why the author is called Page Turner.

The vengeance story by a crazy woman, is really the Sidney Sheldon’s novel. However, I could not enjoy so much of it, personally. My recommendation is definitely ”Master of The Game”, as I was excited with the adventure story.
４．Epilogue
For Tadoku (which means English learning by reading a lot) learners of English, Sidney Sheldon books are popular and classic. They are like textbooks for the learners. In that point of view, 2 books above are pretty much recommendable. In terms of story, I personally prefer ”Master of The Game”.
Both books are thick, nearly 500 pages or more and containing 100 thousand over words. It is good to build up your vocabulary while you can have joy at the same time. Have fun reading!
Fin.
