A Book Review On: Sidney Sheldon’s Tell Me Your Dreams
Tell Me Your Dreams, one of the most bizarre murder trials in fiction… based on actual medical evidence, is a masterpiece of one of the world’s top bestselling authors, Sidney Sheldon. The story is all about three beautiful young women---- Ashley, an introverted workaholic; Toni, an outgoing singer and dancer; and Allete, a shy artist--- are suspected of committing a series of brutal murders. In the end Ashley is shown to be traveling in a train displaying characteristics of all her three selves depicting her to have accepted all her alters as her own self. My favorite character is Ashley because despite of her past painful experience, she was brave enough to accept her fate and successfully overcome her Multiple Personality Disorder condition.
Throughout the story, I was drawn to the personality of Allete, a gifted artist and a pretty young woman but extremely shy and soft-spoken. During my childhood years, my lack of self-confidence prevented me to achieve the things that I might have been. That although people see the potential in me, I was so inferior that I never believed in myself. I was inclined in arts and writing, but my inability to “show-off” and inferiority complex didn’t allow me to develop such skills.
I like the style of writing of Sidney Sheldon---the way he gave me a mental image of the characters and his unique quality of thoughts in storytelling. He provides a fascinating and precise examination of the different aspects of multiple personality disorder through the characters of Ashley, Toni, and Alette. I love the first seven chapters of the book, I was amused by the vivid description of the different personalities of the characters and the well-organized chain of events. However, I was quite unsatisfied with the last part of the book. For a person who never experienced or never heard of stories about the Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or also
