I’ve been thinking to myself that I really must finish off reading all these books I have. Especially since, I’ve forced myself not to buy any more books. Until I’ve read the ones I have.

So the first up was a half finished book ‘A stranger in the mirror’ by Sidney Sheldon. How I got reading Sidney Sheldon books I’ll cover in a different post. Another book of his I’ve read is called ‘Bloodline’. Which was gripping and kept me reading all the way. Until the end when I felt disappointment in the way it finished. Which is probably why I only got half way through this book.

I guess you can read about what the book is about from the various on-line reviews. Briefly its about an aspiring actress who struggles with her career and also about a comedian who makes it to the top and can have anything he wants.

I won’t go too much into detail about the ending, but upon finishing the book I was a little disappointed and just put the book to the side.

The strangest thing happened to me the following morning around dinner time whilst I was thinking about the ending. A sense of despair overcame me. Which had to be the oddest feeling ever. Its not like me to be moved after so much time had passed. It was like a sadness at someones loss. Who had worked all their life to be or to get everything they wanted and then to loose it in a few moments.

I guess the ending was better than I had first thought, albeit very dark and sad.
