Customer Reviews
Riddled with spelling errors.
Sidney Sheldon's "Bloodline" runs in the same vain as his literary masterpiece "Master of the Game."
Bloodline follows the story of heiress Elizabeth Roffe and family through a series of plot twists and turns, murder, intrigue and betrayal inside the corrupt Roffe and Sons privately owned global business.
First off this is an excellent book, it had me turning each page after the next without me wanting to put it down. With that said, if you enjoyed books by Sidney Sheldon this will not disappoint. If you haven't read any of his work, I would highly suggest first reading "Master of the Game." In that the story is filled with much more background on all the characters and over all is much more compelling.
Secondly, I have not read the physical paper copy of Bloodline, but after reading this, it leads me to believe whomever copied the book into digital e-book format left the book with tons of misspellings in almost every chapter. From misspelled names (Max to Mox from one page to the next) to other randomness, it did get quite irritating at how frequent these misspellings would appear. It's almost like no one went over it to proof read it for digital format. Luckily in this day and age if enough attention is brought to it (my original intention for writing a review) they can easily fix and update a corrected version of the e-book.
In the end I was going to give it one less star than originally intended because of all the misspellings, but I'll stick with my 4 star review. While still an excellent book, it doesn't quite carry the same weight and isn't quite as compelling as "Master of the Game" which was written five years after this. But both books are great for any collection and feel as if they were written recently instead of 1977 and 1982 respectively.
Excellent novel many iBook errors
I could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it. Its many themes, plot lines, and intriguing characters made it a great and interesting read. The iBook had many grossly negligent editing errors. Words misspelled, letters missing or interchanged, periods missing at the end of sentences. Although I loved the book, the errors made it frustrating to read. Also, to say that the word 'had' was overused, was an understatement.
Great book
Wat can u expect from Sheldo?
