يمكنني ان اقول عنها ممتعة رغم انها ليست بروعة كتابات سيدني
This is the sequel to The Other Side of Midnight and a worthy sequel all round. While the first was published in 1973, it wasn't until 1990 that this sequel was published. And since the first could have easily stood alone, I feel sure the author bowed to reader and publisher demand to provide a follow-up. Often that scenario ends in disaster for the second book but that's not the case here.

Memories of Midnight (1990) is a sequel to The Other Side of Midnight (1973), what many people consider to be one of his best novels. Memories, however, holds its own mixing revenge, greed, justice, and romance.
I think it's a sign of a good book if, after some ten odd years, you can read it again and remember nearly all of the characters. That's what this one was like for me.

Saya salut sama Sidney Sheldon. Saya salut sama Constantin Demiris. Setiap kali membaca novel karya Sidney Sheldon, saya selalu "ditipu" dengan berbagai cara. di Novel ini Demiris yang tengah dipermainkan oleh rivalnya yang berusaha menjatuhkannya, bersikap seolah-olah ia akan kalah. Namun pada akhirnya ia berhasil memenangkan pertandingan sengit kepada rival-rivalnya.

Well, for many years I often wondered what Memories of Midnight would be about, and after having read it, I'm happy to say, it was the perfect ending to an outstanding story.
This novel focused on Catherine Alexander, the character we first met in The Other Side of Midnight. And you will learn more about the great Constantin Demiris. In fact, had it not been for dear old Costa, we wouldn't have had much of a novel.

Catherine is back and still crying like a baby and dying to fall in love! UGH! Hate that part of the story..
Besides that... This one was entertaining but not as good as the other one.
Demiris is back and ready to hunt down and kill everyone that pisses him off.. This time trying to cover his tracks.
Melina.. she kept me reading it. She was so determined and I like determination. I wanted to find out what she was going to do about her husband, after everything he put her through! and what she did...more

This was the first book that I have read by Sidney Sheldon. It was difficult for me to get interested as the reader is exposed to many characters and many different scenerios that complicate the plot. The details in this complication are important to the overall story line and in making the reader acquainted with the personalities of the characters as well as their backgrounds. The book is not considered to be in the least romantic, but there were minor romantic interests in the story line. The...more

Now that I have read four books of Sidney Sheldon so far, I could find some obvious similarities in his books. First, the story almost always includes a murder and a following trial. I enjoyed reading about how attorneys from each book used different tactics to defend their clients. Second, Sheldon somehow includes a foreign language in the book; which was Italian in "Tell Me Your Dreams", Hindi in "Nothing Lasts Forever", and Greek in this book. It was very interesting to find similarities or r...more
A fast paced page turner! Sidney Sheldon writes in quck chapters and speeds the story along with intriguing twists and turns. This story is full of greed, lust, jealousy and revenge. Set in Greece & London, Constantin Demiris is a powerful self made millionare. He believes money and power can buy what he wants and that everyone will bow to his wants, needs and requests.

Set in London and Greece, this is Sidney Sheldon's sequel to The Other Side of Midnight. Greek tycoon Constantin Demiris likes his revenge ice cold. Months after he had Catherine, his mistress, and the lover she betrayed him with executed, he decides to tie up loose ends by having everyone who can link him to the not entirely sucessful crime killed off.

The story telling is a unique one and this is one of those stories which at almost at the end you assume that it will end up with a incomplete and disappointing and even a lame happy ending. But in this novel the ending has been made so beautifully and everything falls right into the place where it should be. One of the major part of the novel i like is that we know most of the charecters briefly and most of the charecters play a very strong link to the main charecters. However..i did a mistake...more
El libro es un poco aburrido al principio... pero no es realmente malo. Debo decir que estuvo lleno de sorpresas. Tiene momentos en los cuales es un tanto... predecible, pero el autor se las arregla para compensar ese detalle sorprendiéndote con otras cosas.

It's another re-read, as last few days I've read The Other Side of Midnight, I thought I have to read this one too. I never expect less from Sidney Sheldon. The elements of surprise and a brilliant twist always hit me. The book is actually a great conclusion to The Other Side of Midnight. I loved seeing how everything wrapped up, and finally Costantin got the final blow of what was coming to him. That is totally a satisfaction to a reader like me that loathe him!

One more thing I liked about Sidney Sheldon aside from his brilliant plot and writing is that he also writes about places, things and my most favorite - history. It always make me smile whenever I read something - even little facts about history especially from novels.
Well, I'm so glad that I gave this book a chance even though I was disappointed in The Other Side of Midnight. This is so much better than that, I guess. Melina's revenge kept me reading - I'm so excited and curious of what she wi...more

Sequel to The Other Side of Midnight. Unlike the previous, this one is fast paced and exciting. The survivors Catherine Alexander and Constantin Demeris comes back with an exciting plot. Constantin loves Catherine but plans to kill her to avenge Noelle. Catherine is in amnesia. No one know she's alive except Constantin. Anyone who knows she's alive gets killed. In the end, Constantin was trapped to death, with the vengeance of his betrayed lawyer.
Wow. I used to love this authors books and since I've noticed I have a hard time falling asleep when I read a thriller I had to lay down the thriller and decided to pick this book to read.
(Well it did make me sleepy lol) I can see why i used to love these books but alas not anymore.
The story is so unrealistic it gets annoying.
well i still have a few books by this author (and I saved all my Dutch copies but I know now I can get rid of those)

Cerita yg sungguh memukau..penuh intrik balas dendam dan tragedi pembunuhan akibat hasrat cinta dan kekuasaan. Namun yg menarik perhatian saya malah karakter Melanie disini..melanie yg polos mencintainya..selalu berpikiran positif tentang Costa..sampai terakhir mengetahui betapa kejam dan liciknya Costa..akhirnya demi berusaha untuk menghentikan rencana kejam Costa yg ingin membunuh Kakaknya dan Catherine, Melanie mengorbankan dirinya sendiri :(
The Other Side of Midnight (1973) ... and then many years later came Memories of Midnight (1990). I read them with only a little break of a couple months between (and I enjoyed both, although first-best and last-least ... but isn't that always the case) ... after enjoying the first book so much I can't imagine having to wait all those years for a sequel. I'm glad I read them together.
Destroyed the gorgeousness the glamour of the first book - The Other Side of Midnight- i felt like its not the same writer !! or maybe when he wrote it he was drunk . i wish i didn't know that there is a sequel.I really regret reading it! the previous book was my favorite and this book was disappointment I was expecting something Completely different.
it’s just me or what…That Demiris character from first book of @the otherside of the midnight'; is completely metamorphosed from being a powerful intelligent strategy billionaire to criminal and altogether evil… In this sequel?? urgh..and Madam Catherine alexander as usual cry baby...not sure if m liking this sequel...the first book was way better.
I liked this book better than its predecessor, "The Other Side of Midnight". However, the problem with Sidney Sheldon's stories is that if you read enough of them you suddenly see the plot twists coming from a mile away. It already happened with the last book, but this time even the first careful preparations of a twist seemed painfully obvious to me.
Despite of that it was an enjoyable read.

as always there are so many characters and foreign lands and foreign languages that he doesn't translate. some of the characters are just there and add nothing but added pages to the book. not the best book and of all books to make into a movie they make this into a movie. i have tried to watch it twice and can only get 15 minutes in before i get bored. not my favorite sidney sheldon book.

while this book is a sequel to the Other Side of midnight. It failed to be as exciting as the first. I cant put my finger on what is wrong with this story is it that all the characters seem to be not themselves, or is it that was only a wrapping up of the previous. Not my favorite!
Though I didn't read the prequel of the novel, yet when I picked it up there was o putting down till I went through the very last page.Sheldon has got the power to lure his reader into the plot till its very end and this book is no exception. One must definitely go for this book !!!
