THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT by SIDNEY SHELDON

"One of the best novels I have ever read. It could be compared to the Count of Monte Cristo. Elegant and brilliant, well designed with savvy character development. An epic tale of revenge with many surprises.." " Sydney Sheldon is a superb author and the book was a great read and re-reading it brought back why I loved it so much. He wrote the characters separately in each chapter and then brought them together in the end of the book .." "I always wanted to read the book ever since I saw the movie in the 70's with my mom! Didn't quite get all that was happening then but I knew it was a sexy movie! Needless to say the book was great" "私は、大学で英語を専攻しており、英語の小説を読むことが課題になっていたので、お勧めサイトなどで探しながら、この本の購入を決めました。もちろん、生きた英語もあり、わからない単語も出てくるとは思いますが、大学受験レベルの英語をしっかり勉強してきた方なら、すらすらと読めると思います。私の場合は、わからない単語はSKIPして読んでます.." "超訳シリーズは読んでいましたが、英語力の復活の為、原文で読みました。ストーリーは読みやすい(残念ながら奥深くはない)ミステリーですし、何より英語が分かりやすく辞書を引かずに読めたのが良かったです"

지금까지 읽은 SIDNEY SHELDON의 다른 작품들에 비해서 가장 심플하고 글의 전개가 비교적 평이한 작품이었다. 상당히 진도가 빨리 나가는 작품이지만 재미있다고는 말하기 힘든거 같다. 뭐 .. 그래도 SIDNEY SHELDON 이기에 영어공부한다는 마음으로 읽어 봐도 될 거 같다. 핵심어는 cheating, murder, tycoon, pilot, jealous, revenge, divorce, attorney, double deal, missing, firing squad, psycho, ruthless 등인다. 다음에 읽을 "MEMORIES OF MIDNIGHT" 는 후편에 속하는 작품이다.
