i've read this book by sidney sheldon, titled 'tell me your dreams'.
it's the first novel by sidney sheldon i've read albeit i've heard that the name is quite a famous writer. and believe me, i always thought of him as a 'her'. this is bcoz i saw his novels on my sis's shelf and i thought that my sister reads female stuffs from female writers. huhu...how wrong i was.
it's a story about a lady with 'multiple-personality-disorder'. she didn't know she had d problem until her other 'selfs' started killing guys around her. she was terrified and thought of a stalker spying on her activities and her relationships. it became a police case and the police had no idea that it was her bcoz she was the one reporting abt all d incidences.
the story goes to the court cases with her lawyer trying to prove her case telling that she is innocent because she is sick and needed medical/psychiatrical attention. also some stories about the lawyer owing some gratitude to the lady's father. the lady's father was a doctor who saved the lawyer's mother's life a few years back.
the story is quite simple with a few technical terms of medicine and court. i managed to finish the book in one whole day. the book is supposed to be exciting and thrilling due to the 'multiple-personality' thing trying to make the lady look innocent inspite of the gory murders, but my friends' 'kindness' by telling me the ending, took out the suspense. huuu...

huh...muvie ayat2 cinta? aku baca novel sikit punya feeling ke...muvie?...down terus...mungkin utk kisah2 camtu mmg lebih elok dibiarkan di alam novel je. ataupun, mungkin kisah islamik mcm tu, sukar utk dicapai akal atau diterima sebagai realiti dlm konteks masyarakat skrg lantas menyukarkan pengarah utk menterjemahkannya menjadi filem yg berjaya...
