Bodega is a small grocery store in New York. This is a very interesting story. The way the protagonist, Perdomo, speaks is enjoyable because his speech is casual, friendly, and humorous. The successful way to run a bodega is to 'check your scruples at the door' by rubbing the expiration date with your saliva and when Bob leaves you sell the goods.You can't beat Pleasantville or a giant supermarket, like TJ. Perdomo is the only person that speaks in the story. He is a narrator, too. No other character appears. So, this is a one-way story-telling. The ending is good:This is the Bronx, compadre. This is how we boogie down. A little Spanish would have helped me a lot in reading the story.

Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon
I
have found every page interesting and exciting. The beginning grabs the reader
by disclosing some murder cases which occur in different places. Strangely
enough, they are all connected with the protagonist, Ashley Patterson.
The
reader will be surprised to know that she possesses multiple personalities: Toni
and Alette.
The
court scenes are also exciting. The debate between the prosecutor, Brennan and the
lawyer, David is well written. At the last moment, she is regarded as a holder
of multiple personalities and is judged innocent.
The
story does not end here; it continues how she is cured.
I
enjoyed reading “Tell Me Your Dreams.”
Sidney Sheldon is a master of storytelling.
