- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reading lightly (as I did) this novel that helped establish romance as a genre merely caters to harmless fantasy. This was Fifty Shades for the 1919 set, if you substitute fade-to-black for graphic scenes and remove the woman's consent. I suppose the idea of consenting to such treatment was probably one step too far for readers to swallow back then. An easy read if not for the strenuously long paragraphs and chapters. The formula must have worked since it was popular enough to launch a movie version that established Rudolph Valentino's fame for all time. It's only the flight-of-fancy romance that matters here, so check your brain at the door.Reading more seriously will only get you highly offended by the story of a rape victim abruptly falling madly in love with her abusive captor, after which they live happily ever after. Good luck finding success with that in 2013, next to today's news headlines and novels like "Room" by Emma Donoghue. The author also strays into describing women as the weaker sex; a feminist tract this ain't. It's a long fall after the introductory description that casts the female lead as being remarkably strong-willed and self-empowered, albeit sexually repressed.Another reviewer had me ponder the story as a survival guide for abused women being underserved in 1919 - tell yourself you're in love to remove some of the horror. That would be giving this story too much credit for noble intentions. It can't even retain credit for encouraging diversity since the happy ending establishes that, not to worry, the sheik isn't really an Arab after all. The abuse was okay too, because the sheik was only cruel when he was drunk and now he won't get drunk anymore.I have an e-reader and it was free. Take only the lighter approach, or skip it entirely.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5By: Edith Maude HullPublished By: Hard PressAge Recommended: AdultReviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: 5Review:"The Sheik" by Edith Maude Hull was a good romantic, historical, and adventurous read. This novel was a very interesting read first being published in 1921 and now it is still such a good read that you will not be able to put it down until the end. The read is of 'kidnapping and forced affection' that will only leave you thinking wow this is some read! I found "The Sheik" well written only willing you to keep 'rived' on to keep turning the pages. As you read you will see really how Ahmed feels about Diana and how she really feels about him. I found all of the characters well developed, well portrayed and so very colorful. For the hero...was he a brutal savage? Does he love Diana? Will the heroine Diana feel some attraction to Ahmed, even though at the beginning there was hate, now fear his 'passionate nature' even though she fights her true feelings for him...that fear of not being in control? Now, I don't what to tell too much but do pick up this good read by this author to see how this will all turn out. Yes, there will be some issues but this author does a good job at bringing it out to the reader with the hints of sex which I found even more exciting. My favorite part of the story was the last chapter. I like how the author was able to let the reader see how romance was back in those days which certainly left me saying Wow what passion! "The Sheik" was definitely a good read that you will want see how this 'African Desert' comes alive. Would I recommend? YES!
