Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tale of a True Survivor
Review: Danielle Steel's sparse style of writing serves her well, pulling the reader in to a spell-binding tale of incest, murder, prison and deception. She gives an especially chilling and graphic account of women's prison and the brutality that inmates visit upon newcomers.

The book traces the uphill battle of a teenager.... .... As the book unfolds, Grace, the heroine grows in inner strength as she enters each new chapter of her life. How she survives attacks, both physical and emotional, is at the core of the plot and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Readers will find themselves caring very much for this courageous heroine who often must face her battles alone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: Grace is one tough lady! I could not put this book down. She is full of strength and faith. She turned her life around and beat the odds. I wish many people in Grace's position could turn their lives around like she did. Just when I thought Grace would fall and crumble, she would stand and fight! Malice was very moving. This is my favorite by Danielle Steel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting story, but written in a big hurry.
Review: I thought this book had a very interesting plot, but I thought the author didn't spend enough time developing it. It read more like an outline for a novel rather than a novel itself. The characters were very shallow, and there were some loose ends that remained a little too loose for my taste. The worst part of the novel was the editing, though. This thing has "ROUGH DRAFT" written all over it. There were spelling and grammar errors, which is pretty shocking for a person whose written 40 something novels. My advice to the reader: Check the book out at the library. My advice to Ms. Steel: Slow down! Please don't sacrifice your stories to make some stupid deadline. Good novels take years, not weeks, to write. Take your time and actually work on them!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Danielle Steel has finally perfected her craft
Review: At my mom's bequest I have read numerous DS novels and while it contained great stories the dialogue was laughable at best, but this book has actually good dialogue to match the story. It involves a girl named Grace who shoots her father when he tries to attack her, she is sent to prison for two years and is let out into the world. But the world carries some unsavory characters and some delightful new friends. She is soon happily married, with kids, and striving to help other poor, abused, children with their problems. But her husband's upcoming political aspirations cause Grace's past to be revealed. This is a great book but I feel Danielle Steel must be running out of ideas for in her book the Accident the main character was forced to sleep with her father with her mother guilt-tripping her into doing it, this essentially Grace's situation

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I couldn't put the book down!
Review: This was my first experience with Danielle Steel. I thought maybe she was overrated, but I see now why she is so popular throughout the world. I began reading this book with only intentions of reading a few pages to fall asleep and instead I literally had to pry the book away from myself after reading the first 68 pages! I was glued to this powerful story and finished the book in only one day! (402 pages for the paperback) I highly recommend this book to anyone who's into suspenseful thrills and romance. With drama, humor, and the agony of constant defeat, I felt as if I was right there along with the main character, Grace Adams.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Powerful
Review: I borrowed the book from my library, and after reading it, decided that I had to buy it. It was a very powerful book, that brings to the forefront problems of everyday living. The character was a child/woman that was abused, and found the strength to survive things that were thrown in her direction. This is one of the best books that I have read. I will continue to read and collect her books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Thriller
Review: Malice was given to me as a present. I don't care too much for romances and I knew that Danielle Steel writes romance novels, but I read it any way and I loved it. What a thriller. If she can write more thrillers like this, she might have a new fan.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: UGH! Hated it!
Review: This was the first Danielle Steel novel I read and it will be the last. While reading this I feld like she wrote this book in a day. There was no thought process whatsoever involved in this book. Bad grammer also! An example: "And, afterwards, they and Paul...." huh? This was really really bad. I guess that explains how she can pump so many books out. No thought goes into them!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First book I ready by Ms. Steele - I,m hooked!
Review: This story keeps you on the edge of your seatas the main character overcomes one obstacle after another and is stronger for all of them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A novel that shows the consquences of abuse on everybody
Review: This book was very different from some of the other Daniell Steel books I've read. I found some of the abuse scenes rather graphic, but it was good that Mrs. Steel used it to show that things like that really do happen in real life. Good job, Mrs. Steel.
