Johnny Angel

Summary: "Moving"
Review: After shining star Johnny Petersen is killed in a car crash on prom night, he returns to help his grieving family with a message of hope and forgiveness. I thought JOHNNY ANGEL by super-star Danielle Steel was a moving novel that most readers will enjoy. (Highly Recommended Novel!)

Summary: Review of Johnny Angel
Review: Although, this story is touching and will bring tears to your eyes, I couldn't help but feel let down after finishing the book. This was definitely not on a par with most of Danielle Steel's work. The book seemed short and the characters were not given any real depth of personality. It was almost as if they were held at a distance from the reader. Sorry, this is just not a "Steel Classic".

Summary: Johnny Angel: Book Review
Review: Danielle Steele is one of the most popular authors in our society, with over 510 million copies of her novels sold. Johnny Angel is her fifty-eighth best selling novel. Delacorte Press, Random House Inc. published the book, which is in New York.
Johnny Angel is a work of fiction; it captured my soul from the beginning. It is a sad, but heartwarming story. The characters were portrayed in a very realistic environment with life like scenarios.
When Alcoholism is involved it is always a negative factor in any situation. The story worked through this major problem with strength and hope in a positive way. Danielle Steele's style of writing kept me full of emotion and desire to read, not wanting to put the book down untill I was totally finished. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It filled me with hope of happiness and love everlasting. Johnny Angel is about good times and bad times, about love and death, but in the end it lets you know that there is hope. With a little prayer, and dedication to your loved ones we can work through almost anything. Johnny Angel showed me that family and friends are very important in our lives.
This is a story that will pick your spirit up and make you glad that you read it, a book for the heart.

Summary: Sweet
Review: Definately not one of Steel's best. I was disappointed. I thought the plot was corny! It was an easy read, but I felt like I was reading a novel written for young teens. Every turn of the page was another predictible twist that just didn't add up to true Steel writing. If you liked "Granny Dan" or "Silent Honor", skip this book. You'll be disappointed.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Everyone is writing how terrible this book is and I thought it was great! Yes, at times it was a bit repetitive. If you have ever lost some one so close and never got to say good-bye, you can definetly relate to this book!

Summary: Fabulous....And totally different...very moving!
Review: For once a book that has no sex. This is a fabulous novel. I opened it and never put it down. Three hours later, I put the completed book down. It kept my interest the whole way through and was totally moving. I cried and laughed and cried some more. All the past novels of Danielle Steel's that I have read, I loved, but all were romance novels and ended up being sexual. This one was totally different it was a drama. This would make a fabulous movie!

Summary: Good Beach Book
Review: I agree with another reviewer that Ms. Steel's work is not what is once was. There are notable errors and quite a bit of repetition. However, she still knows how to spin a good tale, and Johnny Angel makes an entertaining light read. I would recomend a book by Debbie Macomber instead.

Summary: Simple as it can be
Review: I am an avid Danielle Steel reader but this one is not one of her best. The concept was a good one but it was written in such simple language. The characters could have had a bit more depth. Maybe next time...I know she is capable for much better writing!!
