Summary: Review of Johnny Angel
Review: This books was an extremely depressing book. Long and drawn out. Can all of this terrible stuff happen to these people. Does anything good ever happen. I will not buy any more of Steel's books after this one.

Summary: I cried!
Review: This is a short, fun and moving summer read! I cried so often when reading this book. It was well written, I liked the characters.....and I am not going to say more for fear that I give away what happens....I would recommend not even reading the jacket or sleeve.......just read the book!

Summary: Is Danielle Steel really this bad a writer?
Review: This is literally one of the most poorly written books I have ever read, which came as somewhat of a shock as it is Steel's 58th bestseller. The story lacks depth and complexity, the characters lack development, the writing is repetitive, and everything is generally one-dimensional. Did she hire an intern to compose this book for her??

Summary: Horrible.
Review: This is the most horrible book I have ever read! Danielle Steel is getting worse and worse with her writing. She repeats herself over and over again. What she writes in over 200 pages could be written in about 30 by someone else. What an elementary level book!! Read something by Lisa Jackson if you want to read something decent.

Summary: Sad but comforting.
Review: This mini-book left me wishing the angel theory could possibly exist. How many times have we wished we could see a loved one, just one more time? This is not a "fun" book, it is a sad story with hope for the future for any person, or family who might go through this horrible ordeal. I did not like the fact that the father in the story seem to be back in the 19th century regarding girls in sports. I also was tired of the repitition in parts of the story. Even with some reservation, this is a good book. It makes you feel good when you are done. Life does go on, even though we think it never will.

Summary: A STORY THAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!!
Review: THIS NEW NOVEL BY STEEL COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT READ IF ONLY IT DID NOT HAVE SO MANY GAPS AND REPITITIOUS STATEMENTS IN IT.
THIS STORY IS ABOUT A YOUNG MAN JOHNNY, WHO HAD EVERYTHING GOING FOR HIM, AND IS SUDDENLY KILLED IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT ON THE NIGHT OF HIS PROM. IT IS VERY SAD AND WILL MAKE YOUR EYES WELL UP WITH TEARS. HE LEFT BEHIND A FAMILY AND FIANCEE TORN ABOUT BY HIS DEATH. WELL, HE COMES BACK AS A SPIRIT AND HAS A JOB TO STRAIGHTEN OUT HIS FAMILY AND HIS FIANCEE'S BEFORE HE CAN ENTER INTO HIS ETERNAL LIFE. ONLY HIS MOTHER AND YOUNGER BROTHER CAN SEE AND HEAR HIM. THIS IS A GREAT STORY LINE BUT THIS IS WHERE STEEL FALLS SHORT. THE READER IS LEFT IN LIMBO AS TO HOW JOHNNY PERFORMS HIS MIRACLES, WHERE HIS ASSIGNMENTS COME FROM AND HOW HE GETS FROM PLACE TO PLACE. IF STEEL HAD FILLED IN THESE GAPS THIS STORY COULD HAVE BEEN HER BEST.
I AM NOT SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD NOT READ THIS BOOK, BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY, AND THE ENDING DOES HAVE ITS MERITS, BUT JUST DON'T EXPECT TO MUCH.

Summary: All Too Real!
Review: This story was so believable that it could have been a true story. It had me (at times) both laughing and crying. If you are into stories that grab you right from the get-go then you will love JOHNNNY ANGEL. The characters are believable and the plot realistic what more do you want in a book of this nature? Buy the book you'll be glad you did!

Summary: An OK book
Review: To be honest, I was pretty let down by this book. I've read many of Danielle Steel's other works, including the book she wrote about her Son, Nick Traina, to which I thought this book would be related. Unfortunately I was wrong in that assumption. Reading her other works I've been privy to her writing style and have enjoyed it very much. Although this book was a quick read - I too finished it in less than a day - I was disappointed in the lack of character and plot development. It seemed like there were many opportunities for her to elaborate during certain parts of the story, yet she didn't.
I did like the story line, and it definitely was emotionally moving. However, for someone looking for a well developed story line and more detailed writing, you may want to look elsewhere.

Summary: What I Think Of Johnny Angel......
Review: What I think of the book, Johnny Angel, is that is a great book because even though it wasn't a realistic book I still loved it. In this book you can celebrate life, death, a little boy speaking, a family's love for someone loss, and so much more. The book is happy at times and sad at times, and sometimes it will make you want to laugh or just cry your eyes out. This was the first Danielle Steel book that I have ever read, but after reading it I would have to say that I will read more books that she has written. I would say it deals with the problems that any family suffering a loss would go through; a mother and father dealing with a loss of a son, brothers and sisters dealing with a of a loss of a sibling, and a girlfriend or boyfriend going through the loss of a significant other. Personally I think it is a great book to read if you're dealing with a loss of your own. Since I read this book while I was going through a loss of my own I think it helped relate to the book a little bit more and also helped me get through my loss.
In this story the beloved, athletic, and smart Johnny Peterson gets into a car on with his girlfriend, Becky; and in an effort to save everyone else in the car he swerves so he is the only one hit. Johnny is the only one killed. His mother and Becky are devastated when they find out, his father becomes a drunk, his mute brother gets worse, and his sister is fighting for even more attention. Alice Peterson, his mother, had gotten sick from starving herself and had to go into the hospital where all of a sudden she starts to see and speak with an angel, its Johnny. He helps her get back on track in life, so she can help him help the family. Then he appears to his mute brother, Bobby, and helps him be comfortable around people and also talk. Johnny helps his father, Jim, stop drinking and with his job; and helps his sister, Charlotte get the attention of her parents, mainly her father. She helps Becky move on from him and find someone else for her to love. But, most of all he lets the people who cared for him the most forget about him. By: Hannah D.
