Wings (Limited Edition)

Summary: Not her worst, but not her best
Review: A novel that takes place at the turn of the century and follows one young woman's progress as the history of airplanes and aviation becomes popular in the early 1930's. This is not the best Steel has written. For one thing, it's horrendously repetitive. This is a novel for when you are very distracted and need to be reminded constantly of plot details. This is a novel for when you are not looking for anything too deep and heavy.

The edition I read was a very repetitive 631 pages in large print. Steel obviously did research into the beginnings of aviation and airplanes and anyone who is interested in the history of air, flights, and transportation will enjoy this, provided you keep in mind it is very long and the writing doesn't have much depth.

The closest author I can compare this story and Steel's writing to, is Fern Michaels. If you like author, Fern Michaels's plots and writing style, you will like "Wings" by Danielle Steel.

Steel was, apparently writing more lengthy and involved novels back in the mid 1990's. I just wish the writing wasn't so cliched and repetitive.

Summary: A great Danielle Steel
Review: I have been reading Danielle Steel's books for over 15 years now. Sometimes they do get a bit "all the same" with most of the characters being important, successful, beautiful people who live in "stately homes" and wear "important jewels and furs". Sometimes I think the characters are more about what they have then who they are. Despite this, I always enjoy her books - they are easy to read, romantic and make you forget about everyday life for a couple of hours while engrossed in the book. Personally I think her earlier books are more enjoyable and get more involved in the characters than some of the later books she This book is one you will really enjoy - the main character is Cassie and she is so confident in herself that you just want to be like her. Stands up to everyone and still is a lovely person. Highly recommended.

Summary: im not really sure of what to title this
Review: I read this book when I was a freshman in college. This was a book that I read instead of getting ready for finals. Let me tell you there were times when I wish I could have reached in the book and rung Cassie's neck. I just fell in love with this book and I could not put it down. I must say out of all the books I have read, this has and will remain my favorite. I just loved the way she fell in love with her father's friend and I just wish that Damion had never walked into her life. He made things very frustrating for me.

Summary: I Just Don't Get It!
Review: I really enjoyed the last 6 chapters. Until then, the book was slow, boring, repetitive, and dull. I never could see what others were giving such high reviews about.

Summary: I loved this book...
Review: It's so interesting to put yourself in someones shoes...someone so different than yourself. You have to imagine what it would be like to want things you can't have, in a different place & time. This story puts you there, it's a little slow at first, but makes up for it in the end.

Summary: My Favorite Book to Date
Review: This was my first Danielle Steel book I ever read and I can't stop reading her books now. This story was so powerful that I finished the book in a day. Cassie's story makes me proud to be a woman because she believed in herself to follow her dream.

Review: This was the first of Danielle Steels books that I ever read. I instantly fell in love with her books. I can totally relate to Cassie and her love for an older man (Nick), for I have found myself in the same situation. Cassie was a women who was way ahead of her time. She showed strength and courage that many women of that time would not have. She made it through so much the loss of a brother, a close friend, her marriage and almost herself. And still she pined the whole time for Nick. I was so made at him when he said he could love her cause he had nothing to give her and he was too old for her. Apparently no one told him that age is a number and love is sometime enough. By the end of this book when Cassie goes to England i just knew she would find Nick. By the last page i was in tears for she had finally gotten what she had wanted all this time Nick the love of her life. I want to give this book to my man friend whos says hes to old for me! Love prevails and takes flight on Cassie and Nick's Wings!

Summary: Wings Made Me Fly
Review: when i was 15 i couldnt get past the first 10 pages. Now, im 17 its my senior year and i had to read a book. i pulled out Wings again, and discovered how wonderful it was. I was reading every chance i got. My mom was very happy too! =o)
I like how Danielle Steels books take place during something big. With Wings, the big event was the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and when the first woman tried to fly around the world. i liked this book, because i could really feel what Cass was feeling whenever she would talk or think, or spend time with Nick. ive never been a fan of the airplanes. but this book made me think differently. i loved the love story. Read it!
