Leap of Faith

Rating:
Summary: Easy and Simply
Review: For the sake of those who have not read the book,I do not want to give away the plot or the outcome of the story. But, I can recommend the book to anyone who likes to read a good story that is short, easy to read and the end of the story is easy to figure out early in the book. I enjoyed reading the book. It held my attention so I read it quickly.

Summary: Danielle can't write
Review: Good luck finding a daniele steel nivel with a different plot from every other danielle steel novel. But you might find one where the main character has a different career.

Summary: Gotta Have Faith
Review: Gotta have faith that this story does not end the way you think that it will. It was a very predicatable book from the start. This has been a pattern lately for Steels recent books. Maybe she shouldn't give so much away inside the front flaps. Once you read what the book was about you almost could of finished it for her.I am hoping that Lone Eagle my next read is a Leap in the right direction.

Summary: shame on the publisher
Review: I blame the publisher for this one. If Danielle Steel can write this drivel, than maybe I just might have a chance to be published some day. You certainly don't need any skill. I think Ms. Steel is running out of ideas, plus I am ashamed to even admit that I read this book!

Summary: I got this for my Mom as a gift
Review: I got this as a gift for my Mom and for a change she didnt complain about the book so I think it warrants 5 stars.

Summary: It was ok
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 was ok - the struggle of Marie making it on her own with only the support of her one true childhood friend makes it a great story but why does Danielle Steel keep doing this in her later novels: The story is going great and then all of a sudden it seems like she got to the required number of pages and finishes it up quickly and suddenly. It's frustrating when you get so involved in the lives of the characters and then it suddenly ends. Disappointing.

Summary: Have I read this before?
Review: I have read almost every book that Danielle Steel has written and I must say, this time she should have pushed herself away from the typewritter and taken a break. She has written the same story over and over. Her books used to have much more depth to them. Marie is the same ignorant girl that has been the main character in her more recent books. I was never able to determine what time period this was supposed to take place in but I have to wonder where the people were that were supposed to watch over this poor little orphan back in France. If you want real good Danielle Steel you would be better served to read No Greater Love or Kalidescope. Come on Danielle, your true fans deserve better.

Summary: Previous story line?
Review: I have read each one of Danielle Steel's books and think that I am going to give up on her. This story line has been used somewhere before - not sure if it was one of her books or another author. Maybe she is writing too often and has run out of ideas.

Summary: Disappointment, again...
Review: I really do believe that DS is a good author, but I think she is not taking the time to really develop her stories, and lately, the main characters have been very gullible, and they let the one they "love" walk all over them, while they let the good guy go, every time. I didn't care for for the way the book ended...it left me hanging. She didn't tell you how things worked out for Marie-Angee and Billy, and it never did give closure to why the aunt was as mean as she was to her niece. There were so many opportunities to redeem herself, and she didn't come through. I enjoyed reading it simply because DS wrote it, but I would try to borrow it from someone, or get it from the library! All in all, a disappointment

Summary: Great Book!
