Rating: Summary: If those were my kids I would teach them a lesson! Review: I have never picked up a Danielle Steel book where I have hated the characters so much. Amanda is a fifty year old woman, but doesn't believe she should wear protection? No too bright. Both Amanda's and Jack's kids were spoiled little brats with too much time on their hands to complain that their 50+ parents were having sex and were actually enjoying it. I am only 21 years old and cannot believe that there would be any kids out there in the world that could be so spoiled and bratty. One good thing with this book is that if you want a light read you won't be disapointed.
Rating: Summary: A beautifully written love story that you can't put down! Review: I never read Danielle Steel before in my life, because I thought most of the plots she had in her books were too mushy and boring. God knows what made me interested in this book. The first few chapters go slow, but when Jack and Amanda get together, all the excitment begins. 'Special Delivery' is a very emotional story and is a lot of fun to read if you like love stories. As a seventeen year old girl, I thought, after reading this book, that it is okay to be ages sixty and fifty, and still act twenty years younger. After all, life is short, right? : ) The only annoying fact in this book is that almost everytime Jack and Amanda see each other, they always end up in bed with each other as if the world is going to end within a second. On the other hand, the book is nothing, but a wonderfully cute love story with strong emotion and feelings.
Rating: Summary: typical Danielle Steel Review: I read Special Delivery in a few hours-only about 200 pages. It was a very light read. The characters are pretty much one-dimensional. The plot was also pretty predictable with everything working out just fine in the end. It's a nice book to pick up if you have some time to spare and want to read something that's not too taxing, but don't expect any earth-shattering revelations in this one
Rating: Summary: Cute love story Review: I thought this was one of the smaller novels that Danielle Steel was able to actually pull off. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan, it's just that about half of her smaller books aren't worth the reading time. This one though I really enjoyed. I think it was just the overall story & the characters. If you're looking for a quick love story I'd recommend The Gift & Five Days in Paris. Those are both great reads as well.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Review: If you are interested in an evening's reading
that is light and comical this is the book that
you will want to read. I casually chose this
book and ended up reading the whole book!
I found myself laughing out loud, and the next
morning reading different parts of the book to my husband
and he began to laugh with me. My daughter also
joined in with us and we reviewed many areas of the story. So, if you want to pass a pleasant
evening "Special Delivery" will brighten your life.

Rating: Summary: A Special Delivery Review: If you need a good laugh,read this book.I laughed til I cried.Full of laughter and romance
Rating: Summary: Short and Sweet Review: Ms. Steele has captured the essence of love in the later years of life. The story is light reading that ends with your wishing there was a sequel.
Rating: Summary: Certainly Far Fetched But Somewhat Enjoyable Review: Not necesarilly the most serious piece of fiction on the market. But since when is fiction supposed to be serious?The emotions of loneliness are deeply explored in Danielle Steele's novel Special Delivery. And they are done quite well. But who would figure that a party would kindle a romance between the newly widowed Amanda and a long time bachelor, Jack? And oh what different personalities between Amanda and Jack. The main thing they have in common is the family connection from each of their former spouses to their children and children in law. Some soap opera like trials and tribulations occur between Jack and Amanda and their children that rival the stuff you might witness on One Life To Live and All My Children. You cannot take the novel so seriously. But somehow there are enough twists and turns to keep most audiences at least remotely intrigued. Its short length of 229 pages makes it an amusing light read instead of a long drawn out bore.
