Rating: Summary: Amazon wouldn't let me give no stars!! Review: I'm glad that I got this from the library instead of spending my money on it. The heroine of this book has no redeeming qualities; I was rooting against her for the entire book. Every plot 'twist' was screamingly obvious. The characters were under-developed, and a huge suspension of disbelief was required to buy into the whole story. I think this is the last Steel book that I will read.
Rating: Summary: FLUFF!!! Review: This the first (and last) time I have read a Danielle Steel book. Talk about waste. This book is written for people that have a 5 second attention span. There is NO development of characters. The author glosses over months/years of time by saying... "Five months later"... or "It had now been three years..." This book reminds me of a Melrose Place episode...a lot of action, no substance.
Rating: Summary: Very Predictable! Review: This book is an utter disappointment! It deviated from the usual suspenseful and riveting works of Steel. The plot and the characters are very predictable. This book is a waste of time and money!
Rating: Summary: forget it! Review: I have always enjoyed Steel's books in the past...but forget this one! BORING!!!! It took determination and many efforts to finally finish, which I believe I should even have bothered to finish. Wait for her next book, or just get this in paperback, as if THAT would even be worth the price.
Rating: Summary: A boring read with little suspense Review: This is obviously Ms. Steel's weakest story and by far the least romantic. The dialogue is trite and the relationships "old". It is more an expose on alternative lifestyles. I certainly hope the author can refresh herself next "go around".
Rating: Summary: Steel has gotten all too predictable. Review: This book has convinced me to give up on Danielle Steel altogether. I loved her books, but this book has fallen into a predictable pattern and no longer interest me at all. What I most dislike about these books (and, unfortunately, this goes back to her earlier ones also--even though it didn't bother me as much then) is the way the female ALWAYS gets into danger herself toward the end of the book.
Rating: Summary: Cause of Death: Weak ending. Review: Good beginning, a lot of distracting characterizations in the middle, and Steel's affliction for bad endings caused the death of this book.
Rating: Summary: Very poor!!! Review: a story with a neurotic self-obsessed woman. This was very poor and I will hope upon hope that the next will be a tad better, come on, let's get it on!
Rating: Summary: Poor characterization and lack of attention to detail. Review: For years I'd wanted to pick up a book by Danielle Steel. I have been disappointed by this book. No plot, no character, no nothing! Get something else, PLEASE!!!
Rating: Summary: A boring and disappointing book. Review: What a disappointment! A boring story and uninteresting characters make you wonder how you managed to finish the book at all.
