The Klone and I

Rating:
Summary: Weak attempt
Review: This novel started out well, but halfway through degenerated into cheap romance, cliched writing, and a plotline straight out of a soap opera. I found myself unable to care about any of the characters or what happened to them. Steel insisted on telling us, rather than showing, the important details, a device which greatly weakens any writing.

Rating:
Summary: I thought it was going to be a romantic love story.
Review: I was rather depressed after reading this story. I can't believe that DS wrote this book. I kept hoping that stupid female would wake up and go back to her first love. I thoughtthe book might get better at the end but it didn't. I wish I had never read it.

Rating:
Summary: greatly disappointed
Review: I looked forward to reading The Klone and I, because I had so enjoyed Steels's previous novels. Part of the enticement to continue reading a book, however, is an identification with the characters. In this case, there wasn't any. There was none forthcoming. Instead, I kept on wishing they would use their native intelligence, rather than pure emotion (or in Steel's world, the scent or essence of emotion). I actually kept on reading just to see if they would come to their senses!! I was keenly disappointed, and in the end, their fates did not concern me. That is the ultimate failure of the novel.

Rating:
Summary: Mas o menos
Review: I really thought this book was going to go somewhere and as I got closer to the end, I was waiting for a great climax to the story. I was definitely disappointed in the end. Everything just kind of peters out and falls flat. I won't sum up the story .. that has been done before. However, I will say that I thought the book had some promise but after closing the cover I realized it was just an exercise in futility for me. All in all ... kinda blah.

Rating:
Summary: Unreal and Unbelievable
Review: I found this book to be so unreal and unbelievable that it was hard for me to relate to the story. I felt detatched from the characters and even bored at times. I also thought the main character was a poor representation of a woman, especially for her love life.

Summary: Prayed for this book to make some sense
Review: Sadly, there was no sense with this story. It was a piece of garbage, a TRUE waste of perfectly able and capable trees. Why did Danielle Steel have to go out and make a fool of herself with this piece of nothing, It's not even worthy enough to be called a book, or even a novella, or even a short story! I am so fummed about this book, get some sense the next time around please! I want a longer and better book, now!

Summary: Disappointed!!!
Review: I'd like to start this by saying that I'm a fan and am there to buy her books the minute they're available, and I was really looking forward to getting to know more about these new characters.. had enjoyed their arrival in her last book... but WAS SO DISAPPOINTED... it was never really developed and kind of "I don't know" what was she going for. from Emmet

Summary: A Second Disappointment
Review: Under most circumstances, I read a Steel novel in one evening -- but not this time. However, it was a completely different type of novel and had it been written by any author other than Steel, I probably would not have bought it. From now on, I'll just wait for the next novel. --3rd Tom

Summary: A Second Disappointment
Review: I was disappointed in the previous book, and vowed not to read another non-Scarpetta novel. But, I ordered The Klone and Ibecause I decided to give Danielle Steel another chance. I was so disappointed.

Summary: I didn't like this bo ok
Review: I used to take pride in the fact that I was a Steel fan, but I'm about to jump off the Steel band wagon. I was devasted by the clone and I. I wish this book would never have been published.
