Rating: Summary: Weak Storline, Bad Characters Review: The story has no real point. It seems to go nowhere fast and gives us no real reasons to want to finish. Sorry .. but she can and has done much better in the past. Lets hope for a return to the intense, spine tickling novels of the past and that this was just a one-timer. A few friends and I are poking fun at this badly written book we for some odd reason chose to read for the Book Club.
Rating: Summary: Poorly Written Review: After reading some of her previous works, I believe that this one was slapped together to meet a deadline. It lacks the characterization and thoughtful plot development
Rating: Summary: a dissapointing read Review: I must confess - I have not completely read this book - I've struggled through 3 chapters and am only doing so out of loyalty to an author that I have followed since the begining of her career. This book can scarcely hold reader interest for more than 1 page at a time. The character names are annoying; I'm still waiting for something more interesting. Let's make this short and sweet - I hate this book.
Rating: Summary: Please, Spare me Review: Being a huge fan of Danielle Steel's novels, I thougth she had learned her lesson with The Gif- her readers didn't care for those characters - they're dull and there was no there, there.
Rating: Summary: Forget THIS Review: A large online bookclub I'm in decided to read this book, heh, what a BIG mistake. Practically everyone hated this book, except this true die-hard Danielle Steel fan of ours. Hehe, to have some fun we all- yes ALL- of us decided to write a review for The Klone and I on Amazon.com, on the same day. I must say, there will be a barrel of laughs for all of us.
Rating: Summary: Did not like it at all Review: Have always enjoyed Danielle Steel books until this one. Too many characters, rather confusing. No real suspense to it.
Rating: Summary: Just Plain Old Boring Review: One of the few books I've read that I almost didn't finish. I read it all, but found no improvement by the end. I may never read again because of this! Okay, maybe that's a bit far, but this book was THAT bad.
Rating: Summary: A HUGE LOSS Review: I am a huge Steel fan, and own all of her books - including this one, unfortunately. The characters are boring, and completely unsympathetic. You simply don't care about them, their lives or their careers. The characters are sophomoric and immature. They bumble through the plot. The plot revolves around divergent themes, that are never satisfactorily wrapped up. The book ends, leaving to many ends unexplained and completely without tie-in. Don't waste your money on the hardback edition, but I doubt they'll come out with a paper back for this one.
Rating: Summary: Can't believe she put her name on this book of all things Review: Somelse must have ghost written this horror for Steel. Or else she must not have been feeling well at the time. A klone! It was a klone who did this!
Rating: Summary: VERY DISSAPPOINTING Review: I am an avid reader of all of Danielle Steel books, except this one. Characters are simply unbelievable and uninteresting.The prose at times is very bad and indeed sometimes the sentences really dont make much sense. Please bring back the old Steel fast!
