Summary: What was Danielle thinking?
Review: I love Danielle Steel books. She has created some great female characters that I love being part of but I don't have a clue what she was thinking when she wrote this book. I can't give this book any stars. I kept reading thinking that somehow she would tie it all in together in a sensible fashion but she didn't. The main character has an affair with a clone? Please! I read until the end but I regretted sticking around so long!!!!! I only wished I hadn't bought the hardback and wasted so much money. Too far out!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Life After Love?
Review: Moving on from a loved one could be on of the hardest things to do. To start a new life for yourself, a life totally not like the last.
In the book The Klone and I the main character Steph was left by her husband when he remarried Helena. After the devastation she began to piece back the remains of her life. Later Steph decided to take a trip to Paris. In Paris life was looking clearer. Steph met a guy named Peter. He wasn't like all the others Steph tried to date. She enjoyed spending her time with him. After a long time, Steph started to see some sunshine breaking through the clouds. This book was a nice change from her usual form of sappy stories, yet I still enjoyed reading this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Wild One from Danielle Steel
Review: This book was hysterical!! A totally unexpected and wild one from a sometimes predictable author-I found this book to be downright funny and beyond satire, and I thought that most women who have hit the dating scene recently could definitely relate. I think you have to read this one tongue-and-cheek and just realize that it is a true departure from a talented writer who has been pigeon-holed a bit too much. Have fun and let go-this book will allow you to do both.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Don't waste your time or money.
Review: Aside of "Four Blondes" by Candice Bushnell, this is hands down THE WORST book I have ever read. If you like Danielle Steel (as I do) you will be sorely disappointed. I felt as though she had made a committment to write a book by a certain date and cranked this one out in one evening while drunk. Don't waste your time. If you want to read a good Danielle Steel, read "The Ghost" (my personal favorite) or "Summer's End" instead.

Summary: Danielle Steel Could Not Have Written This Book!
Review: I listen to audio books on an average of 5 books a month and have always been entertained by Danielle Steele's stories of love and relationships during my commute back and forth to work. "The Klone and I" is so awful I can only come to the following conclusion: 1. She had a contract to fulfill and pulled this out of her box of pre-professional writings (didn't it read like it was written in the early 70's?) 2. She let someone else have a go at writing under her best selling name. (Let's hope she wouldn't stake her reputation on this). 3. ????? Stephen King may come up with more thoughts.(The above ideas came to me when reading his WONDERFUL "Bag of Bones", the story of a best-selling author who has lost his ability to continue cranking out the fiction and goes to his "rainy day" stash of pre-written books.)

I was so horrified at this ridiculous book that I haven't read or listened to anything by Danielle Steele since ----- Was this just a bad mistake? Do her most recent published works get better?

This book ranks at the rock bottom of my worst books ever list.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Having problems to go to sleep?? This book's for you!
Review: I really am a big fan of Danielle Steel's books, but was I disappointed by this one! I looks as though she had to edit a book, no matter the content. I really didn't find the style I usually love, and the story really is bad. What is the point of telling us about bionic aerobics?? It doesn't sound real at all. Usually, i don't let her books down until it is finished, but i really had a hard time finishing this one, and to be honest, i didn't give a damn about the end of the book. If you are fans of Steel's books, do not read this book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A biotech failure
Review: Just like Ms. Steels other books, this also strives for a happy and fairy tale ending. But I have to sadly admit, that it was a miserable biotech mistake. The plot is living in super hi-tech times, as well as going about with daily chores like car pools and bluberry muffins. I couldn't decide the time frame this story was set in. It was a mistake trying to mix technology to that extend with simple household affairs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
Review: I picked this book up at a used bookstore, hoping it would provide me with an hour or two of entertainment. Was I EVER wrong! I just couldn't get past the first chapter. Was it redundant or what? Boohoo. Her gold-digger husband leaves her. But she doesn't love him. But she did love him. But she doesn't anymore. He was her best friend, but he's not anymore. Over and over and over, Ms. Steele repeats herself. After Chapter One I was sure that she would continue with the same mindless repetitive junk. If Ms. Steele continues to write lackluster paperbacks, I'll stick with other writers. Maybe it's time for her to retire!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indecision and Tranquility
Review: "The Klone and I" by Danielle Steel is a story about a woman who had, what she thought, a perfectly happy and fine marriage with two kids.

When Stephanie soon loses her husband to another woman, she begins to get her life back in order. She gets a whole new wardrobe, gets herself back in shape, and prepares to set out on the "dating scene" all over again just to find out it isn't the same picture as when she was last dating so many years ago. After two years of trying, she finally concedes to her unsuccessful search and decides that there are no longer any "good" men. Stephanie forces herself into accepting her life of loneliness.

Then, on a trip to Paris, Stephanie meets Peter. Peter, an intelligent man in computer bionics, opens her heart to love again... only to confuse it further when she unwittingly becomes part of a love triangle. A love triangle consisting of herself, Peter, and his clone... Paul Klone.

Stephanie must now battle with her heart and mind trying to decide which man she wants.

I thought this was an entertaining book with a break from the norm of Danielle Steel. At first I wasn't sure if I'd like this book, nearing the sci-fi world. I soon found three aspects about this book that made me fall in love with it.

First, this book was written in first person. I loved that!!! Stephanie was telling us her story... herself!

Second, this book was more like a comedy-romance. It was funny... Stephanie was funny!!

Third, this wasn't your typical Danielle Steel perfect mother, perfect family book. Stephanie often wished her kids weren't around and spoke jokingly once about dropping her kids off at a convent so she could have some fun. Also, her kids weren't the "perfect little children". Sometimes they were rude and uncooperative.

This was a little more like real life (except for the sci-fi clone part) and the thoughts Stephanie has are thoughts we all have everyday... although we may not want to admit it. I loved this book. It was a great escape from the heavy drama of Danielle Steel and it was simply FUNNY!!!
