Summary: ITS TIME FOR DANIELLE STEEL TO RETIRE- THE WORST EVER!
Review: I can not believe that Danielle Steel could have written this!! I have always read her books, but have noticed that after the publication of "Accident", it's been all downhill ever since. She probably wrote this in less than a day, and only because she had to produce something, anything, to fufill her contract. From now on if I decide to try to get through another one of her boring, senseless and tedious books, it will be a library check out. She should be ashamed for having even put this out. Danielle gets' an "F" for "Special Delivery".

Summary: worst book I've ever read
Review: I can overlook poor plotting if the characters are three dimensional or I am made to care about them in some way; I can overlook poorly drawn characters if the plot is really well done. But what I cannot abide is if a book does neither of these things well at all. And where were the editors on this one? There were so many run-on sentences I wanted to scream. I cannot believe that this woman's books are so popular. I read a lot of books--and this was the worst example of cheap writing I have ever seen. Don't waste your money! If I'd been able to leave a rating of less than one star, I would have.

Review: I could have written this book. It is terrible. 40 pages into the book the plot was revealed. You can do a better job, Danielle

Summary: How can this author be so popular??
Review: I do not understand how this could be possible, but I found this book to be totally predictable and unbelievable at the same time. I just could not sympathize with any of the characters, especially the grown children. Maybe I would have liked the story better without the Hollywood glitz, but probably not much. I always knew what was going to happen next, and throughout the whole book I just wanted to shout at the charcters "GET REAL!!" So far I have read about 20 books from this author and the only ones I've liked have been Mixed Blessings, Accident, Daddy, and The Gift. I'm seriously considering giving up on Danielle Steel. It amazes me that she's sold as many books as she has; I'm not even going to get into the grammatical problems she has. For good romance, I think I'll just re-read all of my Lavryle Spencer books.

Summary: A Speical Delivery
Review: I enjoyed this book, although not as much as I have enjoyed Miss Steels other books like Jewels, Once in a Lifetime, and Malice. It's about Amanda and Jack. Jack's son Paul is married to Amanda's daughter Jan. They never really hit it off until Amanda's husband died. Jan persuaded Amanda to go to a party at Jack's store Julie's. They had a great time together and fall in love. What do their kids say? What happens when over the hill Amanda gets pregnet? Read to find out.

Summary: DEFINITELY TOUCHING AND UNPUTTABLE!
Review: I have always been a Steel fan. But this particular book is one of the best I have read after 'No Greater Love". I mean, the story focuses on reality and love for family members. For people out there, this is definitely a 'MUST READ"!!!

Summary: I felt cheated by this book
Review: I have always loved Danielle Steel and have read most of her books so when I saw this one, of course, I bought it. Troughout the book I had the impression that she had written it in one afternoon. The story is as simple as one you would read in a magazine and totally predictable, so much in fact that as I kept reading what I expected happened, and I had to stop reading to get over my disappointment. This book IS NOT Danielle Steele and I felt betrayed because it felt like she just wrote a book because she needed to meet a deadline and the editors know that everybody reads Danielle Steele and did not take the time to realize that it might dissapoint her fans.

Summary: Danielle Steel is the best of the best
Review: I have been a fan since her first book, and will continue to read her books forever.. My all time favorite has to be Fine Things. I laughed and cried and really felt like I was in the story. The books that she writes, always makes me feel like I am there.

Summary: Not one of her best
Review: I have been reading Danielle Steel's books for over 15 years now. Sometimes they do get a bit "all the same" with most of the characters being important, successful, beautiful people who live in "stately homes" and wear "important jewels and furs". Sometimes I think the characters are more about what they have then who they are. Despite this, I always enjoy her books - they are easy to read, romantic and make you forget about everyday life for a couple of hours while engrossed in the book. Personally I think her earlier books are more enjoyable and get more involved in the characters than some of the later books she has written.
A book full of the "beautiful people". This one was predictable, kind of boring and I hated her children ... they were so immature and spiteful. I would definately recommend "Thurston House", "Palomino" or "Rememberance" over this one.
