The Wedding

Rating:
Summary: This is definitely not her best work.
Review: I have been reading books written by Danielle Steel for about 25 years now. Her first books seemed to have more developed characters and were more complex with a good story line. This book, like her others, is about beautiful, rich, people but it is very blah. The word "and" is used so many times it becomes almost comical. It reminds me of developing writers, always adding details with ands. I didn't even finish this book. It definitely lets your mind wander while reading. I found this book lacking in all areas.

Summary: Awful book
Review: I thought that this book was one of her worst. Danielle Steel's character Allegra was awful. She was judgemental and narrow-minded. I think that Jeff's mother wasn't portrayed well at all. Instead of thinking of all that his mother had been through, Allegra could only think about herself and all that his mother had put Her through. It seemed that Allegra was also selfish and she blamed Jeff for their one fight which most married couples have before their wedding. I don't understand what Jeff saw in her at all. She also seemed to think of the wedding as more of a burden than the happiest day of her life. I can understand the stress yet Allegra seemed to think the wedding was more of a nuisance than anything. The book didn't go into depth at times and seemed to move slowly. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Summary: My Wife, Ellen, & I are Huge Fans of Ms. Steel's!
Review: "The Wedding" By Danielle Steel is a wonderful story about the upper class. A story Ellen and I got lost in.

Summary: A true-to-life love story
Review: I've always loved Danielle Steel's novels and this was not an exception. What I especially love about her stories is the way she brings her characters to life.
This story is very true to life - combining a wedding preparation with a real tough job.
I really liked Allegra's personality and courage, the way she realized what Brandon was doing to her and how she dealt with it. She's portrayed as a human being who is in love and kidding herself about the man she loves but who, in the end, finds a man who wants to love her for the rest of her life and protect her, and that is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a person!

Summary: A Capatviting love story
Review: The wedding is about the truths of Hollywood. Simon Steinberg, a major movie producer and his wife Blaire Scoot, an award-winning television writer are one of the most respected couples in Hollywood. They have three children, Samantha the young model who gets into a bit of a situation. Scoot the young athlete and straight A student at Stanford and Allegra the entertainment lawyer who barley has anytime for herself until she meets a New York writer who changes her life forever. This book shows the struggle of a family and how love overcomes their struggle. This book did not only show the glamorous side of Hollywood, but also how hard it is to live a normal life being someone famous. I can now sympathize with those who are famous. The profound thing about this novel is that it shows the true meaning of real love. It's definitely a tearjerker. Danielle Steel not only shows love between two people butl shows it through a loving family. To sum it up I would say Danielle Steele uses Hollywood as a backdrop to reveal the dreams, fears, and expectations of a ceremony that unties all and changes lives forever.

Summary: I cheated... I listened
Review: I listened to the book (unabridged on ausio cassette). This is my first venture into Danielle Steel and I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was pulled into the story and could hardly get out of my car because I couldn't stop listening. I think if I had the time I would actually sit and read this book and enjoy it.

Summary: Boringest book you'll ever find
Review: Danielle Steel is the boringest writer I have ever encountered in my entire life. This is the very LAST book by her I'll ever read. I've given her too many chances. Not one book that I've read by her wasn't boring. I love to read, and I appreciate good books, but Danielle Steel is way overrated. She is boring, prolific, uses the same story line, and worries about quantity not quality. I have many favorite authors, but Danielle Steel is not one of them. She is the worst author ever. ALL her books are the boringest books you'll ever find. Do NOT waste your time reading this book or any of her other books. We need to quit overrating her, and quit giving her so many chances to switch from quantity to quality, and move on to better authors. There are so many good authors out there, so why waste your time on BORING Danielle Steel?

Summary: My last DS book
Review: I had to write a review of this book because I am appalled that writing this bad can get through the editing and publishing process. The main character Allegra was so unbelievable, I really didn't care if she got married or not. I got so tired of hearing how beautiful she was (and didn't even realize it), her body was perfect despite no exercise and eating whatever she wants. This goes the same for all the members of her family, c'mon DS let's join the real world please!!!

Summary: Slow at First but Picks up.
Review: This is the first Danille Steel book I have read. I found it a great way to escape from reailty! There is no such place like the one she created which is ok by me. It was a lil slow going in the begining but interest did grow and I found it hard to put the book down! I would suggest this book to other readers who want to live in a fantasy world for a while. She definatly take you there!!
