Granny Dan

Summary: What a disappointment!
Review: This book is your basic summer "no thinking required" read. I (like several other reviewers) was totally shocked at the amateurish editing... assuming this book was edited at all. It was a waste of money, and I'm ticked off that I bought it. :-( The story's setting had a lot of potential, but DS never went anywhere with it... she just re-played the same old romance cliches over and over. This was my first (and probably last) DS book.

Summary: Danielle Steele's Latest is Bitter Pill
Review: Danielle Steele's latest work was obviously the result of a tight publishing schedule and too many conjunctions. I, unfortunately, heard the audio version, and I found it difficult to keep track of the many illnesses of the protagonist, who had - let me see - severe influenza, morning sickness, a bad abortion, and a banged-up foot. She was constantly in bed - either ill or with her adle-brained doctor-lover, who was stupid enough to go to Siberia to the Czar instead of running away to exotic Vermont with Granny Dan. Forgive me, Steele lovers, but this one really stunk!

Summary: Isn't it funny what a couple of weeks can do!
Review: When I first read a review on this book I checked out what everyone else thought about it. At that time I read a lot of favorable reviews. The combination of all readers gave the book 5 stars. In the amount of time for me to receive the book, read it and put in my two cents; it has changed to three stars. Isn't it funny what a couple of weeks can do? For the most part I enjoyed the book. But I also think Danielle Steel is losing her touch.

Summary: Nice summer read!
Review: As someone who can only read Danielle Steele once a year, I found this book a good summer read. Its quick, not too involved and just enough romance to keep your interest. The main character although suffering some of life's heartaches isn't bombarded with them like many of Steele's other leading characters. I also liked the touch of history throughout the book because you know how that's going to work out. What Steele does nicely in this book is that she keeps you guessing as to how the true facts will impact on the lives of the main characters. All in all if you're planning to sit by the pool or beach, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Great
Review: I was disappointed by Bittersweet. But I felt redemmed by Granny Dan. It's was a well-written love story maybe a little predictable but delightful. Kudos Danielle Steel

Rating:
Summary: Definitly not her best
Review: I thought it was real predicable. There was a lot of repetition. The charecters were weak. It was difinitly not her style.

Rating:
Summary: Very entertaining
Review: I thought this was a very good book. I've been a little disappointed with some of her books (ie., The Clone - which I thought was written to meet a publication deadline). D. Steele is a great writer and I wish she would spend more time telling the story and giving a little more history but I guess we can't have everything. I thought it was a very good story ...............

Summary: A Sweet Tale of Love
Review: Even with that lovely little how-we-met plot it's terribly predictable and abruptly short. She just sped through the ending! This could have been another hit bestseller if it weren't for that.

Summary: A Grave Disappointment
Review: I was very disappointed with Granny Dan as I have with the last few books by Danielle Steele. I haven't read a good one from her in years. Maybe it's the assistants that she is relying on or maybe she is just trying to chrun them out too fast but I'm one reader who doesn't think she'll be going back to Steele again. Sorry to say that a master has fallen.

Summary: Not worth the time
Review: I have not read a Danielle Steel in a couple of years, as I was burned out on them, and now I know why. The characters are unrealistic, the story is the same-beatiful person that everyone loves has problems. Blah, blah, blah...
