Irresistible Forces

Rating:
Summary: Who really wrote this?
Review: Did Danielle Steel really write this book? It seems like it was written by an amature. It was quite repetetive -- How many times did she have to tell us that Steve and Merrie were in love and devoted to each other. I couldn't wait to finish it just so I wouldn't have to read it any more. She needs to go for quality in her books, not quantity, seeing how many she can write in one year. I have read every one of her books, but they have really been going down-hill, and I hesitate to read any future books.

Summary: Trash
Review: Of course Danielle Steel didn't write this book. Haven't all of you heard she has a slew of writers penning these books for her? How in heavens name can you write and publish 2-3 books a year and expect them to be of any quality. The story was a big disappointment. Meredith and Steve were married, BUT they didn't have a marriage. I can't say Meredith got much out of her life with Steve except to say that she had a warm bed to come home to whenever she wanted too. Purely a selfish woman. Steve at least cared for humanity and truly loved and wanted Meredith to be happy as you can tell, when he encouraged her to take the job in California. He is better off with Anna, and Meredith and Cal deserve each other! Danielle Steel used to be a pretty good author.

Summary: Boring
Review: Over the years I have collected many of Daniell Steels's books. But lately I have found that they are not worth buying. I go to the library. I can still read them but have not invested in her retirement plan. This book was her worst. The morality of her books has gone down hill also. Now it seems to be just divorse for any reason is OK

Summary: And, and, and, and, and, and......
Review: I have only read an excerpt of this book and based on it I will not buy the book. The increasing use of the word "and" is really getting to me. Where is the editor! Am I the only person who has noticed how many sentences are started with "And" in Ms. Steele's books?

Summary: My first ever Danielle Steele book!
Review: I have never read Danielle Steele before, but I got "Irresistible Forces" for Christmas. I found the plot to be very predictable, and the style of writing very repetitive. I would almost say it was boring! I also found myself not liking the main female character, Meredith, who seemed very self centered and whiny with no depth of character. I actually was glad when Steve left her. In all fairness, and after reading the other reviews, I believe that this is not Ms. Steele's best book. A friend of mine, an avid fan, has lent me three other novels to try, including "Message from Nam", which, according to reviews on line, is very good. So I will try a few more novels before judging too harshly, and see what happens!

Summary: I thought I was having a nightmare...
Review: until I realized I actually read this piece of fluff. Danielle, just because you're been divorced several times, doesn't mean the rest of the world can't have success and love also. I have every hardback written by her and this one is one for the circular (trash can). Very boring, repetitive, and not her usual style. She must be financing another divorce. Save your cash, borrow it from the library if you must.

Summary: I Can't Believe I Read The Whole Thing
Review: Danielle Steel's books have been going downhill, but this is truly the bottom. Repetitive, very little plot, unsympathetic characters, bad sentence structure ... I could go on and on, but it would be as bad as the book. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Summary: IRRESISTIBLE FORCES
Review: SEEMS TO BE THE SAME STORY I READ BEFORE. I READ IT HALF WAY THROUGH AND GAVE UP. I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. NOT A GOOD STORY. I HAVE READ MOST OF HER BOOKS.

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I am a big fan of Danielle Steel. This book started out very slow and was hard to really get into it. She put so much into the characters about their background and such, that it made the end disappointing to me a least.

Summary: I really enjoyed this book!
Review: I guess we all read books for different reasons. I got this book for Christmas. I quickly went to the review section on Amazon.com and was deflated to read some of the reviews on this book. I really enjoyed this book! It took me away from my world for 3-4 days and that is what I needed after Christmas. Thanks Danielle for this terrific book-it really added to my holidays!
