Irresistible Forces

Rating:
Summary: UGGGGH
Review: this is absolutely the last steel book i EVER buy. this was just SO predictable and she just repeats the same things over and over. i read this in 24 hours, mostly because i just skipped page after page. how this got to be a bestseller is beyond me, although i guess i contributed by buying the dumb thing. no more.

Summary: What's going on?
Review: I thhink her books are getting worse, she seems to be spilling them out far too quickly qithout giving much thought to the plot. Her books are virtually all the same with only the names and location and jobs different, the rest the same. I think I could write a book similar to hers in 5 minutes flat! If you are reading this Danielle, be more creative, otherwise you will lose a lot more readers

Summary: Just say no
Review: I used to be a big fan of Danielle Steel, eagerly awaiting every new release. Well, now there are too many new books and not enough good ones, capped most recently by this very boring book. It seems to the reader as though Ms. Steel has used up all her ideas and keeps regurgitating them over and over (and OVER) again. She either doesn't give her readers enough credit for being able to see where the story is going, or, more likely, she keeps repeating herself, CONSTANTLY, so that it fills up space and she can meet her page quota. Not one of these characters was remotely sympathetic, and no good reason ever came along for breaking up Steve and Meredith. Conveniently, they each had someone to go to so I guess that makes it OK? I don't know -- I don't care either. Next time she writes a book, I will NOT be the first one at the store to buy it -- I'll wait and read the reviews here before I waste my time.

Summary: What a snooze!
Review: I'm not a big Danielle Steel fan, but I have read a few of her novels and found them interesting. Unfortunately, "Irresistible Forces" was not one of those novels. This story started in slow mode, but I kept reading with the hope that I'd be drawn to the characters, etc. By page 241, I realized that my expectations were too high! Don't waste your time with this book.

Summary: Disappointed in Irresistable Forces
Review: I was very disappointed by this current Steele book. If you go back to some of her earlier books, those were good books with good characters. This book is weak on emotion and on characters. The reader gets the feeling that neither Merrie or Steve really cared about their relationship. If you want to read a good Steel book go back to the Ring or Message from Nam.

Summary: Very disappointng
Review: I've read every one of her books, and this was one of her worst. Save your money and your time.

Summary: A real scream:
Review: On the second page, so many things screamed: the kids, the sirens, the mom, the crowds--then it was my turn. I screamed and, by some irresistible force, was compelled to throw this book out the window. Baaaaaaaaaad.

Summary: Boring With a Capital B
Review: First of all, I love Danielle Steel Books. My favorite being Mirror Image and Klone and I. But Irrrestible Forces was completely boring and lazy book writing. I had to struggle to finish the book.I agree with one the critic which accuse Danielle Steel of racial stereotyping. Not that I think Danielle Steel is a racist. It just the characters were either too unbelievable or not balance. Don't get this book get Mirror Image instead.

Summary: Wake Me When It's Over
Review: I was really disappointed in this book...it was redundant, drawn-out, predictable, BORING. It should've been a short story due to lack of plot.

Summary: Disappointing Not Much of A Story
Review: There wasn't much more to this book then what was written on the cover. Only ONE thing towards the end that wasn't mentioned on the cover, and that didn't effect anything. It never "grabbed" me, kept boring me with details that made no difference to the story whatsoever. Same things over and over and over, like we didn't get it the first 5 times before. It was as if a child with simple language had written this story. I kept reading and hoping SOMETHING interesting would happen, but then the book ended. Save your money or I'll sell you my copy, CHEAP. :)
