Rating: Summary: Danielle Steele is "losing it"! Review: This book takes hours of reading to even get to anything remotely interesting or to move the plot along. Steele says the same thing over and over (I even found myself saying out loud "you already said that!"). I've had the feeling that she's "losing it" by trying to grind out too many books in too short a time. The last book of hers I picked up (The Klone and I) was so ridiculous that I didn't even finish reading it! Usually I look forward to her new books with great anticipation. Come on, Danielle...get with it!
Rating: Summary: Steel is back to her old self with this one, great story. Review: A book you can't put down. You care about the two women very much and what happens to them.
Rating: Summary: Another good Steel book Review: I really enjoyed Mirror Image. The characters Olivia, Victoria and Charles were very good. This is a very good read. Anyone buying this book will not be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Danielle should take a break Review: This book was long and boring. Danielle Steel should take a long vacatio
Rating: Summary: Another good one for Ms. Steel Review: Mirror Image was a good book. I really liked the twins and Victoria's stepson. The book is well worth reading. The end is sad, but a lot of Danielle Steel's book leave you feeling sad. There have been a only a few of Ms. Steel's books I didn't like, but most of them are good and I have read them all. Well all except the one about her son.
Rating: Summary: Worst Danielle Steel I've read Review: I like Danielle Steel, but didn't like this book at all. I thought the plot was incredibly weak, and was amazed that the heroine of the book would react like she did. I found it totally unbelievable!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, entertaining book - very different from Danielle. Review: I loved this book. My sister and I laughed out loud throughout the entire book. It was wonderful. I'd like to see more like this, Danielle.
Rating: Summary: Intriguing Review: I couldn't put it down. From the beginning you knew they were going to do something naughty - So you had to keep reading to find out what they did. Then - when they did the naughty thing - you had to keep reading to find out how they got out of it.
Rating: Summary: This book is terrific! Steel is back in style!!!! Review: I have not yet finished this book, but it is captivating from the start. Steel's characters are strong and once again you feel like best friends. I highly recommend this book!
Rating: Summary: Typical Steele: great historical romance with twins and war Review: Danielle Steel Delacorte, Jan 1999, 426 pp. Most people,including their father, are unable to identify Olivia and VictoriaHenderson from one another. When they were younger, the identical twins were always switching identities to fool other people. By 1913, the twenty-year old sisters' outlooks on life are diametrically different from one another. Olivia is very contented to live in quiet Croton with her semi-retired father, Edward. Victoria wants to live in New York City and tour Europe. When they go to New York on a vacation while their father conducts business, Victoria falls in love with a married scoundrel that leads to a devastating scandal and a miscarriage. Her father arranges a hasty marriage with one of his lawyers, Charles Dawson, whose wife died on the Titanic. Charles needs a mother to help raise his son. The newlyweds fail to get along and eventually Victoria decides to leave for France to help the allies against the Kaiser. She convinces Olivia to replace her. Olivia and Charles fall in love, but he thinks it is Victoria. What will happen when he learns about the deception is anyone's guess except those who read Ms. Steele's latest novel. Though this is a well written story, MIRROR IMAGE mirrors too many of Danielle Steele's previous works as she has used the subject of twins and war, and the location of Croton in several of her previous books. However, no one can deny that Ms. Steele can scribe an angst-laden historical romance that will thrill the author's myriad of fans and anyone who has never read one of her books before.
