Summary: Mirror Image
Review: This was a fast read, as many of Danielle Steels books are. This book was about two sisters that had completly different out looks on life, but look identical "Mirror Image", as the book states numersous times. The sisters played harmless tircks on friends and family because no-one could tell them apart but a maid. But as they got older Victoria found a love that could ruin the family name and her father forced her to marry a man with a good name and forced her to forget about her trouble relation ship. Victoria tried as hard as she could to love the man her father demanded her to marry. Well Victoria asks her sister Olivia to take her place in her marriage so she can go off and support womans rights... little did Victoria know that Olivia secretly had feelings for Charles. And now I will let you learn the rest for yourself.The book all in all was great. I didn't like the way they kept reminding you that the two girls were identical but had very, very differnt opinions on life. It was as if they didn't bring it up every chapter we might forget. I would definitally recommend this book.

Summary: Dot's Review
Review: To me, this book was far too long for the plot. I became so bored just waiting for something to happen that I quit the book right in the middle; skimmed to the end to see who the killer was. The plot would have been a good one had she not drug it out so long.

Summary: How many volumes did it speak?
Review: Note to self: The magazine aisle in the supermarket is NOT a good place to buy books. Because that's where I got this one. To be honest, the first half (pre-bad twin flits off to war) wasn't bad (for a DS book). Sure, it was corny as hell and if you hadn't caught on to the fact that the main characters (identical twins - one of whom is the Standard DS character, the other of whom is selfish and spoiled) were wildly beautiful and MIRROR IMAGES of each other, you'd have to be a moron - but it was the typical, brainless fare. Then it got insulting. Danielle wrote the personalities of the twins to be so far-flunggedly removed from each other to seem ridiculous - and then devoted paragraphs telling the reader which twin was which. Just beat me over the head with a 2x4 a little more, Danielle. And when you're done, for the sweet love of Jeebus, get yourself a new catchprase! I don't know HOW many times the phrase "...spoke volumes..." was in this book - I guess I lost count. Their beauty spoke volumes, their individuality spoke volumes, their toenail clippings spoke volumes. As I think about it, perhaps this is a subtle little trademark of Danielle's that she uses in all her books...

Summary: A sisters love
Review: Mirror Image is the story of "mirror" twin sisters Olivia and Victoria. The two have been raised since birth by their father who cannot tell them apart. When they were children they would "switch identities" to do things the other twin didn't want to or couldn't do. They try to pull this off in adulthood after Victoria has an affair with a married man and then is forced to marry her father's lawyer. To add some spice to the story Victoria's sister Olivia is very much attracted to Charles, the lawyer, and his young son Geoff. Geoff was on the Titanic with his mother when it sunk. She died and so now Charles is raising Geoff on his own. This is why he agrees to marry Victoria. The "switch" occurs after Victoria decides she cannot be married anymore and wants to go to Europe to help with the War. This story seems to be about a good twin and a bad twin. As sweet as Olivia is Victoria is just as bad. The story was OK but it seemed to take forever to set up everything. The switch doesn't take place until halfway through the book. After that things seem to move more quickly and the story becomes more entertaining. The characters are typical of those found in Danielle Steel novels. The whole "switching" storyline did seem to be a little far-fetched to me. How could a husband not know that someone else was pretending to be his wife?? In fact, no one seemed to notice that Olivia was standing in as Victoria. I just don't see how this could happen in real life. This was an OK read to pass the time. I have read much better Danielle Steel books. I would recommend Malice, No Greater Love, The Ring, or Lightning instead of this book.

Summary: Mirror Image was boring to me
Review: What an interesting story by Danielle Steel! The two identical twin sisters, Victoria and Olivia, switched places often as children to fool people. Now, as adults during the backdrop of WWI, they switch places again...only this is not a game. Victoria becomes involved with volunteering to help wounded soldiers in France. Olivia takes over her life back in the States. The plot then goes through ups and downs. But, through it all, the sisters keep their unbreakable bond. The ending is somewhat of a suprise, as I did not expect it from a Steel novel. The story progresses slowly at first, but it is well worth the wait. By the time you get to the backdrop of the war, you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: I'm glad I don't have a twin!
Review: After reading this book, I'm so glad there is only one of "me".
This is a novel that keeps you reading...surprises & all.
You love to hate some of the characters. If you have a long weekend or extra time, pick it up, you won't be able to put it down
