Summary: A taste of the real world.
Review: I thought this book overall wasn't bad. I thought that, like many of Mrs. Steel's books, it had quite a few sob scenes that seemed to never end. A good read for the summer.
Rating:
Summary: A good read.
Review: As a Danielle Steel fan, I do have to say that this book, like many of her others, is very good. Although some of the characters and plot feels melodramatic and at times a little monotonous, overall it was a heart-warming story. Nice job, Mrs. Steel.
Rating: 
Summary: A comfort book...
Review: This is the kind of book that, in spite of its simplicity and quiet plot, you just can't put down. I found myself drawn to it at every available moment.

Summary: A touching story about unselfish love.
Review: The title tells you everything. A young teenage woman faced with a pregnacy that she is to young to handle, who must face the ultimate decision of her life, does she keep the baby or give it up for adoption?This is a wonderfully told story of all the emotional conflicts and feelings a young woman goes through while trying to come up with a solution that will affect not only herself, but the life of the unborn child. This is a tender tale, well written, and full of emotions that pluck the heart strings.
Rating: 
Summary: This is not a novel, it is a synopsis of a novel.
Review: The gift is the perfect example of telling, not showing. The Gift tells the story of carboard cutout characters. A good father and a bad father. A storybook loving family and a PC vision of an unhealthy one. Her cardboard cutout characters are perfect and oh so dramatic, and always, always, always! teary eyed. A cute little doll of a girl dies and no one, Steele tells us ad nauseum, "can bare it." I couldn't, anyway. This children's story was tedious, clichéd and trite in the extreme, thus earning its five star rating by Steele's readers. When Steele tells her fans to be moved by a story, they are. I was not.
Rating:
Summary: Very touching
Review: The book is truly good. It tells of what happens in real life. This book makes you cry and feel Maribeth's pain and sorrow, yet it makes you smile when there's still hope. I recommend this book to anyone who finds herself in a position similiar to Maribeth's. And to the ones who are not in Maribeth's position, read it! This book is a treasure for both young and old. And something both teenagers and parents can learn from.
Rating:
Summary: One of her best ever, real tear jerker.
Review: The gift is one of my favorite of all time but don't read it if you have a lot of emotional stuff going on in your life.
Rating:
Summary: Spectacular!!!! 10 stars!
Review: I am 17 years old, and this was the first Danielle Steel novel I have ever read. I am certian it won't be my last. This was the most detailed and discriptive piece of writing I have encountered. I decided to read it one evening around 11:30pm I didn't put down the book until 4:30 the next morning, when I finished the book! Her writing has turned me into a book worm for the rest of my senior year. In this novel, you fall in love with the story, the characters, and the time in which they live. I now have a greater appreciation for writing and authors abroad, but especially for Ms. Danielle Steel.

Summary: Danielle Steeles' Best
Review: I read this book in two hours! I couldn't put it down. Every emotion I could go through, I did! I went through a similar situation myself, and Danielle Steele told this story with all the compassion and insight as if she went through it herself.This one is a must read. Kudos to Danielle Steele.
Rating:
Summary: It was wondrful.
Review: All of Danielle's books are wonderful. This one is one of her best. I loved it because she had a young girl finding out where she belonged. It was a great story.
