Summary: I really enjoyed this book.
Review: But, what made me enjoy this book more was that I saw the movie before reading the book. I had a picture of the beautiful Crystal and handsome Spencer. But, I thought the movie should've been more like the book.

Summary: Star: Main character (M.S?)
Review: I first bought this book about two weeks ago, and since I reckoned Danielle Steel's books are decent and all right compared to other books I read, I thought I was going to like Star. And yeah, I did...for about the first three pages. The plot's decent enough. BUT. Yes, BUT. Throughout the entire story, all I kept reading was "Oh, she's such a nice girl." "Oh, she's such a pretty girl" "Oh, she's so innocent she could blah blah blah." Which pretty makes it hard for me to enjoy the book when my mind clearly rings out by the likes of MARY SUE!!! Crystal has an amazing voice, she's so sweet it's just..., Crystal is sooooo beautiful she attracts every single men nearby (or if not, they simply gawk at her), she has a terrible past (hints that she's a Mary Sue), and I could go ON forever! But that's just me, and that's my opinion of the book. These are NOT facts. But because I LIKE Danielle Steel, I'm going to try out another one of her books.

Summary: Danielle Steel's " Star"
Review: I found this book to be very disappointing. I loved the movie better than the book. The romance was not very well developed and well told. I mean, what is this feeling that they have that keeps forcing them together all the time? It certainly didn't sound like love. You just don't look at a person and say that you love him or her, you have to build a solid friendship with them first and then a relationship. Marrying the villain was not what I had in mind for the hero and the ending was quite well written however disappointing the whole story was. I don't recommend that you read this unless you are really a Danielle Steel crazed fan.

Summary: It's a Keeper
Review: I loved the story line. The book takes a girl, Crystal Wyatt,(around 12 years old)from the time she is being reared on a ranch in Northern California all the way through her life until she is about 28 years of age. Her life takes several turns that include victories and defeats, disappointments and rewards. It shows her strength that makes it possible for her to "bounce back" when others would be defeated. Crystal loves the land upon which she grew up. Her and her father made many memories during her childhood. He knew how much the land meant to her when it didn't mean that much to anyone else in the family. Crystal is rewarded for this in the end. I will agree with other critics that DS repeated herself often and I got the message that Crystal was beautiful about half way through the book. It became redundant to keep saying how beautiful she was. I felt like the author was afraid the reader would forget how attractive her main character was. But, I still recommend the book to everyone.

Summary: I Loved It!!!
Review: I saw the movie endless amounts of times and kept refering back to the book. Yes, it's a bit unreal but its a love story. I didn't cry like I usually end up doing after most of her movies and novels but I ended up with a really happy feeling in the end. The heroine prevails.

Summary: Redundant, Redundant, Redundant....
Review: I think this book had a great plot. And that's about it as far as greatness goes. I don't prefer her writing style. While reading through, it's hard to tell what character's feelings are being conveyed as she changes character thought in mid paragraph. I would rather hear one chapter from one character's point of view. I think that she tries too hard to get her point across by saying the same thing but in different ways. You can see it page after page. Crystal needed to get out of town. Crystal needed money first. Crystal needed to graduate, but she needed to get out of town. You get the point just by having it written once! Is there a word quota she was trying to achieve, hence the same sentences being thrown around?
I think it was just plain over written.
