Rating: Summary: Not her worst, but not her best Review: A novel that takes place at the turn of the century and follows one young woman's progress as the history of airplanes and aviation becomes popular in the early 1930's. This is not the best Steel has written. For one thing, it's horrendously repetitive. This is a novel for when you are very distracted and need to be reminded constantly of plot details. This is a novel for when you are not looking for anything too deep and heavy.The edition I read was a very repetitive 631 pages in large print. Steel obviously did research into the beginnings of aviation and airplanes and anyone who is interested in the history of air, flights, and transportation will enjoy this, provided you keep in mind it is very long and the writing doesn't have much depth. The closest author I can compare this story and Steel's writing to, is Fern Michaels. If you like author, Fern Michaels's plots and writing style, you will like "Wings" by Danielle Steel. Steel was, apparently writing more lengthy and involved novels back in the mid 1990's. I just wish the writing wasn't so cliched and repetitive.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic book, couldn't put it down Review: As usual, Danielle Steel is at her best. This had to be one of the most fantastic books I have EVER read. She's brings you right in to her story as if you were living it. She makes you feel exactly what the characters are feeling, want what the characters are wanting and more!If you read this book, I can guarantee you WON'T be disappointed, except when you have to put it down.
Rating: Summary: A great Danielle Steel Review: I have been reading Danielle Steel's books for over 15 years now. Sometimes they do get a bit "all the same" with most of the characters being important, successful, beautiful people who live in "stately homes" and wear "important jewels and furs". Sometimes I think the characters are more about what they have then who they are. Despite this, I always enjoy her books - they are easy to read, romantic and make you forget about everyday life for a couple of hours while engrossed in the book. Personally I think her earlier books are more enjoyable and get more involved in the characters than some of the later books she This book is one you will really enjoy - the main character is Cassie and she is so confident in herself that you just want to be like her. Stands up to everyone and still is a lovely person. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: The book "Wings" was a wonderful love story!!! Review: I just loved this book. I can read it a 1000 times and not get tired of it. I love the way Danielle Steel sets the story. I wish she would come out with a sequel to this book and continue the story!
Rating: Summary: im not really sure of what to title this Review: I read this book when I was a freshman in college. This was a book that I read instead of getting ready for finals. Let me tell you there were times when I wish I could have reached in the book and rung Cassie's neck. I just fell in love with this book and I could not put it down. I must say out of all the books I have read, this has and will remain my favorite. I just loved the way she fell in love with her father's friend and I just wish that Damion had never walked into her life. He made things very frustrating for me.
Rating: Summary: I Just Don't Get It! Review: I really enjoyed the last 6 chapters. Until then, the book was slow, boring, repetitive, and dull. I never could see what others were giving such high reviews about.
Rating: Summary: I loved this book... Review: It's so interesting to put yourself in someones shoes...someone so different than yourself. You have to imagine what it would be like to want things you can't have, in a different place & time. This story puts you there, it's a little slow at first, but makes up for it in the end.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Book to Date Review: This was my first Danielle Steel book I ever read and I can't stop reading her books now. This story was so powerful that I finished the book in a day. Cassie's story makes me proud to be a woman because she believed in herself to follow her dream.

Rating: Summary: Danielle Steel's " Wings" Review: This was one of the best stories that were ever written by the hand of a talented female author. The book takes place right after World War I and during World War II. The main characters, Nick Galvin and Cassie, are well developed and always were attracted to each other and fall in love, no matter how much Nick protests to it because he feels to old to do so and for her. The villain is cunning, ambitious, and hateful enough to want to ruin whatever happiness that both characters have. As one of Danielle Steel's fans, I want you to read this terrific novel and enjoy it's love story, historic events, and learn how women were treated in those times.
