Rating: Summary: I'm not one to read books, but I'm glad I picked this one up Review: I am not a big "book reader" but once I started reading this book, I was anxious to finish it to see how it ended. I really enjoyed it. I think you will too.
Rating: Summary: AS ALWAYS A GOOD BOOK Review: I have read almost all of Steel's books and fell in love with most of them, this one was no exception. I could feel the love between the characters and waited for things to happen.If you like this book you might also love Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher! It is fantastic, and she very much writes in the same fashion. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. "Stolen Moments " which is reminiscent of "Love Story" is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. Like"Love Story" it is about a dying woman who has found true love. It is the love story of the nineties."
Rating: Summary: I had such a difficult time getting through this book. Review: I love Danielle Steel, but it took me quite awhile to get through this book. It was not an enjoyable read as many of her other books. I have read many many of her books and this was one of only 2 that I would not give a 4 or 5 star.
Rating: Summary: Worst book I ever read Review: I read this book in the hopes of learning what made Danielle Steel such a successful writer. I was looking forward to romance, Parisian atmosphere, tension, soap opera... Blech. This was the worst book I ever read. This author is wasting precious trees, nay forests! Don't buy this book!!! There is nothing redeeming about it.

Rating: Summary: wonderful romance reading! Review: I really enjoyed this book. I have just become a big Danielle Steele fan. I have always been a die-hard Lavyrle Spencer fan and am really pleaseed with Danielle. I would recommend this book to any romance novel reader!
Rating: Summary: 5 Days In Paris-5 Wasted Hours Review: I really really like Danielle Steel. Or, rather I used to. She is to the romance genre what John Grisham is becoming to the legal-beagle world. The title , "Five Days In Paris" was provocative. However the content is just too similar to every other Steel sing songy recent book. The plot could have been so much more developed. A bomb scare, two people from America in Paris and they meet. And most know the rest. I must admit, I should have spent the 5 hours NOT reading this mundane novel. Shopping for lug nuts would have been better time management! Hopefully Ms. Steele will get some--steel & attempt to put a little more grit in her books. Right now she reminds me of a guy dating mother goose! other reading suggestions: "The Ghost" by Danielle Steel, "Exclusive" by Sandra Brown, and "Ashes To Ashes" by Tami Hoag I appreciate your interest & comment votes--CDS
Rating: Summary: It was good, but not one of her best. Review: I think danielle could of written a better one!!! but thats just my opionon. I read her book for a report actually in college. My Professor had read it before and we had a long chat about how she could of went more "into depth"
Rating: Summary: five days in paris Review: I think it was one of her best next to fine thin
Rating: Summary: only so-so Review: I used to read Danielle alot until it seemed like her stories were just cookie cutter versions of the previous book. So I stopped reading her. I picked up and read this book hoping that things had changed and I find they really haven't. I enjoyed reading this book but by the end I was getting impatient for it all to end. It seems like the same plot over and over with just different names thrown in. At least this one wasn't set in San Francisco!
