No Greater Love

Rating:
Summary: I thought No Greater Love was the best thing I've read.
Review: No Greater Love was the first novel I have read. It gives good information about the Titanic. The book sucks you in and takes you on an emotional journey to the very last page. You can really feel what the characters are feeling. This book is a real 10!!!

Summary: Great, everyone must read!
Review: The way Steel tells of the tragic fate of the Titanic is excellent. I love the way she intermigles fictional characters the Winfields in with actual hictorical events!!!

Summary: Mind Candy Only
Review: This book is like candy for the mind...Steele's followers will love it no doubt - those looking for any real substance will hate it but it does serve its purpose. The Titanic details are clearly unresearched and incorrect. Although this is a piece of fiction I find it disgraceful for an "author" to take creative license with the history of such a tragedy. Do your homework next time Danielle.

Summary: Worst Danielle Steel ever!
Review: This book was a huge disapointment. I kept looking at the cover to because I couldn't believe Danielle Steel actually wrote this. I still think someone might have slipped a book written by a twelve year old between the covers. I literally had to force myself to finish it with the hope that it would get better. It never did. Dull, boring, dull. Go someplace else it you want entertainment. You won't find it here.

Review: This book was EXCELLENT!!! except the part, when Alexis runs away with that older guy, I just wanted to jump into the book and slap her!

Summary: Poor excuse for a book using the Titanic fame to sell it
Review: This book was so poorly written I hardly know where to begin. It was all I could do to force myself to finish it. The titanic information was sketchy at best (as well as inaccurate). It was so obviously stamped throughout the first few chapters of the book as if to remind the reader that it was set on the Titanic....all right already we remember that. The characters were one dimensional and completely unrealistic. They were hardly even likable so that it was hard to care what happened to them. In fact the writing was so bad that by half way through the book I wished that they had all gone down with the ship and spared me the last 300 pages. Last but not least the message sent by the book is that morals and values about running away with scumbuckets and sleeping with married men who make it clear that it is just a one night stand is not wrong....if you have had enough tragedy in your life to justify behaving so shabbily. Two thumbs down....I'd give more but I only have two....don't waste your time reading this DRIVEL. I'm sorry I did

Summary: This book is one of Steel's best.
Review: This book will leave you hoping for Danielle to write millions of books just on this subject and the Titantic. It tells the heart-wrenching story of two lovers and the dreadful tragedy that occurs during the story. It left me amazed and stunned with the major facts and happenings that occured on the sinking of the Titantic.

Summary: Sad Excuse for a Book ....About the Titanic or Not
Review: This is probably the worst book I have ever read. I have read other Danielle Steele novels, so the choice for that was pretty hard but this is by far her worst. It is written mainly on a 4th/5th grade reading level. The characters were either so cardboard that you couldn't care less about them of dispicable creeps - including Miss Longsuffering herself. My advice to someone considering reading this one is - don't bother.

Rating:
Summary: Boring, Prolific, Dry Book
Review: This is the boringest, longest-winded, dryest book. I did not enjoy it at all. I have not enjoyed any DS books that I have read so far, but this one is definitely the worst. This boring book should have been on 1/4 as many pages instead of it being dragged out on so many pages. The point could have been gotten across on 1/4 the amount of pages. I do not recommend wasting your time on this boring book.

Summary: Not what I expected, but good
Review: This is the first Danielle Steel book I read. I can't say that it was the best, but it was good. I've always found the Titanic story rather interesting, which is probably why I checked it out of the library. One thing I really enjoyed about this book more than the movie (the one with Leo and Kate) was that it emphasized what happened after the disaster, and how the people who survived had to cope. Imagine seeing the ship go down, losing loved ones, and then having to face news reporters when you returned to New York. It was just a side of the story I never thought about until I read this book. I do agree with some of the other readers that Edwina's mother should not have been portrayed as a heroine for going down with her husband. When you bring children into this world, it is your responsibility to do whatever it takes to be there for them, and to raise them. I saw her act as child abandonment, not heroism. That's probably why I couldn't give the book five stars. Being a mother myself, I had a little trouble getting past it. Other than that though, it was an enjoyable read.
