2008-08-31 Not her best......

I read the book and couldn't help thinking 2 things. 1 - My class of 8 year olds could have done better, and 2 - If it had been writen by somone else and not Danielle Steel, I doubt it would have seen the light of day. It just wasn't that good. As the previous reviewer wrote, it was full of Danielle Steel cliches - the typical well to do family, beautiful, intelligent women who have been wronged by their ex husbands, etc etc.

It was almost as though her publisher had just rung her -
'Hey Danielle, how ya getting on with that novel you promised me for tomorrow?'
'Yeah, almost done, just checking the spelling now....'
'Great, see you tomorrow!'
Phone goes down.
'Bugger, better start writing...'

I love Danielle Steel so it really pains me to write this, but I was thoroughly disappointed. Nothing really happened. When I have finished a book, I want to feel something, I want to feel as though I was part of that story. Didn't get any feeling with this, apart from thinking 'Did I just waste the last 3 hours of my life reading this?' and very sadly, the answer was a resounding yes.
Come on Dani, you can do better than this!
