Great Book

I teletype enjoyed listening to this book. this one will stay in my collection for me to listen to again. Loved the story line, sometimes we just have to let go and let the chips fall where they may. There is nothing like family.

Danielle Steele fan

Okay, so I’m a sucker for a Danielle Steele book I admit it. There isn’t one story that I couldn’t get into. She’s my escape from reality. This one was heartwarming and full of love.

Decent listen

This was a decent listen but I agree with other reviewers, the author repeated the same things over and over. I listen in my car only and sometimes when I would start my car up and start listening I would question if I accidently rewound the book but I didn't, she just repeats alot. All and all I enjoyed the book pretty much but it did get a little tedious with the repeating!

Family Ties

Any additional comments?

Just over ten hours of listening, Family Ties is read by Susan Ericksen.

Danielle Steel is one of the most prolific writers in America today. As a reader, you either love her or hate her, there really is no in-between, and she has legions of fans. If you are ever in the mood for sweet romance, meaning a teenaged girl can read the book, pick up a Danielle Steel novel. It’s easy to become absorbed, the stories are not gray-matter growth material; they aren’t intended to be. Danielle Steel is a die-hard romantic, and directs her talents to that end, pretty much exclusively.

Most stories involve a strong female lead, as does Family Ties. There are ome unique, and sometimes quirky, characters and the trials and tribulations of each traverse the pages. A typical, Danielle Steelesque, satisfying conclusion.

Ok

Not my favorite, but still ok
Didn’t care for the narrative. But not bad.
A little draw out.

Family Ties

An interesting story with a predictable family twist. Easy reading. Not too much thrill

As usual great story on family interactions. Daniele Steele does not disappoint. Story telling is always the best when she writes.
