Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Danielle Steel

“Steel is one of the best!”—Los Angeles Times

“Few modern writers convey the pathos of family and material life with such heartfelt empathy.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Steel pulls out all the emotional stops. . . . She delivers!”—Publishers Weekly

“What counts for the reader is the ring of authenticity.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Loved the story, very captivating. Also, loved that the narrator used different accents.

There wasn't really anything that I didn't like. The different accents just added to the interest.

Very disappointed

I’m very disappointed in the storyline and the content. The last few stories I’ve read a child has died. I could use less small children being stillborn or die as toddlers. It’s starting to be more like Disney. Somebody has to die in the story or it isn’t any good. I disagree. I am an advert, Danielle Steele book reader. I saw so many similarities in this book to others I have read that I didn’t feel it was new content. This one book will not discourage me from continuing to be a Daniellle Steele fan.

So disappointed!

First of all, I need to start paying attention to the length of these books. That’s on me, but it still made me angry. The characters were never developed. The storyline was never developed. It just seemed like it was the first four chapters of a novel and yet that was supposed to be the end and believe me I love Daniel Steele. I’m always waiting for her next book to come out so it pains me to say this.
