review 1: Honestly, this doesn't deserve three stars but it fulfilled its requirement of being a comfortable plane read for me, so I won't complain.I picked this up to entertain myself on a four and a half hour plane journey with no in-flight movie screen. Four and a half hours later, I was done and left rather unaffected by the novel.It's a typical Danielle Steel book, brimming with hope and clean-hearted characters who love everyone and make the best of everything life throws their way, even if that means spending your life in a wheelchair. It helps that the principal protagonists are fabulously rich (they travel by chartered jet, wear Chanel gloves and shop at Harrods), and it also helps that they meet lovely people at the opportune times and but obviously, fall madly in love and... more live happily ever after.That's that then.
review 2: I listened to this book on CD during my drive to work. I gave it one star because I thought the plot was interesting but if I were to really rank the book, it would get zero stars.Danielle Steel must have been given a minimum word count to meet because the number of times she repeated the same words, same thought, same description was ridiculous. She would repeat them in the same paragraphs but then also repeat the same words later in the book. Ugh! I really felt that a two year old could have understood this book, as it was written on that level.The man that recorded the book read with a tone of voice that made me feel like he was reading to a really stupid audience. And his 'female' voices were embarrassing. The story line was tragically perfect. Perfect girl has a terrible accident. Perfect, rich dad is there to spend gazillions of dollars to make life right. And the 6 main characters magically fall in perfect love. Danielle Steel, this may be 'it' for us. less
