DESCRIPTION:
Just another tedious story about an over achieving woman Very early on, in my reading of this book, I asked myself why, why am I bothering to read another Danielle Steel book. My answer is I guess I keep hoping, hoping that she will write like she did in books like "Message from Nam", "Zoya" and "Thurston House". Or perhaps my taste in books has evolved and grown up.I found this book tedious, especially in the beginning. It took approximately the first 67 pages, to lay down the foundation, background, thoughts and motivation before we. Seriously? I have read every one of DS books. I preorder them when I know they are coming out and I have noticed that the last several books have been down right disappointing and just plain ole' bad.The constant repetitiveness of her story is ridiculous.While I understand that she has a contract with her publishers and has to produce "X" amount of books a year. slow it down and write how you are capable of writing.For newbies just starting out reading DS, try reading Jewels or Long Road H. Betti Jones said First Sight. It is boring and not well written, it is like she keeps repeating the same description of events to fill the pages. I have readmany of her books and have enjoyed most of them, this one is not a favorite!!!
