 Excellent April 24, 2007

Another fantastic novel by Danielle Steel.
Finally another lovely novel which is a relief after the last two Danielle Steel novels I reviewed.
This time her novel takes you on a family journey with four sisters, these sisters think the world of each other. A tragic accident changes their lives suddenly, and they have to learn to cope with everything that's happen. They all decide to change their lives so they can support one another.
I really don't want to say much more about the story as it would spoil it for you and I don't want to do that.
If you decide to buy this novel you won't be disappointed. The novel is an excellent read and very compulsive. :-)

I have read many Danielle Books but this one is the best. I would love to see it made it into a film.
Each one of these girls were great and you wanted sisters just like them
I would read this again.
 Excellent until a too sudden, too sugarcoated ending! July 24, 2007

In Danielle Steel's latest novel "Sisters", the story starts out with the usual trademark fairytale quality.
Four sisters with highly successful and interesting careers, are scattered around the world; New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Florence. Hardly your average bunch of ordinary lives.
But that's the beginning. The surface. The setting. Until tragedy strikes and man's vulnerability cuts through whatever glamourous lifestyles the sisters may seemingly enjoy.
Life is turned upside down. The reality is as unexpected, harsh and as far from a fairytale as can be. The best part of the book describes the developments straight forward, honest and with much warmth and insight.
That a happy ending awaits, is Danielle Steel's trademark. However, the way tragedy all too quickly literary turns into happiness is a bit too easy to give the story balance. The pieces of the puzzle fall into place so fast and conveniently for all the family members that the situation is hard to fathom even for the most soft-hearted.
Tragedies ARE overcome but usually it takes time and hardship to build up a new future.
This book could actually have been longer. A more natural development of the situation and not the lightening quick wrapping up of loose ends during the last fifty pages or so, would have given the story more credibility.
Happy solutions are nice, but the turning of events in "Sisters" is simply too sweet and sudden even for a fairytale.
I almost gave the book four stars, but those miraculous solutions broke the book's rhytme and was in too sharp contrast to the rest of the book which was five star quality. In fact, after the first appr. two thirds of the book I thought it one of Danielle Steel's best books ever.
All together an enjoyable read, somewhat lessonned by a too sugarcoated ending.
Chick Lit at Its Best April 3, 2008
Garden Goddess (Old Kilpatrick, Scotland)
Haven't previously read this author however, after going through the best seelers rapidly at the moment, I thought I'd give it a go. Thoroughly enjoyed the first three quarters of this book as easy-to-read escapism for the train journey to work. The last potion did spoil this somewhat and came across as though the author had gotten bored with it and just wanted to meet the publisher's deadline. Consequently, whilst reasonably entertaining, will not rush to read another Danielle Steele!
