Book Reviews of The Promise
Book Review: Get a editor.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the first book I purchased for my new Kindle reader. I thought the device was defective due to the vast amount of misspelled words. Then I read some Amazon reviews. It appears nobody has bothered to clean up this book since the original publication over 20 years ago. Amazon has a nice reader, but should not put out trash like this. RichardBook Review: Good But not Great and Get rid of the FOUL language!
Summary: 3 Stars
The premise of the story is profound. Unfortunately, the execution is shallow. In typical Steel style the ending was wrapped up abruptly in a two page chapter that left this reader dissatisfied. And can't Miss Steel write about normal people...people who aren't rich.....people who aren't born with a silver spoon in their mouth?? Can't she write without using dirty and obscene language?? All that aside, Steel could create masterpieces but, alas, this is not one of them. It's o.k. but not great. But then, reading Steel is a guilty pleasure and one doesn't need to look for great literature. Great beach reading.Book Review: I Am Still Reading, But

Why in the world are there so many grammatical and spelling errors in this book? Is the real copy this horrible or is it just the Kindle version? The story seems okay but it is getting ridiculous when "right" is spelled "rigjht". It makes the author look dumb. I read The Cottage too and it was not grammatically correct. Punctuation was missing, misspelled words, words used in the wrong context, and run on sentences. I love the story lines so far but this is the last Danielle Steele novel I will buy until they fix the issues. Very disappointing since I paid for these books.
**Edit** 9/21/2010 I just finished this book amd I have to say that it was easily one of the best stories I have read. So romantic. The characters were so likeable or able to be hated. I would have loved to have given this book a 5 but the typo's were too much.
Book Review: I THOUGHT I didn't like to read until I read this book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book that made me realize that reading is a great escape. I read it in the late 70's or early 80's and I've never forgotten it. I'm buying it now for my daughter who also "thinks" she doesn't like to read.THIS is a must read for all you romantics.
Book Review: I guess if you like this type of very predictable novel...

Gee! I haven't read a Danelle Steele novel since Family Album (I think that was in 1985). I loved that book...perhaps I have "grown" since then. This book is for you if you prefer Cool Whip to Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey!
