hotel vendome

It's was a love story like most of Danielle Steele books. I could see that in the middle of the story it was going to have a happy ending. You could figure out that the fathers love for his daugther would end up giving her the hotel, cause she was his whole life before he got married. I would suggest this as a summer reading novel by the beach. I have read more interesting books from Danielle Steele that could not put the book down. One book was malice and another wanderlust. Loved those books. Have all her novels.

Good Quick Read

Danielle Steel is one of my favorite authors. I have been a fan of hers and read many of her novels over the last 20 years. Suffice it to say, I am hooked. Many of my favorite books are written by her.

I recently finished her book, Friends Forever. Unfortunately, much of this current book did not engage me.

The story was about five friends who met in kindergarten and become immediate friends through their childhood, teen and college years. They dubbed themselves the Big 5, and became inseparable. The cast of characters included them, their parents, stepparents, and siblings.

What I did not enjoy about this book was the pacing. The book moved too fast, rapidly changing from scene to scene. It was quickly flipping back and forth through the characters through time as they advanced from kindergarten to college.

Much of the first half of the book was about the parents of the Big 5. This, in my opinion, made it very hard to get any true character development with many of the characters until the last 1/3 of the book. By this time, the story had quickly trimmed the cast down by moving rapidly through drug overdoses, suicide, and an accidental death, and funerals.

The overall message was about the risky lifeâs choices of this particular generation. The events in the story did affect the lives of the characters. Unfortunately, due to its fast pace, the reader did not have time to feel it. This book couldâve been so much more. And has a great story lineâWho didnât have the âBest Friendsâ in school.

I enjoyed the last third of the book when we finally were left with one main character and her struggles. The book slowed down enough to look inside a couple of the characterâs motives, feelings, and decisions that they faced.

As typically Danielle Steel novels go, it was an easy read. It had an ending that left you feeling good. Unfortunately, it did not capture my heart as some of her previous novels did.

Granny Dan.

Nice easy going book to read.. I enjoy all of her books.
