Reviews

Praise for Danielle Steel

“Steel is one of the best!”—Los Angeles Times

“Few modern writers convey the pathos of family and material life with such heartfelt empathy.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Steel pulls out all the emotional stops. . . . She delivers!”—Publishers Weekly

“What counts for the reader is the ring of authenticity.”—San Francisco Chronicle

Even the most successful authors occasionally hit a bump in the road. In what appears to be a quest for innovation, Steel (The Ghost, LJ 8/97) has struck a rather large and insurmountable roadblock in this ludicrous tale of a love triangle between a newly divorced mom, a shy, serious businessman, and his wild but tacky clone. If the story sounds silly and unbelievableÄit is. The clone wears satin and rhinestones, guzzles bourbon, and performs acrobatic flips during lovemaking. And the reader is supposed to believe that our heroine is actually torn between the two "men." Even more confusing is the description of the clone as "tempered by bionics," completely man-made, with wires in his neck and a removable head. Even if the reader buys this set-up, the characters are not well developed, and the romance doesn't really work. Steel fans will of course line up for this title, but don't expect repeat readers. Order the minimum to cover demand.ÄKathy Ingels Helmond, Indianapolis- Marion Cty. P.L., IN
