First Sight by Danielle Steel

I was a fan of Danielle Steel's novels, about 20 years ago.

 

A good friend of mine at the time, got me "hooked" on her books and I read more than 20 of them during the next few years. But for reasons unknown, I gradually stopped reading her new releases and moved on to other authors.

I noted the book cover for First Sight by Danielle Steel a novel published this past summer, while I was doing a recent browse at the Kindle store and thought I'd give this author another try.

 

I'm a sucker for great book covers (aren't we all) and this one certainly is. 

 

And I was curious to see if I would enjoy one of this author's more recent books, as much as I had her earlier novels.

So, I got a copy from our local library and settled in for what I hoped would be a satisfying escape from the dreary grey afternoon that we had that day.

 

Well, as they say: you can't always tell a book by it's cover.

 

And in this case, it was all downhill after turning that first page.

Wow, what's happened to Danielle Steel's writing?
 

I got as far as Chapter 2 and that was it for me.

I remember her books from years ago as: easy, entertaining stories with believable characters, often exotic settings and travel. And with dialogue and narration that flowed smoothly.

 

This story was, in a word:

 

ANNOYING!

Oh (spare me!!!) the details, repeated over and over and over....

Yes, I got it (the first time):

 

-the protaganist: Timmie is a good but not flashy dresser.

 

-yes, Timmie is a good employer and her staff love her.

 

And yes...

 

- Timmie has had a series of bad relationships with toy-boys hanging on to her coattails for whatever they can get.

 

And stop talking incessantly about wearing a real fur jacket and carrying an alligator handbag Ms. Steel. It's no longer considered to be in good taste or chic and by a lot of people, to be wearing animals; haven't you heard?

Boring, pretentious and just plain bad.

Now, I HAVE read my last Danielle Steel novel, that I am sure of.

 

And yes, I'm so glad it was a copy from the library. 

 

Overall rating for this book: BAD. 0 out of 5
