dont know about you guys, but i've come to dislike her recent books almost as much as i liked her older ones. its like shes loosing her edge and her books are drab to the point of boring. the last of her book i read was "The miracle" and it was excruciatingly boring. infact,  i dont think i'll ever read any of her books again. anybody with contrary opinions?

Danielle Steel it is.I have seen some of her books but never read it.I saw a movie based on one of her books and thats about it.**I do not find her stories captivating.**

i used to be a fan of her books before. older books like "family album" "Zoya" and "message from nam" are masterpieces. but nowadays, i dont know what the hell she's writing; boring characters, drab and mediocre storylines at the end of the book, you'll blame yourself for wasting valuable time on all that rubbish. i doubt if i'll ever read any of her books again.

I also used to be a fan,way back in my early teens, I read Zoya when i was 14,I kept on crying and crying for days. I quicky outgrew her books anyways

zoya really moved me, but not to tears. maybe i also outgrew her books, she was one of my favourites in secondary school. now its dean koontz, sandra brown, sidney sheldon and other compelling writers.

Ha ha,your heart must be hard, The way she lost everything shook me,but as you said I'm sooo over her books,finished all Sheldon and Sandra Brown years ago. I'm on Ken Follet at the moment,he's good,check his books out.

i'm not much of a sci fi fan.

I think she's just someone who's looking to pass her sadness on.

true talk, her writing even got more sour after she lost her son. i never really liked her books, too much bitterness. so i cant really say she got worse cos she was never that good.

if you're looking for compelling female writers, check out the likes of mary higgins clark, judith mcnauth, sandra brown et al. danielle steel my yansh

Ken Follet is sooooo not Sci Fi, if you like Sandra Brown & Sheldon that's your next step. . . Trust me.

i'll check out his books, he better not be better than koontz!.

Was never into her books

Danielle Steele: President of the Depressed Nation

I've read a book of hers. 'The long road home' and i liked it...

but i prefer African literature anyday.

The most recent of her work that I have read is Big Girl... At some point I got bored which never happens with danielle steel
but 'Sisters'(is recent and is really nice), 'Daddy'(in case you've not read it ), 'impossible' 'five days in paris' and 'malice(at a point I had to cry while reading this )' are better...

I love danelle steel. All her books do not have to be the same. Her storylines are just different.

I still cry when i remember zoya. omg dt book was something else. i cried and cried while reading it. i was 17years then
