1.0 out of 5 stars not up to par, Sep 28 2006

This review is from: Mixed Blessings (Hardcover)

I usually find Danielle Steel's books to be light and enjoyable but I found it hard to follow along with this one. Your reading about one couple and all of a sudden mid page she switches to another couple with no warning and you don't realize it until you've gone a couple of paragraphs. In my opinion, not her best novel.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little too repetitive, Jan 24 2004

This review is from: Mixed Blessings (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was okay, but I thought Danielle Steel could do better. All three stories were too repetitive. They all had to do with people having babies and people being sterile. I also think that the story of Diana and Andy was too far fetched because she got pregnant even though she was presumably sterile and had a one in ten thousand chance of getting pregnant. I think D.S. fans should consider reading it though, because everyone has their own opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Emotions, Jan 10 2004

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mixed Blessings (Mass Market Paperback)

"Mixed Blessings" follows couples who marry and face the question of whether they want to have children or not and how they overcome their infertility.

I really began to resent, and almost hate, Barbi. I thought that maybe Charlie hadn't really thought about the marriage completely before he married her, or perhaps he was hoping that she would settle down and change her mind.

However, I questioned why Pilar would want to have a child with Brad, considering that he is already 60. By the time the child graduates from high school, he would be pushing 80.

I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this book, considering 1 in 5 people will have difficulty conceiving. And I think that people can also relate to the characters on the basis of "What do I really want in life?"

I could not put this book down. I loved it. I loved how she mixed the characters up in this book, but i will have to say, that a lot of the book was pretty predictable. Read more
