5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Dec 30 2003

By	Theresa W (mi, usa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Going Home (Paperback)

I loved this story. I thought that she had excellent writing- starting with her first novel, Going Home. I just absolutely loved the story & the characters. Other earlier works of hers I enjoyed were: Season of Passion, The Promise, Passions Promise, Once in a Lifetime, Loving & Now & Forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story, Aug 30 2002

By	"wildwoodldy" (Village Mills, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Going Home (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved the book very much. I have been reading Steel's books that she has written lately(1999-2002). I had been told that her earlier books were so much better so I decided to read one of the them. The story was hard to read sometimes because I became exasperated with Gillian letting a man treat her so badly. I kept waiting for her to turn on him and give him what he deserved. But, she hung in there in spite of his treatment towards her and she was happy. The ending was sad but moving.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre at best., Aug 20 2002

By	R. Graff (South Windsor, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Going Home (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read many Danielle Steel books, and thought that this book would be just as good as some that came after it. While I wish I could say this was a great first novel, it wasn't. The story is so boring that after a while you can't even pay attention to what goes on. You don't feel that you know the characters (protagonist especially) as well as you know the characters in the other books. Also, the slangs and dialogue are so outdated that it's distracting. Read other Danielle Steel books, but not this one.

It's hard to believe that Danielle Steel wrote this novel, but I guess first novels can be that way. Read more
