Summary: Johnny Angel: Book Review
Review: Danielle Steele is one of the most popular authors in our society, with over 510 million copies of her novels sold. Johnny Angel is her fifty-eighth best selling novel. Delacorte Press, Random House Inc. published the book, which is in New York.
Johnny Angel is a work of fiction; it captured my soul from the beginning. It is a sad, but heartwarming story. The characters were portrayed in a very realistic environment with life like scenarios.
When Alcoholism is involved it is always a negative factor in any situation. The story worked through this major problem with strength and hope in a positive way. Danielle Steele's style of writing kept me full of emotion and desire to read, not wanting to put the book down untill I was totally finished. It made me laugh and it made me cry. It filled me with hope of happiness and love everlasting. Johnny Angel is about good times and bad times, about love and death, but in the end it lets you know that there is hope. With a little prayer, and dedication to your loved ones we can work through almost anything. Johnny Angel showed me that family and friends are very important in our lives.
This is a story that will pick your spirit up and make you glad that you read it, a book for the heart.

Summary: Johnny Angel by Danielle Steel
Review: Johnny Angel is a touching story about a young man's unexpected death. Johnny Peterson was valedictorian of his class, star athlete of both the track and football teams, had a beautiful girlfriend, and was getting ready to graduate highschool. Then on prom night he was hit by a drunk driver suddenly ending his life and causing grief and pain amongst his friends and family. Johnny's mother was hospitalized due to an ulcer caused by stress from Johnny's death. Just when his mother didn't know how she was going to live without him he appeared to her just like he was when he was alive. The miracle didn't end there he stayed with the family on earth only visable to his mother and little brother Bobby. From then on he would change all their lives for the better.
I felt that it has a touching story that woke the reader up to the harsh realities of drunk driving. Many of the family tradgies in this book could've beeen avoided by not consuming alcohol and driving. I also thought this was a good book to read if you had recently or ever lost a loved one. From the story you get the understanding that those who have passed on are always with you in your heart and our watching over you. At times the book can be a real tear jerker so be prepared with a box of tissues if your one of those emotional types.
I liked the story, but I thought there were some things that could've been better. On a postive note the ending had a little twist to it that took away from the predictability of it. Some parts in it I found very predictable, somewhat like a Disney movie. I also liked the whole purpose of the story and how it touched you. What I didn't care for was that it was not challenging at all to read and in some parts I think she could've used a more descriptive style. She used many passive verbs.
Overall it had a nice plot that was easy to follow and that the reader could easily relate to. I would only recommend this book to those who would find interest in it. It is a good choice to read if you like LifeTime movies or if you become absorbed in emotional novels.

Summary: What I Think Of Johnny Angel......
Review: What I think of the book, Johnny Angel, is that is a great book because even though it wasn't a realistic book I still loved it. In this book you can celebrate life, death, a little boy speaking, a family's love for someone loss, and so much more. The book is happy at times and sad at times, and sometimes it will make you want to laugh or just cry your eyes out. This was the first Danielle Steel book that I have ever read, but after reading it I would have to say that I will read more books that she has written. I would say it deals with the problems that any family suffering a loss would go through; a mother and father dealing with a loss of a son, brothers and sisters dealing with a of a loss of a sibling, and a girlfriend or boyfriend going through the loss of a significant other. Personally I think it is a great book to read if you're dealing with a loss of your own. Since I read this book while I was going through a loss of my own I think it helped relate to the book a little bit more and also helped me get through my loss.
In this story the beloved, athletic, and smart Johnny Peterson gets into a car on with his girlfriend, Becky; and in an effort to save everyone else in the car he swerves so he is the only one hit. Johnny is the only one killed. His mother and Becky are devastated when they find out, his father becomes a drunk, his mute brother gets worse, and his sister is fighting for even more attention. Alice Peterson, his mother, had gotten sick from starving herself and had to go into the hospital where all of a sudden she starts to see and speak with an angel, its Johnny. He helps her get back on track in life, so she can help him help the family. Then he appears to his mute brother, Bobby, and helps him be comfortable around people and also talk. Johnny helps his father, Jim, stop drinking and with his job; and helps his sister, Charlotte get the attention of her parents, mainly her father. She helps Becky move on from him and find someone else for her to love. But, most of all he lets the people who cared for him the most forget about him. By: Hannah D.

Review: I read this one within a day. It had me in floods of tears and made me aware how important it is to treasure each moment I have with my children. This family endures such tragedy and I felt like I was right there as a mother in the story dealing with the feelings as the character did. I surely recommend this one to all mothers.

Summary: Johnny Angel
Review: The idea of losing someone unexpectedly and tragically is scary, REAL scary. The idea of that person being able to come back to "tie up loose ends" is wonderful isn't it? This book is about that very idea and how Johnny Angel came back to his family after his tragic death to right all that was wrong in his family before he died. The story itself was heartbreaking and touching, but the writing was so so. The book was short and very repititious. I expected more from such a well known author.

Summary: Johnny Angel
Review: Johnny Angel was a Wonderful book! I laughed, cried, got angry and all of the above. It is a short book but great! I do belive in Angels but as far as them coming back and talking to us no. I do believe they come back and help us out when we need it though.

Summary: There Are Angels All Around Us
Review: Whether or not we see any angels, who can say that they aren't there? In this Danielle Steel novel, Johnny returns to earth to guide his mother through tribulations as only an angel could. That she actually sees her son rather than just feeling his presence is a unique and interesting touch and very nicely handled throughout the book. Johnny's younger brother is also allowed to share the secret of Johnny's appearances, and this adds even more humorous incidents and heart-warming events to the story. In this story of a mission to be fulfilled, one can believe that angels really are all around us, even if we choose not to. It's a delightful, thought-provoking story and one not to be missed.
