Rating:  Summary: You'll hate her husband! Review: Not Steel's best works, but a poignant story. What kept me reading with enthusiasm was hating the husband & wanting to see him get what he deserved! I think the story meant well, but it just didn't seem to mesh for me. If you're looking for something good by Steel, I'd recommend Message from Nam, No Greater Love, Safe Harbour or The Long Road Home- They're all about over-coming & surviving.
Rating:  Summary: Interesting and Informative Review: This was a good book about abuse to women, written by Danielle Steel. She not only tells a story of a woman (Madeline Hunter) who went from one physically abusive relationship, but into another which was more subtle... that of verbal and emotional abuse.The great thing about this story is that it was not only a good fiction, but it also portrayed the facts and feeling of abusive relationships. I found myself not only intrigued about the topic, but I also learned. I actually FELT the frustration that so many friends of loved ones of abuse people must feel. In doing so, DS has portrayed that she masterfully wrote a story that was not only entertaining, but also informative. It was a little on the long side, but I think that was intentional to show just how difficult it is for an abused person to leave and how long the process for a victim to leave really is. Journey was a wonderful, entertaining, and entirely informative story.
Rating:  Summary: An enjoyable read for Danielle Steel fans Review: This wasn't one of my favorite Steel books, and I've read them all. But as a true fan of her work, I still found it worth reading. You either like Danielle Steel's books or you don't, and if you do, go ahead and read Journey, it's worth your time.
Rating:  Summary: I loved Journey... Review: Though many did not like her last release of 2000, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Journey tells of Maddy and Jack, how they're the one of D.C.'s most beloved couples, and their secrets. Jack abuses Maddy. Not physically, but mentally, and the hurt is just the same. Maddy then meets Bill at a meeting for violence against women. Then many things happen. I know that many thinks that Steel is becoming monotonous, but I enjoy her works and Journey is one of my favorites.
