44 Charles Street (Abridged) Audiobook

" Had not read any of her books for along time. They seem to be all very predictable to me. "

" I can't believe this book was written by Danielle Steel. It was poorly written, redundant, repetitive, head hopped all the way through it and it didn't hold my interest. I had to struggle to finish it. The story had a good plot line, but the immature writing took away from the story. "

" If you don't have enough material to write a 319 page book then do it. She only had about enough of a story for 100 pages, then just repeated herself every third paragragh. Very disappointing. "

" I enjoyed this book, as I do most all of Danielle Steel books. This made me lol & bring a tear to my eye, which is a very good sign that it's a really good book or movie, for a woman anyway. "

" Easy read and interesting characters. "

" Fairly typical Danielle Steel. Easy read. "

" It's ok. I've never read any Danielle Steele and I have a feeling I won't anymore. The story was interesting, but as others have said, the writing is terrible. So many things were repeated over and over again that it's like she was trying to beat it into the reader's head that: Internet dating is bad, her mom was married a bunch of times and she didn't want to be like her, etc. There were times when a character would say something like "I don't think online dating is safe", which she had to follow up with another explanation of why that person said what they did. Master of the obvious, I guess. Unfortunately I felt like a child having everything explained to me over and over again. I like to think the author believes I'm smart enough to get it the first time. "

" I used to read Danielle Steel and now I know why I have stopped...poorly written and just plain dumb. Don't read this, you will regret it for wasting your time. "

" macaroni and cheese "

" Nothing really happened in this book, a bit of a waste. "

" Wonderfully put together. Story of love, laughter, and tears. Shows that family does not have to be blood. "

" A typical Danielle Steel book. Characters were run of the mill, and I thought the plot was fairly predictable. Don't hurry to read this one. "

" Was not crazy about this book. "

" Well, this was my first Danielle Steel book & it will probably be my last. Francesca breaks up with her live-in boyfriend. When he moves out, she is stuck with the mortgage, so takes in boarders to help with expenses. The story had potential, but the editing was poorly done. "

" This book bore me to tears. I like the plot but Ms Steel keep repeating the same sentence again and again. I used to love Ms Steel's writing but this one might be the last novel for me. "

" Danielle Steel has been one of my favorites since I was young. "

" I thought this was a Great Danielle Steele book! Easy fast read. "

" The characters were warm & loving, willing to help each neighbor out. The storyline was simple to follow and an enjoyable read, like almost all Danielle Steel's book. The ending was somewhat predictable. "

" I enjoyed this book as I do all the author's writings. "

" It was a nice story but very easy to figure out ahead of time a nice romance story.Her recent books can't compare to Zoya and The Ring her early books. "

" Typical Danielle Steele book. You can always predict the happy ending. "

" It was another good book by Danielle Steele. Enjoyed the adventures, the characters, and the peaceful ending. Recommended for the light and easy reader. "

" Oy. I read this to understand how Danielle Steele built her empire. I think I get it, and the future looks bleak. "

" This was okay, but I found the writing rather mundane (I could almost always finish a sentence they were so predictable) and the plot quite predictable. "

" typical Danielle Steel book. Enjoyable, mindless read where all works out in the end! "

" Yes, I really liked this appealing novel of a diverse group brought together by this house to form a family. Either Steel is getting better or I am getting more tolerant. Easy summer reading. "

" Another quick read by Danielle Steel. Her books always keep my interest and this is no difference. One of the characters gets involved with internet dating and you could see the outcome early on. The romance between characters is true Steel. "

" A nice light read book. Read it in just a few days. Wasn't too mushy like she can sometimes be. Enjoyed it. "

" I thought this was a Great Danielle Steele book! Easy fast read. "

" Quick easy read. Touches on some tough subjects. Very likeable characters. "

" Relly liked this book. Haven't read Danielle Steel in a while but it was entertaining "

" Good story, but in the first part of the book the author repeats herself alot. It seems like she is just filling pages. "

" I used to read a lot of Danielle Steel books years ago and I needed a light read after the last book I read, so I decided to give her new one a try. The story was nice, it was definitely a light read. It was very annoying though how often the author repeats herself from page to page. "

" Fairly typical Danielle Steel. Easy read. "

" Better than a lot of Danielle Steel's books, it is a very quick read but seems to be rushed at the end. Also it gets annoying when the author uses dated words and expressions that show her age. "

" Typical, wouldn't read again. A book where you definately don't have to think. "

" I enjoyed this book as I do all the author's writings. "

" typical Danielle Steele--"brain candy" easy on the brain and not much substance!! okay for a hot summer afternoon but not much else..... "
