Legacy (Abridged) Audiobook

" The only reason I'm giving it a 2 is because the genealogy part of the book was the only thing worth reading! Otherwise, I was banging my head trying to finish it! "

" This is the first Danielle Steel novel I've read. I thought it was very well organized and written, as well as heartwarming. "

" Decent book. The best part of the book was in the Indian camps, and tracking Wachiwi's life, and her trip on the boat to France. And it should have been caught in the editing that Indians did not drink alcohol in their camps. Duh. "

" One of her best books yet. I have read almost all of her books. "

" Starts very slowly but gets much better! "

" I enjoyed this book much more than her last, Family Ties. Danielle Steel's historical fiction novels seem to be much more interesting, although very predictable, than her regular fiction. Legacy intertwines the story of Brigette, a modern woman who has lost her longtime boyfriend and job in the same week, with that of her ancestor Wachiwi, a Sioux Indian. Brigitte decides to assist her mother with researching her family history firsthand in Utah and eventually France. Alternating sections fill in the story of Wachiwi, who was kidnapped from her tribe, escaped and traveled to France with the younger brother of a Marquise. Wachiwi's story is much more interesting as Brigitte is a little irritating in her misery. A quick but entertaining read. "

" I give this a 3.75. This was easy, fun, fast and fluff read. I loved the story line. I just wish that more time had been spent on Wachiwi. I liked that the author was honest about how the mormons use genealogy and share the work with whom ever is interested. "

" Just loved this book-loved how the two stories went on at the same time but yet it wasn't confusing. Great characters and great ending. Loved her taking a chance and getting out of her comfort zone! "

" I usually don't read Danielle Steel so.... This one happened to be about a woman searching for her families history. I was sucked into it and couldn't put it down! "

" This book started out slow for me, but then improved towards the middle. It is a typical Danielle Steel book, who I always find to be entertaining. "

" Lame, long, weak that and that completely describes the characters and the novel. 2 of 10 stars "

" One of her better books(if you want history included) I love the France historical reference "

" I enjoyed the story of Wachiwi very much, but Brigitte's story was just too generic for me. I wish Ms. Steel had written the novel only about Wachiwi and none of the modern day nonsense. "

" Sometimes a girl just needs a quick book with a happy ending. "

" Great book, one of my favorites "

" Lovely read... Wawichi is a strong character... "

" Pretty good. Enjoyed from my Mom and avid fan. "

" Not her best - but kind of a guilty pleasure to read one of hers once in a while! "

" As usual I love Danielle Steels's books and this one was right up there "

" Very good book - I really enjoyed reading it! "

" Its interesting to see an opinion placed in a book regarding Mormons and geneaology. Overall a good book. "

" A pleasant quick read. You have to take many leaps of faith, though, to get through it. "

" This was a good book! Very enjoyable! "

" I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this book. I normally shy away from Danielle Steel but liked what the story was about and took it for a spin. "

" Typical Danielle Steel, which is always a fast read and pretty much the same book I've read by her 50 times. It's junk food, but I like it. "

" Pleasantly surprised. Probably one of my favorite of Steel's novels. "

" These Started ''Legacy'' I'll zippppppppppppppppp tell you when I'm finished;) though hardly get time to read due to Ramadan it's alright:)) "

" I never thought I would read one of her books--a friend recommended it to me. The geneaology stuff was intriguing, but I'm not a fan of her writing. WAY too repetitive, and the characters were skanky. "

" Decent book. The best part of the book was in the Indian camps, and tracking Wachiwi's life, and her trip on the boat to France. And it should have been caught in the editing that Indians did not drink alcohol in their camps. Duh. "

" Really loved this story and was sorry the end came so quickly. Could of used another 100 pages or so.It turns out to be a family history search and what a find. "

" This was a good book! Very enjoyable! "

" A novel about a woman catching the genealogy bug from her mother after she lost both her job and your boyfriend of 6 years in 1 week. Nice mentions of the Mormons and their resources for doing genealogy!! "

" Was a good book but took a little to get into. "

" I liked it. I'm glad that I read for entertainment. It wasn't deep and quite predictable, but it was ok. It was my first Danielle Steel and I know this is not the book that made her Danielle Steel. What was? "

" I haven't read a Danielle Steele book in a while....this one is interesting enough, but still a love story. "

" This book started out slow for me, but then improved towards the middle. It is a typical Danielle Steel book, who I always find to be entertaining. "

" Another good book by one of my favourite authors. "

" I really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed the history and genealogy in it. I found it to be very compelling. A great read. "

" I have been a reader of Danielle Steele's books for years although never consistent, always just purchased one if it looked interesting. A few weeks ago, I happened to pick up the Legacy, and it is by far the best of all Danielle Steele's books. "

" Danielle Steel started off like she usually does, talking in circles. As in she takes about 10 pages to tell you the same thing over and over. I almost didn't get past that, but I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a pretty good book. "
