Product Description
Review
Here's number 55 from Steel, a pleasant read focusing on the extraordinary 30-year friendship between three couples: Diana and Eric, Pascale and John, Robert and Anne. Spending New Year's Eve together, they discuss plans to holiday in St Tropez during August. A villa is rented, and as they all look forward to the summer break, tragedy strikes only two weeks into the New Year, when Anne suffers a fatal heart attack. Distraught, Robert tries to pull out of the holiday, but his friends convince him that he should still go. In time, Robert meets Gwen, a younger woman - who happens to be a Hollywood actress, and asks her to join him at the villa, to his friends' dismay. What ensues during the holiday makes for a moving novel about loyalty, friendship and love.

I decided to purchase this book using a free voucher as I'd read books by the same author a few years ago and generally found them well written and easy to read. I'm very glad that I didn't waste any money on this book - it was one of the worst books I've read in a long time. Yes, I did finish it, but only to see what happened in the end! Danielle Steele touches on a subject that either has been, or will become, an issue for many of us - that of the loss of one of a close-knit group of friends, their reaction to the death and, eventually, her "replacement". Unfortunately I found the grammar rather poor; indeed I found myself re-reading passages on a number of occasions as they failed to make sense the first time through. The author keeps repeating herself unnecessarily, too. From a publishing point of view, the book is printed over almost 300 pages. However, the font is so large that I'm sure production costs could have been minimised if, say, it had been kept to 200 pages. Not up to her usual standard.

this book has you hooked from the beginning with believable charactors. I loved the way it showed all sides of the situations that arose during the story with a pleasing ending for all. The friends charactors were great making them your friends as well. My favourite charactor was the female cleaner so vividly descripted and had me laughing as i visualised her outfits. Like her other books she has you reaching for the hankies at one point and laughing at another. A book with lots of twists and I can't wait for her next one.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sunset in St.Tropez is not too bad but not one of her best. When Robert looses his wife it was very sad, but halfway through the story when they go on holiday it starts to get predictable. It is a light read but not as exciting and grabbing as some of her novels.

Could take it or leave it.
This book was hard to get into and did not have me hooked from the word go, but I persevered and by the middle had managed to get into the story.

I am a big fan of
Danielle Steel. This book is not one of her best. It started out strong and just sort of died in the middle. The second half of the book was very flat. Read more
