An amazing read! It's an easy and enjoyable book to read...(paperback!)The opening chapter of this book was quite good. Then it switched to a third-person narrator and, while it held my interest for a while, it got so repetitive that it became boring. I would have liked it much better if it had been from the granddaughter's point of view throughout, as she discovered her grandmother's story through the translated letters. This was my first time reading a Danielle Steel book, and it may be the last.
Entertaining and (very) easy enough to start and finish it on a three hour plane journey. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anybody as I found it quite repeating. I did fall in love with the main character though and her life story, which this book was all about.
I guess we all know that Danielle Steel is not one of the best authors around, a lot of her books are very cheesy, not very original and predictable, but she also wrote a few nice ones. This is not one of my favorites, but it's a nice and easy read and I like ballerinas and a good love story. My actual rating is 3,5 stars.After Danina's death her grand-daughter discovers that her grand-mother was once a very talented young ballet dancer who fell in love with the much older and married Nicolaj
I have only read one Danielle Steel book before, and that was "Happy Birthday". I was mega impressed by it, so when my friend Sara gave me a copy of "Granny Dan" I was eager to read it. And although it wasn't as memorable or lasting to me as "Happy Birthday" was, I will admit I was entertained the entire book and read it in two sittings. It was a page turner, but I didn't find anything super unique about the story. I almost feel like there should have been half a book more of the story.We are
Danielle Steel cannot write. While she sometimes has good storylines, her superficial and hackneyed storytelling manner is more akin to an average person summarizing a book rather than an author actually writing one. Her ongoing popularity astounds me.
The introduction chapter was beautiful. I think the experience of failing to see an old person as anything but old, failing to see that spark of who they once were, is very common. I related to that narrator's experience and I was excited to learn about how Danina differed from Granny Dan. The first few chapters were beautiful too. Steel paints a beautiful image of Russia and of the ballet. Danina's family is charming. Young Danina is charming. I enjoyed spending time with these characters and
