Summary: Johnny Angel by Danielle Steel
Comment: Johnny Angel is a touching story about a young man's unexpected death. Johnny Peterson was valedictorian of his class, star athlete of both the track and football teams, had a beautiful girlfriend, and was getting ready to graduate highschool. Then on prom night he was hit by a drunk driver suddenly ending his life and causing grief and pain amongst his friends and family. Johnny's mother was hospitalized due to an ulcer caused by stress from Johnny's death. Just when his mother didn't know how she was going to live without him he appeared to her just like he was when he was alive. The miracle didn't end there he stayed with the family on earth only visable to his mother and little brother Bobby. From then on he would change all their lives for the better.
I felt that it has a touching story that woke the reader up to the harsh realities of drunk driving. Many of the family tradgies in this book could've beeen avoided by not consuming alcohol and driving. I also thought this was a good book to read if you had recently or ever lost a loved one. From the story you get the understanding that those who have passed on are always with you in your heart and our watching over you. At times the book can be a real tear jerker so be prepared with a box of tissues if your one of those emotional types.
I liked the story, but I thought there were some things that could've been better. On a postive note the ending had a little twist to it that took away from the predictability of it. Some parts in it I found very predictable, somewhat like a Disney movie. I also liked the whole purpose of the story and how it touched you. What I didn't care for was that it was not challenging at all to read and in some parts I think she could've used a more descriptive style. She used many passive verbs.
Overall it had a nice plot that was easy to follow and that the reader could easily relate to. I would only recommend this book to those who would find interest in it. It is a good choice to read if you like LifeTime movies or if you become absorbed in emotional novels.

Summary: An Angel in the house
Comment: I have been a life time fan of Danielle Steel and have all of her books. However,her writing style has severely been defective in the last few books. She runs sentences together, grammar is incorrect, over-use of the word "and" and repeats herself over and over and over again---as another reviewer mentioned. It detracts from the story entirely too much. When you read as much as I do and love to read well-written stories, Ms. Steel's style is not enjoyable any longer.
However, having said this, the story is enjoyable. I skimmed this book to avoid all those deficiencies in her writing and was able to finish it in a couple of hours. Yes, I did shed tears in several places--didn't miss the story line in spite of the fast read. It's a different take on the "angel in the home" idea----never before have angels moved things around and made noise that everyone hears. But--it was somewhat comforting to read about the appearance of Johnny to his little brother as well as to his mother. I do think, however, that he could have also talked to Becky, the love of his life.
I'm not sure "angels" can manipulate lives as much as talked about here. But having lost a child myself (he was 4) I know the pain of the loss, the comfort knowing he's in a good place and will be in my heart forever------I do "see" him in dreams but never during my awake times. My child angel does "speak" to me in eerie ways------songs that suddenly play on the radio----"our special" ones,fate-related events. But Ms.Steel went over the edge in some of her story lines. But that's fiction------and ok.
Is Danielle Steel truly writing these books? What happened to an editor to check for mistakes, grammer and run-on sentences? Or is someone else-----perhaps a middle school child----doing the writing?? It just isn't the quality that we came to love and expect from her.
Quick read, sad but comforting story----poor writing style.But great for the beach reading.

Summary: This book was a very good book
Comment: I really liked this book because it was different from the normal Danielle Steel books that she rights. I've never read a book like this and i thought that it was very interesting. The way that everything ended was very good, I don't like it when books end sad so this book was a very good book to me. It kept me reading and up at night, and I didn't even fall asleep! This book over all gets a 4/5 stars.
