It鈥檚 been a while since I read a Danielle steel book and ngl, I kinda forgot the way she loves adding drama to all of her novels, but Im not complaining at all since it can sometimes be VERY entertaining like in this one.

All the angst was soooo heart wrenching. The plot itself was nice as well, but idk, I鈥檓 not really a fan of the couples written by Steel, not sure why, I just hate her male characters for some reason. Glad I enjoyed it enough!

My God, this was awful. I will never read another DS book in my life. She repeats everything like 50 times!! This book would have been 10 pages if she just wrote the damn story. Don't waste your time.

I normally find myself sticking up for DS but not this time. She must have been having a bad year when she sat down to do this one, too much repetition, a rather self indulged character that was simply annoying, too long to get nowhere.. I tried hard but never once caught up with enjoying it. Never mind!

How many chapters, sentences and paragraphs can Danielle Steel repeat? I felt like I was reading the same dribble throughout this entire book. I hated this book and the writing style even more than the story.

Not even a good beach read! I've never read such a whiny, repetitive tale with horrible dialog. I kept waiting for it to get better. Is this typical of D Steele?

The first book from Danielle Steel that I read and I must say I am looking forward to read more from her. It has a good story line, but I found myself getting a bit frustrated because it tends to repeat the exact same things over and over again. Apart from that, I loved both main characters and what happens to them is really unexpected, and also the friendship/love that they share is beautiful and I love the fact that they were there for eachother even if their lives were a complete disaster for so long.
I would have loved to see more of them together by the end of the book, but I did like it and I'd recomend it.

I haven't read a Danielle Steel book in ages. The fluffy romance is a quick easy read. I would have enjoyed it a bit more if Ms. Steel didn't treat her readers as though they were quite forgetful. There could have been about 100 less pages with all the repeated information about the characters.

The story itself was okay in terms of finding the love of a lifetime. I liked both characters in general, but there were no twists, no surprises and everyone is just so darn good looking its amazing!

For fluff...I enjoyed, but feel it could have been oh so much more.

Oh Dear Lord, took me months to finish this book. The first chapter was soooo damn boring so I stopped reading it for a while. Just for I want to finish my 2013 reading challenge, I forced my self to read this.
Geeez, watta flat storyline, it repeated several things over and over again! What's interesting were just the last 5 chapter of the book, the twists are original. Apart from that prepare yourself for a boring book for almost 400 pages!

The repetitiveness made this a painful read. I forced myself through. It was my first Danielle Steel book, and likely my last.

Simplemente, decepcionante, muy decepcionante y aburrido.

No me esperaba mucho de este libro, s贸lo un libro rom谩ntico y entretenido, sin la obsesi贸n por las escenas er贸ticas de otro libros de este g茅nero. Pero una cosa es eso, y otra es convertir un libro en un verdadero tost贸n "帽o帽o".

Isabelle es una se帽ora francesa casada con un hijo enfermo a su cargo, que tiene una profunda amistad con un se帽or americano dedicado a la pol铆tica. Se enamoran pero su amor es imposible. Y bla bla bla.

La historia se puede contar en menos de la mitad de p谩ginas de las que tiene este libro, y si tiene tantas es porque repite las mismas explicaciones una y otra vez, por si no nos hemos enterado de que el ni帽o est谩 enfermo, el marido es insoportable, etc. Pero es que, para m谩s inri, cada vez que repite una explicaci贸n cambia un aspecto de la misma, de forma que se contradicen entre s铆.

Y adem谩s est谩 descrito de tal forma que muchas veces te lleva a enga帽o sobre los protagonistas. Describe a Isabelle de tal forma que te piensas durante todo el libro que la se帽ora tiene muchos m谩s a帽os de los que en realidad tiene. Se supone que tiene 40 a帽os, y palabras textuales 驴d贸nde va ella con esa edad, qui茅n la va a querer?. Y no hablemos de describir al hijo peque帽o de forma que parece que est谩 hablando de un beb茅, cuando tiene 15 a帽os.

Hac铆a a帽os que no le铆a a esta autora, pero lo que recuerdo eran libros que sin maravillarme s铆 me gustaron y disfrut茅 en su momento. No s茅 lo que ha pasado en este.

Siento que le faltaron p谩ginas a este libro, pero aun as铆 me ha encantado. 馃槏. Si bien me gusta m谩s la fantas铆a que la rom谩ntica pura, creo que todos necesitamos leer de vez en cuando alg煤n libro de est谩s caracter铆sticas.
Verdaderamente me ha sorprendi贸, Danielle Steel de verdad logr贸 que en ciertos momentos quisiera lanzar el libro por la ventana, cuando un personaje tomaba alguna desici贸n est煤pida, o cuando un personaje era terriblemente odioso. Me hizo llorar y re铆r.
Creo que lo le铆 en el momento justo, quiz谩s si lo hubiera le铆do m谩s tarde o mucho antes, no me hubiera gustado tanto.
Puede que tambi茅n haya influenciado, el hecho de que la edici贸n que yo tengo de este libro es de segunda, tercera, cuarta mano. Lo compr茅 en oferta en una feria y me cost贸 muy barato, la edici贸n est谩 muy desgastada e incluso las hojas estaba pegadas a causa de la humedad, pero el hecho que este libro haya sido le铆do antes por otras personas le da otro toque. En definitiva agradezco que haya llegado a mis manos 馃槏馃グ馃摎

Tre膰a pro膷itana knjiga ove (2018.) godine je "Poljubac" od Danijele Stil ("The Kiss" by Danielle Steel), kao dio 膷itala膷kog abecednog izazova u kojem sam dobila slovo "P". U knjizi je rije膷 o ljudima mojih godina: ona u 膷etrdesetim, u nesretnom braku sa sebi膷nim 膷ovjekom, sa k膰erkom tinejd啪erkom i bolesnim sinom kojeg njeguje, a on tako膽e u nesretnom braku, sa dvoje djece... I bili su godinama jedno drugom podr拧ka i prijatelji, preko telefona... On na jednom kontinentu, ona na drugom... Izme膽u njih hiljade kilometara razdaljine, 膷itav okean, te nekoliko sati vremenske razlike. Kada se kona膷no na膽u u Evropi i prvi put poljube, do啪ive stra拧nu saobra膰ajnu nesre膰u i onda slijedi mukotrpna borba za ozdravljenje... I za ljubav 啪ivota... Je li 啪ivot samo 啪rtvovanje bez radosti i tavorenje u braku koji je odavno samo formalna stvar, a oboje ve膰 godinama pate? Koliko mo啪emo toga 啪rtvovati, da bismo i mi jednom osjetili sre膰u, ljubav, sve ono o 膷emu sanjamo...

Such a emotional read,kept me so intrigued it was hard to put it down,every page i was like what next what next,i was so involved in Bill-Isabelle's love journey

Isabelle Forrester and Bill Robinson live in different continents but carry on a friendship via the telephone and a few visits here and there for four years. Isabelle stays at home with her sick child Teddy and her hateful husband. Bill is in a loveless marriage and doesn't want to get divorced because he's afraid it will hurt his career. Isabelle and Bill decide to meet in London for a few days to spend some time together. While in London they share a passionate kiss while at practically the same moment their limousine is hit by a double-decker bus. Their lives are forever changed.

really cried on 2 scenarios

*After the accident when Bill comes to Isabelle's room and talks to her and Isabelle comes back

*When Isabelle's son dies,i was happy he was free of his suffering but at the same time Isabelle's pain brought tears to my eyes

Though many things were predictable but still i liked this one a lot

Good read

I'm glad that this was not the first Danielle Steel book I've ever read or it would certainly be my last. The writing was amateurish and so repetitive that I was able to skip huge sections of the book, especially in the first 3 agonizing chapters. The story is weak and goes nowhere and could have been written in under 100 pages. I get the impression the publisher needed a book ASAP so she took a short story, made a list of ten pre-written descriptive statements and just did a copy and paste from her list on every other page to get it done.

I could see that many people here were not happy with the style of writing and how things were repeated over and again. This was my first book by Danille Steel and I must admit that inspite of the style of writing I still really enjoyed reading this book. This was lying there with a pile of books totally forgotten and am glad that I picked it up atleast now. It was a beautiful love story and I really wanted the best for Isabelle and Bill . A lovely feel good story I wont regret reading !

This wasn't one of her beter one's. It was predictable and too long. It dragged on too long to get to the point. It's also hard to believe that characters can put up with someone like that and live like that.

Two lonely people fall in love and because they are married, they stay in touch by telephone and meet for lunch a couple of times a year. A terrible accident tears them apart and a tragedy brings them together.

Creo que queda claro que no me gust贸 para nada este libro.
Lo que m谩s me molesta y en lo que gira el libro es una historia de amor en la que las dos partes le son infieles a sus matrimonios. El de Isabelle podr铆a llegar a entenderlo, pero lo de Bill me parece una excusa pat茅tica. Que los dos se resguardan en que sus matrimonios son feos para ser infieles, me parece un muy mal mensaje.
Respecto a la forma de escritura, me pareci贸 sumamente repetitiva. Se mencionaba minimamente 5 veces en un cap铆tulo que sus matrimonios estaban mal, la opini贸n de los personajes acerca de un mismo tema y la pregunta de Bill de por qu茅 Isabelle no dejaba a Gordon y listo. Sin repeticiones, el libro hubiera durado 100 p谩ginas.
El final me pareci贸 igual de malo. A partir de como la mitad del libro vemos desarrollando la opini贸n de Bill acerca de algo, y en un segundo cambia de opini贸n como si nada.
La parte del mensaje en que afirma que todos tienen el derecho de amar y ser amados me gust贸, pero no me gust贸 como se llev贸 a cabo entre Bill e Isabelle.

While going through the aisles of a library, randomly picked up a Danielle Steel book The Kiss as I liked the title. But this book does not live up to the expectation. The story would have been over in maximum 100 pages but it is dragged through every page.

The story revolves around two couples Gordon and Isabelle and Cynthia and Bill who are extremely unhappy in their marriage. Isabelle and Bill get close to each other, they talk over phone and meet once in a while as they stay miles apart. They know their relation will never be anything more than friendship. They meet once and it leads to a very passionate kiss which changes their lives forever.

The story is very touching and you only crave for a happy ending.

WOW me sorprend铆.

El libro cuenta la historia de Isabelle y Bill, dos amigos que comparten la desdicha de vivir en matrimonios que no quieren pero un viaje y un beso cambia todo.
La verdad es que al cap 3, la autora mete una tragedia de esas que dec铆s "como la remonta ahora?", pero mis aplausos a Danielle por saber hacerlo.
Es un libro bastante pasivo pero atrapante y de lectura ligera, ideal para los bloqueos.
Se nota una especie de evoluci贸n en los personajes, no es taanta porque son personas de 40 a帽os y no se nota tanto la evoluci贸n como con un personaje de 20, pero igual se nota el proceso de sus sentimientos.

Opisi su mi se svideli ali me je 啪ivciralo 拧to je Stil iste stvari ponavljala po vi拧e puta kroz razgovore i razmi拧ljanja likova. Ima zanimljivih delova kad knjigu bukvalno nisam mogla da ispustim iz ruku ali ima i delova (posebno pred kraj) koji su bili dosadni i predvidivi kao i sam rasplet koji je imao potencijala da bude m n o g o bolji, i da knjiga dobije 4(+) zvezdice (da je Izabela u膷inila ne拧to mo膰no i vi拧e hrabro).

Well the saying is right鈥� never judge a book by its cover! I was lured in by the Klimt on the cover but unless I missed it- my eyes never ones saw anything connected to Klimt at all haha.
Also- I feel like I spent 8 hours reading 2 hours worth of a story.
I shall now go back to not reading anymore DS books
