The Whittiers by Danielle Steel
1.0
I can be a bit snobby about books so I thought I would branch out and read a Danielle Steel. After all, she’s sold a billion copies so she must be on to something.
I can confirm she is not on to anything.
I had expected a twee, sweet tale of some kind. Not a tour-de-force but an enjoyable yarn. What I got was a bafflingly repetitive, puerile, achingly boring, nonsensical steaming pile of crap of a book. I’m shocked this was professionally published. The repetition alone is unbelievable, hammering every point over and over as though Ms Steel thought that those with short-term memory loss were her main audience. The writing is the very definition of “telling not showing”, and everything that she tells you is dull as dishwater.
If you’re looking for something fun and light that isn’t absolute drivel, I recommend reading Liane Moriarty instead. Or anything really, other that this utter waste of paper.
