The Klone and I
Stephanie had a rat for a husband. But after 13 years of marriage and two kids, she was devastated when he left her for a younger woman. Suddenly Stephanie was alone. And after months of trying to find a little romance on New York's wild singles circuit, she was ready to give up, reconciled to just raising her two great, but outspoken, kids. Then a spur-of-the-moment trip...more

What a lovely book ... I was surprised that Danielle really has a great sense of humor ... the book is so funny .. actually it is the funniest book I have read eveeer :D
when I read the summary I thought the idea is so silly but it really amazed me ..
the novel is a little bit old from the ninety I found it at the old books store and I was very lucky to have such a great book ...

Amazon.com Review
Evidently, Danielle Steel has been kidnapped by a mad scientist who clamped her into some gizmo that fused her brain with that of Douglas Adams, author of The Klone and I: A High-Tech Love Story, boasts her typical trappings--a divorced heroine, a cruel man, a sexy man with big money, and lots of shopping with brand-name tags conspicuously attached--the book is also the wackiest bit of self-indulgent sci-fi since
The Klone and I starts out normally enough: after a 13-year marr

Danielle Steel is pretty hit or miss with me -- I either absolutely love the story she's telling, or I just can't stand it. I wasn't able to make up my mind about this one until I was nearly at the end, and by then I figured I might as well finish it, even though I had little interest in the ending. (It was predictable, in case you were wondering.)

I used to read Danielle Steel when I was 13 and 14. By 15, I was onto her and over her. She wrote very formulaically and she was also a dork, the latter being less forgivable to a highschool sophomore.

I read this book when it was released and loved it. I never knew Ms. Steel had such a wacky sense of humor! Having read her earlier books like "Palomino", "Fine Things", and "No Greater Love", her newer books were becoming very formulaic (girl loses boy by boy dying, tragedy, repeat, all in the same novel. Is she killing off her ex-husbands in her books?). Always loving a humorous story, and clones for some reason, having them combined in this novel was delightful.
If you read this book, keep yo...more
Atrocious. One of the most unfunny, ridiculous books I've read.
Stephanie is a recently divorced mother of two. While spending a few days in Paris, she meets an intriguing engineer who sweeps her off her feet. Unfortunately, he travels quite a bit for work. So, while he's gone, he sends over his newest creation: his Klone. Now, Stephanie must choose between the man she loves and the Klone who makes her giddy.

....To be sincere this book was not the best book of the world of course not.
I read it while in a free period, yeah I read it all in a free period because there's a good amount of uneeded pages and boring discription.
It does leave you with a raised eyebrow going..."What was that?"
Really the only reson I enjoyed the book and didn't put it down was one, I was bored, two, it was funny, three I was trying to avoid some people, and four because of Paul Klone, the only reason I enjoyed the book, damn...more

The klone and I by Danielle Steel
Roger has left Stephanie with 2 kids and he's suing her in the divorce. She took care of everything for him.
She started taking better care of herself after he left with his girlfriend. She had to pay alimony and custody out of her trust fund.
She meets Peter in Pairs and as he has to work he has created a clone of himself: Paul Clone.
He was just too perfect and she stayed in touch with him. Paul Clone is only the same as Peter in looks only.

Not a very thought-provoking, philosophical read. It's about a woman who gets divorced after her husband leaves her for blonde bimbo type; she falls in love with a guy who has a clone of himself. The clone, personality-wise, however, is very different...and the woman thinks she's in love with both of them. The story was okay for a quick read, but the fickleness of the woman--and just the plain concept--didn't ever really read well for me. Obviously not intended to be incredibly realistic, I felt...more
Absolute rubbish. So bad. I do enjoy a DS book normally and I don't expect genious. I purchase almost all of my books from a charity organisation, of which most get returned for re-sale. They will make another couple of dollars. This is the only positive out of this reading and cringeworthy experience. Therefore, as a person having just read this book and with only my fellow readers interest at heart, I would like to leave this review hoping that I have wholeheartedly and thoroughly convinced yo...more
This book was intertaining at times.In spots it made me laugh out loud..The outlandish clothes that the klone would wear would really make your imagination work to picture what he would look like. For instance one outfit was a flourescent green pair of tight fitting pants with a black netting see through T-Shirt. Another was a hot pink spandex jumpsuit with a matching G - String...Can't imagine a guy wearing this stuff other than for Halloween... Also his sexual games were pretty funny as well.....more
It was loaned to my by my neighbor and I read it cuz I was homebound and sick; it was ok, kind of stupidly entertaining which I guess is the lowest requirement of books. But it seems that Ms. Steel has gotten to the point where she has to write a whole paragraph of one sentence repeated or explained several times in order to have enough words to constitute a book rather than a short story.
I bought this audio book at a garage sale for a dollar right before taking a long road trip. I want my dollar back. I am giving it one star only because there appears to be no option to give negative star ratings and this is the worst I can give. This is my first (and last) Danielle Stelle book and for the life of me I cannot understand how she is such a popular and successful author.
I loved this book soooo much. I have read books before, but I didn't ever really get around to finishing them unless they were school assigned, or issued. As far as reading on my own it was a rare if I finished a book by reading it from cover to cover and not to whenever I wanted it to end. This was the book that I finally read on my own as well as finished on my own!

I was talking to Jay and our conversation drifted to romance novels. I made a comment and Jay asked if I had ever actually read a romance novel. I said I thought I had, but it must have been a period romance novel (I haven't remembered which one yet, so it's not on my bookshelf.) Because of this conversation, I decided to get a book that I _knew_ was a romance novel from the library and read it. Danielle Steel seemed an obvious choice. I chose one that didn't seem too think and borrowed it witho...more

i read this book a few years ago to distract myself from some wretched times, because my friend carey told me it was the worst book ever. back when she worked at the airport bookstore it was a big seller & she'd glanced at it and always meant to read it.
i can't remember a lot of it, but i do remember the basic premise is that a woman meets mr. perfect, who works for some kind of bioengineering firm. he has to travel a lot for business, so he "klones" himself so she won't be lonely. but the...more

I saw this laying around in my aunt's house and i decided to read it. Now, was it a good decision?
Not the best one i've made..
As i went through the pages, i had somewhat a hard time taking in the whole 'clone' thing. the story line for me wasn't as great as i expected, especially from an author like D.Steele. My need for a decent book was not satisfied then.

This was actually the first book I read by her, after my mother recommended it to me, and I found it both funny and charming. I loved the story and the humor in it, and the ending was different to what I'm used to reading.
Need to get my own copy, will totally reread it in years to come. Worth at least one read.

Danielle Steel has gone insane. The story line of this book is beyond crazy. Not being able to decide if she loves her boyfriend or his clone/robot! Come on Danielle...what was going on with you?! There were some funny parts that I had to laugh out loud. But mostly I thought "this is ridiculous" while I was reading.
- i was hooked by the first page .
this is the first book i read from Danielle and she honestly
did an amazing job at keeping me interested throughout the whole book .
i absolutely loved it & it's the reason i still to this day read her books .

This book was not a normal Danielle Steel book...if you're getting bored with the standard Danielle Steel plots then pick this one up...but if you're a die hard fan you're going to be sorely upset about this one. She has definitely gone out of her mind with this one.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. not even remotely funny. A child could have written a better book. This was an old book from family shelf...trying to read and purge. Didn't read all of this...too stupid.

i absolutly hated this one ... she broke from her traditonal style of writting and went on a weird acid trip writting binge......not worth the time or the money or energy to read!!!!
Ok, this was a strange story line for Danielle Steele....it wasn't her usual but it was a cute...if strange,but at times entertaining short read.
I think the characters really saved this wacky story.

I had high hopes for my first Danielle Steel book. Oh well. It's just too hard to believe that a woman could seriously struggle choosing between a real man or his clone.
This book was the reason I quit reading Danielle Steel. It was one of the worst books I have ever read. It seemed like a book she just wrote to meet a deadline. Terrible...

Since 1981, Ms. Steel has been a permanent fixture on the New York Times hardcover and paperback bestseller lists. In 1989, she was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having at least one of her books on the Times bestseller list for 381 consecutive weeks. But Guinness was premature. The fact is that one or more of Ms. Steel's novels have been on the New York Times bestseller list for...more
