I found this book to be quite trite. The story of a man who loses his wife and son, and finds replacements for both of them, is not exactly the least predictable tale ever told. I also found the descriptions of characters and settings to be quite empty. I pictured Quinn, Maggie, and Jack more as phantoms floating in and out of ambiguous locales than as actual people operating in the real world. Even in one of the final scenes where dozens of people aboard a ship are certain they are going to die

I used to read all of Danielle Steel's books and then I got burned out on them as they are all basically the same story line just different character names and places. However, after several years of avoiding them I decided to read this book when I picked it up at a sale for 50 cents. It turned out to be pretty good. Although it was the same type of story that Steel is known for writing, (a wealthy couple, relationship gone wrong or ended by death, sex without marriage, you know...), I did li

another rather predictable story. but what saved this from complete mediocrity is the developing bromance between quinn and jack, which takes place early on in the book. a bromantic love triangle between quinn, jack and maggie would have sweetened the deal, but hey, it's a hetero romance novel so i guess that's just one of the limitations of the genre. although i really don't think any so-called "straight" man would ever name his boat "vol de nuit" after a novel by antoine de

Miracle, buku karangan Danielle Steel yang baru tamat tadi pagi aku bacanya. Seperti biasa tokoh tokoh yang digambarkan Danielle Steel adalah pria dan wanita berumur sekitar 40 hingga 60an......
A story to make you laugh, cry and care..........begitu ditulis disampul bukunya. Cerita yang cukup menyentuh dan mengaduk ngaduk perasaan kemudian diakhiri dengan happy ending seperti buku buku Danielle Steel lainnya, yang membuat lega hati setelah perasaan mengharu biru membaca alur kata dan More...

Danielle Steel has a predictable recipe for her novel... character faces a crisis and recovers to find happiness. It's nice to be assured that there is life beyond personal crisis, but the formula gets a bit contrite, especially when everyone always lives happily ever after.
The biggest negative in her writing of Miracle was repetition. Every fact was repeated at least three times, as if the reader didn't catch it the first time around. For me it made the story drag on.

I find Danielle Steel a little predictable at times. This book started off slow and picked up speed. I almost returned it to the library unread after 5 pages. I'm glad I gave it another try. The story was good, the characters decent and not embarrassingly full of sex. I'm not a person who sails or is familiar with sail boats but I did enjoy reading about the glorious vessels. The father/son dynamic between Jack and Quinn was heartwarming. And I would have been terribly upset if he left Maggie b

Three people are brought together as a result of a major storm that damages several houses. Quinn is a wealthy businessman, recently bereaved and harbouring a lot of guilt; Maggie, his neighbour, has recently been divorced; and Jack, the carpenter who fixes their houses, hides a shameful secret.
The story is good, the characters are likeable, and there is a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it's not realised. The writing is repetitive and cliché-ridden, the action is overwhelmed with More...

It was a great book about how a man looses his wife, and really looking back he realizes he was never there for his kids. he tries to reconnect with them and ends up falling in love all over again.

كان خفيفا , تناولته اثناء الامتحانات , قصص دانيال ستيل كلها تصلح كأفلام ربما لأن شخصياتها تبدو مسطحه ..

Better than coming out and also a quick read. Read in one day and I liked the characters better in this one. She always paints the perfect pictures of drama and wealth and I always feel like I'm reading Dynastyesque or Falcon Crestish novels.

I loved reading this book though I have just started reading it. Quinn, Maggie and Jack had their own stories to tell and I could relate to their feelings. But I must say that that there is a silver lining behind those dark clouds.

A little on the depressing side. The main character goes on and on about how he doesn't deserve good things happening to him. Get over it already. It was a quick read. Now I know I won't have to read it again.

storm,bad situations, heart aches,etc.. disaster as we may see it but those are blessing in disguise. in fact it will lead us to greater blessings if we attain the learning on every situation.

I read this book in two days. My first Danielle Steel book. I see why all the women like it. This is a good book to read if you like romance. And also if you're going through changes in life...

Maybe it only deserves one star instead of two. Cheeeeeesy romance.
Repeating the same thing over and over. Guilt, love, and various other anguishing emotions.
Whatever.
