Negative Positive
Title: "Bridges of Madison County" Danielle Steel style
Review: You have to hand it to Danielle Steel--if bandwagon jumping was an Olympic event, she'd be Marion Jones. This novel was so obviously influenced by "The Bridges Of Madison County" I'm surprised she didn't dedicate it to Robert James Waller. Of course, since Ms. Steel cannot abide poverty (or even middle class), the book takes place in the swanky Paris Ritz instead of an Iowa farmhouse. I gave it two stars because it's been a very long time since I laughed this hard reading a book. Totally ludicrous and predictable--but, then again, what Danielle Steel book isn't?
Is the review positive or negative?
