One summer when I was a teenager I had no money and nothing to do. I started digging into my mom's bookshelf just for something different to read. (You can only read your Sweet Valley High and V.C.Andrews so many times.) I plowed through book after book of Danielle Steel that summer. And after I read it I claimed the book as mine and it went on my bookshelf. To this day I don't know if my mom has actually read a Danielle Steel novel.
Bernie Fine, our main character, finds himself being transferred from his beloved New York City to San Francisco. While he's less than thrilled about the move, his life changes for the better as he meets five-year-old Jane and her mother Liz. Bernie has found the love of his life in Liz, and they quickly marry. However, that would be way too easy for a Danielle Steel novel, and we find that shortly after the birth of their first child, Liz is faced with a losing battle to cancer. Now, Bernie fin...
Fine Things, Danielle SteelBernard "Bernie" Fine is a highly successful businessman who moves from New York City to San Francisco for his work at the west coast Wolff's department store. One day, he meets Liz O'Reilly, a single mother who was left by her husband Chandler Scott around the time of her daughter Jane's birth. After a lengthy time of dating, Bernie and Liz decide to marry. Although his mother Ruth, a proud Jew, is not enthusiastic about Liz's religious background, she eventually come...
Excellent read! a complex and delightful story about caring,loving and how one treats others less fortunate...well written (paperback!)
I went for YA and I shouldn't have. Bernie Fine's story is good but much much tedious. There's Sheila, his first love. Isabella, his second. Liz, his one and only (for some chapters). Then their marriage, child, Liz's cancer, her death and details of everything she did before her death. Their daughter kidnapping then, blah blah more chapters. And Megan comes then. Bernie's last wife hopefully. Their romance and everything. My God! I lost two brain cells while reading this.
One of the best Danielle Steel books I've read. Not only is this book NOT about a female heroine, it's very realistic. The main character, a man called Bernard (aka Bernie) isn't exceptionally handsome or anything, and has an over protective mother. His luck with women isn't the best, until he found Elizabeth O'Reily! His mother, or should is say, his JEWISH mother, didn't approve of her at first due to the simple fact that Liz isn't Jewish. Later on though she learns to accept her and love her....
i loved that this book was written from a man's perspective, and such a great guy! i've moved away from romance-type novels, but this will always be one of my faves. oh, i guess a small warning: i cried and cried!!! (still a wonderful book though)
Danielle Steel isn’t one of my go-to authors, and I hadn’t read her for a long time. “Fine Things” is a great read for practicing speed reading skills; there are four major events in the life of Bernie Fine, and they—as well as the ending—are revealed early in the book. From there on it’s a scan from one life-altering event (mostly tragic) to the next--400+ pages of it. All of which are easier, of course, since Bernie is richer than rich. Kinder than kind as well. Stupider than stupider sometime...
Fine Things by Danielle SteelBernie starts out as a jock in high school, goes to college, avoids the draft and ends up in a clothing store-the owner loves his ideas.Years later and relationships later we find him living on the west coast running another store. He first sees the little girl and falls in love with her, then meets the mother and they start a relationship, get married months laterand move to NY where she finds out she is pregnant. As the story goes on we find out Liz back story and
Life's JourneysSuper storyline and caring, loving characters. This is the first book that has affected me so. Several times I just had to stop and cry. Can't remember the last time this has happened while I was reading a book.
Great book...I have never cried so hard while reading a book aside from Where a Red Fern Grows ; )
THIS NOVEL IS THE FIRST AND ONLY NOVEL THAT HAS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS.
This is an older Steel book and I did enjoy it. I do find now that her books are becoming cookie cutter and I don't read all of the newer ones, unless I happen to see them at the library.
this book is my favorite Danielle Steel book,if you don't mind crying like a big baby when you read it!
