5.0 out of 5 stars DS does it again!!!, July 2, 2001

Leap of Faith is a great read. Danielle Steel has written a wonderful book. The main character, Marie-Ange, is likeable from page one. The reader is guaranteed to feel her joy and pain as she feels them. Marie-Ange is faced with tragedy at the young age of 11. She is forced to leave her home country and live with a relative who doesn't really show any emotion except hate, of everyone and everything. I literally had tears in my eyes as I read of the horrible things that happened to Marie-Ange when she went to live with her aunt. Hurrah for Billy. He was definitely a blessing from the first meeting between him and Marie-Ange.

This book reminded me of the earlier Danielle Steel books. It seems as if some of her more recent works were not quite as emotional and interesting as her older works. Leap of Faith is an excellent book. It has a good story line and moves at a good pace. The reader doesn't have time to get bored. I felt like I couldn't read this book fast enough. Even though it is a short 202 pages it is packed full of all the ingredients that make a DS book good to read. Definitely a book that you'll want to read now and again in a few months or years. This is a lasting DS novel. :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Have I read this before?, July 4, 2001

This review is from: Leap of Faith (Hardcover)

I have read almost every book that Danielle Steel has written and I must say, this time she should have pushed herself away from the typewritter and taken a break. She has written the same story over and over. Her books used to have much more depth to them. Marie is the same ignorant girl that has been the main character in her more recent books. I was never able to determine what time period this was supposed to take place in but I have to wonder where the people were that were supposed to watch over this poor little orphan back in France. If you want real good Danielle Steel you would be better served to read No Greater Love or Kalidescope. Come on Danielle, your true fans deserve better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, June 13, 2001

Danielle Steel's "Leap of Faith" is definitely worth reading. Steel does a fantastic job of character development and moving the story along. Even by reading the first few pages of the book, I felt like I knew Marie-Ange. She is a strong and noble character. We have all gone through trials and tribulations during our lifetime, and we are easily able to empathize with her.

Danielle Steel wrote this book very well. It is definitely worth reading if you have a few hours to spare!
