It is many years since I read any of Danielle Steel's work. At that time I quite enjoyed her books. I am now about half way through 'Echoes' lent to me by a friend.

I have no arguement with the subject matter. However, I find her style of writing and expression so very trite and childish.

Has she changed her style ..... or am I just getting a cantankerous old b*****? I am interested in your comments.

I think you have outgrown her style. I used to love her books but like you i find them too young now .probably suited to the younger gal who is still in a romantic bloom!!! lol

I don't think she has changed her style, I now only ever read her if I pick up one of hers on holiday because I too have outgrown them. I think it may be to do with the fact that there are so many better authors around nowadays.
