After years of having a wife and nice, normal family, Oliver suddenly finds himself thrust into playing the role of both mother and father. While I would not go to the extent of calling this novel a sexist one, I must admit that I was a little baffled by the way that roles were set out for women and men. Oliver seemed to believe that the place of a woman had to be exclusively at home- even if I also have a hard time digesting the fact ...more

Daddy - Danielle Steel: A great book with the right dose of realism (439 words)
by - written on 16/07/09 (Useful, 156 readings)
Rating:

Contains spoilers This novel differs from other Danielle Steel novels mainly because of the fact that it is one of the rare novels which centers about the life and relationship of male protagonists instead of female ones. Literary critics, however, have had a hard time in digesting the whole concept of the novel, Daddy- some even going to the extent of calling it a "sexist" novel. The plot centers around the lives of three men- The father being the main character, his son and own father as the secondary characters. The novel shows how each man copes with the loss of their first love. Oliver, the main protagonist, is devastated when his wife announces ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Daddy - Danielle Steel
by k clark - written on 29/04/08
Rating:

I do not understand how it is possible for Danielle Steel to be permitted to continue writing...her books are painful to read, they're so bad...the characters are horrible, the plot is confused, the storyline is sappy and pointless. Does no one edit these books? Are her editors drunk or perhaps heavily medicated? It's a piss-off that this woman has made millions of dollars writing complete nonsense. I wonder what she reads for inspiration...maybe comic books...she clearly doesn't have much depth.

Danielle steel is an author. Over the last few days I have watched on the television two of her classics, which have been adapted to television. I have found these novels really enjoyable and interesting. The one that I watched yesterday was called ‘remembrance’ I found this really good and I had to see the whole programme to see what happened. For anyone who is interested in these sort of books, it is about a girl who moves to America and gets married but is not accepted in her husbands family, he then goes to war had dies and she is left alone with a young daughter. She then goes in to a modelling career and marries a famous photographer, who later ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

'Daddy' is different to other Daniel Steel novels because the main woman character is painted as ‘the villain’ although a lot of women will sympathise with her! A seemingly happily married mum suddenly decides life is about to pass her by. So she decides to get out after 18 years and live it. She wants to travel to Europe, she wants to go back to school and in doing so she basically abandons her stunned husband and her kids. With only so much as an ‘I need to do this’ she just bolts. The stunned Dad, sudenly has to take over the running of his family on his own. This is a story of survival. This is one of Daniel ...  Read the complete review
