 ... wife announces that she will leave him and the whole family to go away to college. 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

Premium Review Daddy - Danielle Steel: Daddy Takes Responsibility (577 words)

Rating:

This is chick lit, and the first Danielle Steele book that I have read, although as she is a prolific chick lit author (I know of 65 published books), I have been aware of her existence for many years. I read this one on the recommendation of a friend who enjoys mainly women authors, but as diverse styles as Martina Cole's thrillers to any Mills & Boon romance. I made the mistake of reading the book cover first. This gave away at least the first half of the plot, and the plot wasn't strong enough for me to enjoy it much after that. In case you still want to read the book, against my advice, I won't spoil the plot for you. I will tell you that ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Daddy - Danielle Steel: Danielle Steele at it's worst (717 words)
by - written on 21/06/07 (Very useful, 488 readings)
Rating:

It has been a while since I read any of Danielle Steel. In her earlier books, although she had a good knack of holding a story together, where I felt she failed to gain my attention was that all of her heroines were beautiful people in designer clothing and living amidst the rich. I was neither entertained by it, nor did it appeal to my imagination very much. Having read work, it would never give me food for thought, which is what I expect from any novel that I take the time to read. Daddy is a strange sort of tale and takes Daniel Steele out of the realms of the rich and famous, though into male perspective to a certain degree, since the main character within ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A great book with the right dose of realism (439 words)
by - written on 16/07/09 (Useful, 35 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

'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
