Waste of Money
If I could give this book a half of a star I would. I got this book at the airport to pass time. Well, time did pass very slowly. It took me two hours to get through the first chapter. Everytime I would attempt to read it I would fall asleep. The characters are boring, the plot is boring, everything about this book is boring, and the writing is lame. My time would have been better spent reading for my Abnormal Psychology class. Don't even waste your money on it, hold out for something better.

Sisters
I decided to give Danielle Steel one more chance to impress me.I had read her in the past and found that she repeated herself constantly throughout the entire book - and this was no exception.If I was actually reading the book, I could have skipped parts.Unfortunately it is a book on tape and I couldn't do that.Suffice it to say that this is my last attempt to appreciate her style.Without the numerous repetitions, the book would have been short enough for a short story.

for immature people
with all respect to Danielle Steel but I think she should have mentioned that this book is for teenagers , nothing unusual or special , same old stories

Great service
Got my cd's in good time, the product was in good shape and all was good!

Slow Beginning. Great Middle. Disappointing Ending. Okay Overall.
The book got off to a rather slow start. The writer spent the first forty or so pages describing each of the main characters and giving their back story. Had the writer not insisted on making the same points and repeating the same thoughts over and over again as if her readers are idiots and wouldn't comprehend the first, second or third time around, those forty pages could have easily been wrapped up in a good ten pages.

After the first forty pages the book really took off and developed into a great story. The accident and the events that followed really keep me interested. However, there was a bit of confusion with some of the main characters. For the first half of the book I often got Sabrina and Tammy confused as they had very similar characteristics and lifestyles. The only thing that separated them was the fact that one had a boyfriend and the other didn't. I almost felt as if the writer should have merged the two and made one character. It wasn't until much later in the book that Tammy became a necessary part of the story. Then there's Candy. With her being the worlds most popular and successful supermodel I'm confused as to how she managed to live a rather normal life. She was able walk the streets and enter regular establishments and never once where there paparazzi or screaming fans around. She had no drivers, personal assistants or bodyguards; nothing to make the readers believe that she was this huge star that was described early on in the book.

The book ended on a cliffhanger which was a bit disappointing to me. There should have been one more chapter at the end to tie everything up. I really wanted to know how things worked out for each character, mainly Annie and the dad.

With that being said, if it weren't for the slow start, the slight confusion with the main characters and the cliffhanger ending, Sisters would have been a 5 star read. But with all things considered I can only give it 3 stars.
