Fine Things (2007) - Plot & Excerpts

This book is about a man named Bernie. In his life he has met many people but they all have a special place in his life. When he meets his future wife he has no idea what will happen next. The incoming events are difficult and touching to him and his loved ones. He has a kid that came with his wife Liz. The kid named Jane finds that Bernie not only is a good father but also a good supporter in events to come.I can connect to the world because people marry others and already have kids that become adopted. Jane becomes adopted by Bernie who is fairly rich but also has his problems. I can understand how difficult this is for both of them getting used to each other.I give this book a five out five because it is very realistic. The problems here are not one that an average person might have but are still touching. They have problems that people have rarely and still deal with it. It shows how mature and good people still outnumber the bad intentions in the world.

In Fine Things, Danielle Steel told us a tale about life and loss. Bernie Fine was an upcoming "wonderboy" in a New York department store and looked into the eyes of 5-year-old Jane O'Reilley. He knew she was the love of his life that would last a lifetime. After they marry and she gave birth to their first child, Jane was stricken with cancer. He knew the time they had together was short. Now alone with two children, he must deal with the loss and learned how to move on with his kids with new people, new experiences, and learned life's lessons with a dose of courage and humor. A tear-jerker!

What do You think about Fine Things (2007)?

What a heartbreaking page-turner. I couldn't put this down. It pulled out all of the saddest stops, and it successfully became only the second book ever to make me cry.I love that the main character is a male, based on everything he goes through. This is something I'd typically read happening to a woman. Steel throws all of the most devastating happenings possible at this character and you can't help but feel sorry for him. I know Steel has the reputation for being over-the-top and cheesy, but it works. When a story captures my attention that quickly and for that long, I know it's good. I was sad for the book to end. I'll definitely be reading more of her.

This was my first Danielle Steel novel. I'm not sure if her other books are different but I don't think I will be finding out. Unfortunately, I did not really like the writing. It just seemed very forced and very rushed. It seemed like she wanted a happy ending, so she rushed to get there; then, when she got there, she realized she was only a third of the way through the book so she had to put in some conflict. Once she did that (and it was over fairly suddenly), she needed another happy ending, so she forced that to happen. I didn't find myself caring enough about the characters.

One of the best Danielle Steel books I've read. Not only is this book NOT about a female heroine, it's very realistic. The main character, a man called Bernard (aka Bernie) isn't exceptionally handsome or anything, and has an over protective mother. His luck with women isn't the best, until he found Elizabeth O'Reily! His mother, or should is say, his JEWISH mother, didn't approve of her at first due to the simple fact that Liz isn't Jewish. Later on though she learns to accept her and love her. (Liz has a daughter).Anyways, long story short, this story talks about a man's journey through life. It's quite interesting tbh
