Customer Reviews

Beautifully Crafted!!

The story moved, pulling me along. Old world melds with new world as the lead character transforms. Interesting plot. Creative story line. Loved the ending! Bravo for Danielle Steel!!!

Interesting story

I liked this book because I found it very interesting. I was able to read about a culture that I didn't know, and get a better understanding. It was a sad, horrible time for Japanese Americans, something that I think many of us forget- this story makes us remember.

RIVETING!

When I first picked up `Silent Honor` I didn't know that the journey the book would take me through would be so full with emotions of every kind possible. So much occurs in the book that it is not humanly possible to write it all down but all I can say is that when you first pick up this book you will read it through every spare minute you have. A masterpiece by any writers standards Danielle Steel's novel of a Japanese girl living through the war in America is one of quality that no other writer can produce. Danielle Steel, will she ever stop?

A Terrific Novel!!!!

I just fell in love with this book. I believe it is one of her best novels yet. It is the perfect story of love and romance. I would recomend it for anybody who loves a good romance.

Silent Honor suprisingly IMPRESSED me!

With wonderfully painted characters and a "self-reflective" plot, Danielle Steel creates a terrific story about the Asian culture and WWII. She obviously has done much research about the time era and culture. I was astounded by the situations that the Japanese American people had to tolerate. As with Message From Nam, I was pleasantly suprised at how Steel writes about war. I've never been a history "buff" nor a historical fiction fan. Upon looking at the title, Silent Honor, I assumed a boring "war" novel. I was pleasantly mistaken. This book will challenge you to reflect on how you feel about other cultures and your sympathies toward them. I was absolutely impressed!!!
