I have read this book twice and both times it had me in tears. I think that it is a very good book and Danielle Steel is a very talented writer.
This is one of the finest books that I have ever read! Bernie Fine is the kinda person you root for! I could not put this book down, I just had to keep reading about Bernie and see what happens next in his lfe! It's a must read!
good reading
Seemed slow at first but wait it out...I'm glad I did - tear jerker.
This is typical Steel - a nice fluffy easy read, with the predictable happy ending. A good mindless read for after a long day.
As usual Danielle Steel has a great story.
Very Good Book!!!
Every Danielle Steel books are excellent. She won't disappoint you with Fine Things.

This is different for Danielle Steele. A man is the main character who overcomes all the tragedy. Made it interesting. A character I'd really like to know. A good guy.
love story that is pleasure to read about.
Good short read
