Star (1994) - Plot & Excerpts

Another heart touching book!I really don’t understand how Danielle Steel could write so touching book.Or maybe because it’s always based on a girl.A girl (Crystal) has known this guy (Spencer) when she was fourteen years old-he did ask her to marry him-but not the right time –always! –They find each other again once he’s engaged to another girl –then again after he gets married to his fiancée- Then he realized that he does not love his wife.The girl (Crystal) mixed up with another guy & thinks that she owns too much to this guy to leave him- Then this guy won’t let her leave when she wanted to – And Spencer’s wife doesn’t give him a divorce when he wanted to -& this goes for on & on for years – Spencer ask again to marry Crystal buy at that time he had political aspirations & a terrific job waiting for him- Crystal ended it all –for his sake – And finally she realize that she’s pregnant – And never tell him that.

I found myself enjoying this book despite myself, which is why I give it only 3 stars. I think the characters are fairly interesting, but the romance aspects are on-again and off-again so often that it's a bit too much drama for my personal taste. Then again, anyone who is a "star" gets cloaked in the traditional concepts of drama...so it's not so far out there. Danielle Steele is a novelist who writes in the romance genre, typically, and I enjoy that aspect. This book I picked up at a local library sale knowing nothing about it except the author; I was not disappointed. It's a good little read, particularly if you're in the mood for some suspense/drama of the romantic nature. :)

What do You think about Star (1994)?

I read this book when I was very young and have revisited it over the years. This book is really one of my favorites, but I couldn't bring myself to give it 5 stars. Crystal and Spencer (the main characters in the story) obviously love one another very much, however, they make so many mistakes and it takes years and years for them to end up together. So many years wasted - it literally gave me anxiety attacks. I found myself actually getting angry with them (as if they were actual people) and I would set the book down for several days before continuing. But, I always finished it because the happy ending is what I was always waiting for.

After World War II Crystal Wyatt, a beautiful young woman moves to Hollywood dreaming of singing and acting in films. She meets and falls in love with Spencer Hille, He thinks she is too young for marriage and convinces himself he's not in love. Spencer later marries someone, who suits his family and life style as a lawyer. Crystal makes it big as a Hollywood star. When the characters meet again they realize they are destined to be together. However, there's a lot of suffering on the way. I think this is one of Danielle Steels's better novel.

I had read the synopsis of "Star" several years ago but could not remember what it was about. Nevertheless I decided to give it a try.It was certainly not the best Danielle Steel novel that I have read but it was satisfactory. I knew how it was going to end,that the two main characters,Spencer Hill and Crystal Wyatt, would end up together.I just did not know how.The story spans a 14-year period,set mostly in California,in the late 40s up to 1963.Not to give much away but from the outside it appears to be quite scandalous. However, one may begin to empathise with the characters and why they behave the way they do. On the other hand, I really had to wonder if it was lust at first sight rather than love,especially on the part of Spencer ,because other than the fact the Crystal was spectacular-looking, I couldn't understand why he fell in love with her in the beginning. Notwithstanding,I did like these two characters anyway.
