Reader Reviews:
The Cottage (0/0 people found this helpful)
Well recommended but Danielle Steel has much better books out there which are less predictable and have far better twists.
Fantastic (0/0 people found this helpful)
Another fantastic novel by Danielle Steel.
I have noticed that not all of her novels after 2000 are always great, it seems to be hit and miss, but thankfully this one was alright. Wasn't one of her best, but better then two of her novels I've read recently.
This time her novel takes you on a journey with an aging film actor who spends money like water, he's got himself into terrible debt and has to alter his lifestyle quickly or suffer the consequences. He has to take on to tenants and their rents would help to save his property. You then follow the lives of these three males and see how they manage to alter their lives.

I really don't want to say much more about the story as it would spoil it for you and I don't want to do that.
This isn't a good novel to read if you've never read any of Danielle Steels before, start on her older ones,(have a look at my reviews and they should help you to decide). If you buy this novel you won't be disappointed it is one of her better novels that she's written after 2000. I found it to be an easy read and compulsive. :-)
Once you start, you can't put it down! (10/15 people found this helpful)
Well what can I say?? bought the book on a Thursday, tried hard to leave it in the holiday cupboard until October but after pacing up and down the kitchen for two days had no choice but to get the book out - an unknown force was making me do it. Once you start to read this book, you cannot stop and here I am having just finished it Monday. I've laughed out loud, cried silently and with each page have followed a truly brilliant story and didn't want it to end! The story is well written and not at all predictable with suprises when you least expect them. Be warned you will have to take time to read this book, I tried to put it down but couldn't - in the end the book won hands down!
A light-hearted good read (20/21 people found this helpful)
As a huge DS fan I have of late been rather disappointed by some of her books. The Cottage definitely restored my faith in her. If you enjoy an easy, light-hearted read, then this is well worth a read. It tells the story of a veteran movie star Coop Winslow who is virtually bankrupt and takes in two lodgers to help pay for the upkeep of "The Cottage", the mansion where he has lived for the last 50 years and does not want to have to sell. The lives of these two lodgers Mark and Jimmy are revealed at the same time as Coop falls head over heels in love with a young but very wealthy doctor. For me it was a definite page turner and hope that her next book is just as good.
