It came as no small relief when I finally got to the end of this book. I think I would have preferred having bowel surgery in the woods with a stick than even contemplating reading this. The only remotely interesting thing to do is to laugh at the disastrous writing style. At one point there is about have a page describing Daisy's lips. All very well but we do all already know what lips look like. Perhaps the most depressing thing is the characterisation, you either have the good character: Daisy, or somebody else. It is painfully obvious that Judith Krantz has little or no writing talent but us simply copying someone else's style, for them for it painted an artful picture, for her it is a whole lot of uselss adjectives.

I admit it, i 'judge a book by it's cover'. That is the reason i first picked up "Princess Daisy", the cover was beautiful. The story turned out to be equally compelling. The key to a good book is making you feel like you are in the story, and making the characters and their situations seem real. Krantz does this wonderfully. I was captured by the story of Daisy, her life, her struggles, and her triumphs. When i reached the last chapter, i was extremely disappointed. I didn't want the story to end! I read this last chapter over and over, and i hoped for a sequel. I highly recommend reading this novel to anyone who enjoys reading about romance, adventure, and mystery; this book has it all, and pulls it off well.

I never expected Princess Daisy to be as good of a read as it was. They story is captivating and the herione, Daisy makes you want to be her. Krantz's descriptions of the places in the novel are so wonderful that you feel as though you were right there. All the different characters in this book seem to all have a little secret and it just makes you want to read more and more to uncover it. If you have never read a romance novel before, I would recommend that you read this novel. This is probably my favorite book because of the unique way Krantz presents the story along with her detailed descriptions of everyone and everything in the book. I enjoyed this book so much that i went and bought the miniseries.
