Honor Thyself is the first Danielle Steel book I have read in a long time and unfortunately it didn’t compare to the books I’ve enjoyed in the past.  The tone of the story and the main character came across as uninteresting and I had a difficult time getting into the story.  I’m used to Ms. Steel’s characters making me feel for them, especially the heroines.  I’m used to women who make me cheer their strength and feel compassion for their pain, I felt none of that for Carole, or anyone else in the story.  I did find some interest in the chapters toward the end of the book and even though I wasn’t crazy about the majority of this story, the ending did make me smile. Honor Thyself may not have held my interest, but other Danielle Steel fans may find it to their liking.
