- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5You’re telling me that in this day an age I’m supposed to believe that a whole army of people will fight for a woman’s rights while going against 5 privileged white men and the heroic tale of bring them to justice over SA her? I’ve read a lot of unbelievable nonsense but this takes the cake. It’s a no from me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a slow starting book with several characters. Yet it did end on a positive note and a lesson on good morals.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book dealt with some very serious issues that are in the world today.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A good topic to cover. Kind of disappointed in the writing style. I felt the 'flow' was missing and sometimes felt I was reading a list of facts - a little bit repetitive in places too.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars.
For me, this book was slightly different from DS’s usual books. She tackled a difficult subject of underage drinking and rape at an exclusive private school gingerly from introducing a large cast of characters, to the incident thru the investigation and sentencing. So many kids and parents to remember, in addition to school administration and teachers, detectives and lawyers. Interesting dynamics on how the parents handled the incident, and I thought one in particular could have been explored more, and one completely glossed over.
Of course in typical DS fashion, the ending is tied up nicely and not really in line with the main story, more of the secondary players. This is a fast-paced read that will hold your attention, but might frustrate you also. I felt the sympathies in the book leaned to one side. But, with that said, there is a lot to discuss and more to think about.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Press/Ballantine for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Moral Compass by Danielle Steel is different from the authors other novels. It delves into the serious topic of teenage drinking and a female being assaulted. Saint Ambrose Preparatory School is admitting female students for the first time in its history. Taylor Houghton IV, the headmaster, knows that his career is on the line so this venture must be a success. There are no problems until Halloween arrives and some students decide to bring out alcohol they have sneaked onto campus. Campus security receive a late night anonymous call that has them finding a female student unconscious. She must have her stomach pumped from the vast quantities of alcohol consumed and a SAFE exam performed. The book follows the investigation along with the trial and its outcome. We see the consequences of making the decision to overindulge in alcohol and how it affects others. I thought the story was well-written and it proceeded at a steady pace. I like how the author dealt with the such terrible and relevant topic of violence against a young woman. Moral Compass is a timely novel (what people call “ripped from the headlines”) that hopefully will allow people to see that the victim should not be blamed when they are assaulted. The victim is not on trial nor should they be. Moral Compass allows readers to see this sensitive issue dealt with from various points-of-view. Moral Compass is a compelling story whose title truly fits.
