Rating: Summary: Second Orphan Review: Crystal is an intelligent girl, who is an orphan. She is adopted by a couple, Karl and Thelma Morris and quickly adapts to their lifestyle, even though her adoptive mother is living in a world of soap opera and romance novels. Crystal even has a boyfriend. But then, her chance for happiness is taken from her, and she is alone in the world again.This is the second book in the orphans series, and it's not very good. None of the books are, the writer uses poor metaphors, which try to be sophisticated, but fall flat. However, like Butterfly, some good scenes and good characters make up for all the shortcomings, and believe me, there are a lot. I read the Wildflowers series, also, but I didn't like those girls, the way I like the Orphans. They aren't as human, somehow. Try the series, at least once, and remember, VC Andrews is dead. This is just a ghost writer, and if you don't believe me, look at the small print in the front cover.

Rating: Summary: Crystal.... not a gem..not to me. Review: Honestly, I don't like "Crystal".
There are a couple of lines that could really confuse kids.
Plus, the people in it and the situations are so off-putting.
I don't know what it is with 'Virginia Andrews' characters all being wacko, especially sexually.
And both Crystal and her best friend having always longed to "play Doctor"..??????? This book is just Sick!!!
Most of it was just nauseating
I found myself disliking all the characters and not caring what happened to them.
And the sudden phone call informing Crystal of her foster parents' death , at the end, seemed so out-of-the-blue that it was almost like.. a cop-out. (Similisr to Mr. Harvey's sudden death by falling icicle in The Lovely Bones)
Overall!!!!.. This book just really left me with a gross taste in my mouth.
(Please. No cracks like "stop eating the pages" I'm predicting this already)
Anyway, I;m so glad I'm through with it!
I stuck it in my bookshelf after I'd finally finished it and couldn't help thinking to myself, "What a load of crap that was!"
Actually, I was reading the final chapters in my Specialists waiting room and I thought of just leaving it there among the magazines when I left.But my conscience wouldn't allow it.What if some other poor person actually decided to READ IT!!!
That wouldn't be fair.
(I'm not trying to be funny.I swear to God I honestly thought this)
So now this yucky-yucky book is on my bottom shelf, never to be touched again!!!!
(It's just gross,I hate it.)
Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: I am curently reading the book but i just can't put it down. It is just such a great book. Almost anyone would love this book.
Rating: Summary: Very Good but could've been a little better. Review: I have really enjoyed this one but I wish that Crystal could've had one last kiss with Bernie before she left. It would've been neat if she could've lived with Ashley at the end. Out of all this was a very good book, good plot.
Rating: Summary: Crystal has a new chance for a better life Review: Intelligent Crystal has spent most of her life living in a not so nice orphanage. She watched others get adopted before her and tried to sever all ties off from people her age. But one day everything changes when she's adopted by two very nice people Thelma and Kurt. Kurt lives his life by a constant schedual and is very organized. Thelma lives her life through the soap operas she watches on TV and the Romance novels she reads. Crystal feels slighlty out of place in this world but finds a friend in the smart boy down the street, Bernie. But when one single act shatters all that she has. She finds herself back where she started. Like Raven and Butterfly, Crystal is a good read though a bit unrealistic. I'm looking foreward to read Brooke (the 3rd short book in the series) and Runaways (the full length novel staring all four girls.)
